Dick Cheney: Russian Election Interference Possibly ‘Act of War’
NBC News ^ | 3/28/2017 | Petra cahill

Posted on 03/28/2017 8:45:39 AM PDT by usafa92

Former Vice President Dick Cheney says Russia's alleged interference in the U.S. presidential election could be interpreted by some as an "act of war."

"There was a very serious effort made by Mr. Putin and his government, his organization, to interfere in major ways with our basic, fundamental democratic processes," Cheney said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. "In some quarters that would be considered an act of war."

Cheney's statement comes at a time when both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives intelligence committees are investigating alleged Russian meddlin in the election that brought President Donald Trump to power.

U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia conducted a covert hacking operation to undermine the U.S. election process, which evolved into an attempt to help Trump win the White House. They also believe with "a high level of confidence" that Putin became personally involved in the campaign to interfere in the election.

Cheney's comments came up in the context of him speaking about the changing nature of the U.S. -Russia relationship being a threat to U.S. security and globalization.

In his speech to the Economic Times Global Business Summit in the Indian city of New Delhi on Monday, Cheney listed off some of Putin's recent actions as examples of how he believes Russia is flexing its muscles as a global power.

I wonder how many of these CIA coups since 1948 Cheney was aware of or in some way even helped?

Chris, no one calls him Little Dick. For a reason.

This was a newspaper photo taken during the second campaign for Bush Cheney. He was on the campaign trail trying some special ice cream or yogurt. At the time when this was published, the admin had it scrubbed from the Internet. The only image available was from people who took photos of the newspaper photo. We see why he has always had such heart trouble.

How many countless elections did the USA try to tip over the years?

*************

An inconvenient fact that seems to be verboten. And Cheney has to know about most of them.

Ah well, the Republicans can’t repeal Obamacare, or build the wall. I guess we’ll have to settle for war with Russia.

WHAT the h%&l difference does it make IF the Russians were involved or IF Hillary accepted MILLIONS from foreign powers (likely the enemies of the US)and HAS BEEN accepting funds from abroad for DECADES?

I mean-Let’s get REAL here!

Notice that the United States is listed in 1963? I guess the mafia didn’t act alone.

"U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia conducted a covert hacking operation"

What?

Where is the proof of this? Are these the famous "unnamed sources"?

The reason why the Dems and the Globalists keep calling the hacking of John Podesta’s and the DNC’s emails an “act of war” is because if they can find any contact between the Trump team and the Russians to argue collusion, then that would be “treason” to support impeachment and removal of Trump.

Make no mistake. The Dems want to destroy America and the Globalists want to continue looting America.

They both agree on massive immigration for cheap labor and unrestricted free trade to allow US industry to relocate to cheaper countries and yet freely resell into the USA.

And both want massive US government and private sector debt in order to keep the punchbowl filled with government and consumer spending until the last possible moment before collapse, when the locusts will move on to other places.

Mexico has sent 15 million of their citizens into our country illegally and they ARE voting in our elections, that is who interfered in our election.
Cheney would never point that out because he was in on the repopulation of America with Spanish speaking peoples from south of the border.
