When a United States President reaches for the red phone, the reason behind the message MUST be worthy of such a communication.
Obama used the red phone to contact Vladimir Putin to demand Russia stop inserting itself into the 2016 presidential race which they didnt do! Apparently, unsupported claims of hacking into the Democrat Party emails was enough for Obama to call Putin on the emergency line which has always been reserved for far more important things, like discussions of acts of war.
At least one of Obamas senior advisers urged him to pick up the red phone and call Vladimir Putin, NBC News reports. Obama allegedly did not want to further inflame Russia so he used calming and less specific language when warning Putin about the consequences he would levy if the hacking and interference did not stop.
The red phone was part of the Cold War communication system with Russia. It directly connects Washington, D.C. with Moscow. Obama could have used a regular Oval Office land line to call Putin, but he was apparently trying to make a statement when opting instead for the emergency line.
During the conversation Barack Obama reportedly even used the phrase, armed conflict when warning Vladimir Putin to stop hacking emails of Democrat elites and members of Hillary Clintons senior campaign staff. During the G20 Summit in September, Obama also reportedly warned the Russian leader to steer clear of the 2016 presidential election.
International law, including the law for armed conflict, applies to actions in cyberspace, part of Obamas message sent over the Red Phone on October 31, said, according to a senior administration official. We will hold Russia to those standards.
The red phone system was created to communicate between the two nations during a moment of crisis, such as the September 11, terror attacks. It is not a real phone but instead began as a teletype more than five decades ago. It has since been converted into a fax machine and now an email transmitter link through the two nations Nuclear Risk Reduction Centers.
Obamas administration added a specific line that is intended to deal with cyber threats, which is the line Obama used for this communication. The releases of the hacked Democrat Party emails continued after this. Either Russia was not behind it, or Putin simply didnt find Obama all that intimidating.
Its a dramatic step to pick that phone up and use it, Retired Admiral James Stavridis, the former head of NATO, said. Obama has never used the red phone system to contact Vladimir Putin before.
Whining chants of Russia hacked our election are vastly misleading the uninformed members of the American public. When asked about exactly what Russia did, the vast majority of Liberals and their millennial snowflake offspring cant respond with any specifics, just that the Russians hacked our election. In reality, the DNC and Podestas email were leaked.
The phrase now commonly used by Liberal political elites and their cohorts in the mainstream media who make it sound as if Putins KGB goons pilfered with election results, committed voter fraud, or secreted away cast ballots. All the leakers, whomever they were, did to impact the election was to reveal the nasty insults and bias at play inside the Democrat Party and the Clinton campaign.
Time to call out the US Marshalls.
He is high on something in HI.
Get him under arrest NOW
“Pizza deliveries ARE faster when using the red phone”
The imposter prefers hot dogs.
At the very least handcuffed and sent to a federal detention center.
[homobama is flirting with instigating WWIII. What an idiot!]
Ha, Ha. Good one.
“Someone lock this Idiot up , PLEASE”
Or take him out.........ah for lunch.
So just who is the "insider" that leaked this information to the press?
He isn't working with that know it all guy named "anonymous" or his cousins "anonymous sources" or fellow compatriots "insider information" is he?
He called Glenn Beck?
Wow. The world has truly turned upside down.
We’re counting on the level-headedness of the Russian President to keep us out of an armed conflict because of the war-mongering of a US President.
Did he call Putin on the front 9 or the back 9?
Obamas pink phone? Funny to a deplorable like me. Trump will put the man phone back in. Hee, hee.
I actually doubt this happened (allegedly on Oct 31). This is revisionist history to support the ‘rusky hack’ claim.
Ah the old phony pizza order, those were the days!
According to some click-bait loser blog?
Yeah, I’m sure.
Because some loser blog found out about it.
Not like they want hits or anything.
Derp.
I wouldn't worry. It's not like Obama is far away, 2,500 miles off the coast of the Continental US. And it's not like Russian diplomats are leaving the country.
Oh wait, he is?...and they are?
I only hope that Trump is having back channel communications with Putin at this juncture. Let Putin know that a adult will soon be our president.
There is a very interesting article at The UNZ on the attempt of the coup to keep Trump out of office. the past few years Latin America has experienced several examples of the seizure of Presidential power by unconstitutional means, which may help illustrate some of the current moves underway in Washington. These are especially interesting since the Obama Administration served as the midwife for these regime changes.
Brazil, Paraguay, Honduras and Haiti experienced coups, in which the elected Presidents were ousted through a series of political interventions orchestrated by economic elites and their political allies in Congress and the Judiciary.
President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton were deeply involved in these operations as part of their established foreign policy of regime change. Indeed, the success of the Latin American coups has encouraged sectors of the US elite to attempt to prevent President-elect Trump from taking office in January.
While similarities abound, the on-going coup against Trump in the United States occurs within a very different power configuration of proponents and antagonists.
Firstly, this coup is not against a standing President, but targets an elected president set to take office on January 20, 2017. Secondly, the attempted coup has polarized leading sectors of the political and economic elite. It even exposes a seamy rivalry within the intelligence-security apparatus, with the political appointees heading the CIA involved in the coup and the FBI supporting the incoming President Trump and the constitutional process. Thirdly, the evolving coup is a sequential process, which will build momentum and then escalate very rapidly.
Coup-makers depend on the Big Lie as their point of departure accusing President-Elect Trump of 1) being a Kremlin stooge, attributing his electoral victory to Russian intervention against his Democratic Party opponent, Hillary Clinton and 2) blatant voter fraud in which the Republican Party prevented minority voters from casting their ballot for Secretary Clinton.
The first operatives to emerge in the early stages of the coup included the marginal-left Green Party Presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein, who won less than 1% of the vote, as well as the mass media.
In the wake of her resounding defeat, Candidate Stein usurped authority from the national Green Party and rapidly raked in $8 million dollars in donations from Democratic Party operatives and George Soros-linked NGOs (many times the amount raised during her Presidential campaign). This dodgy money financed her demand for ballot recounts in selective states in order to challenge Trumps victory. The recounts failed to change the outcome, but it was a first shot across the bow, to stop Trump. It became a propaganda focus for the neo-conservative mass media to mobilize several thousand Clintonite and liberal activists.
And no T.V. nor radio news outlet put any of this out.
This is just one sick movie, made up of scenes from THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, DR. STRANGELOVE, THE RIGHT MAN, and several different TWILIGHT ZONE episodes. YUCK!
I do not doubt it whatsoever. He wants a deadly war of any type, here or abroad. He wants total, continuing rule, martial law would be just dandy. I say he's a narcissistic megalomaniac, a truly dangerous man (sprung out of a messed up kid) running out of time.
