DC Tom Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 DAVID HARSANYI: Democrats are more likely to believe the Russians installed Donald Trump into the presidency than Republicans are to have ever believed Barack Obama was a Muslim. Why are Democratic constituencies such cesspits of paranoia and outdated beliefs? Because the narrative is more important than facts [/CRT] You know what Obama's legacy is really going to be? Used to be, special interests and "protected classes" were protected by the government from persecution by the public at large. Obama's convinced special interest and "protected classes" that they have to be protected by the party from persecution by the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin is to smart to take the bait. He knows Barry is a complete fraud, He is just going to wait a couple weeks and let the child beat his rattle on his high chair until a man steps to the table where they will both proceed to laugh at the little boys antics.

You do know it's not a unilateral decision, these deployments? They're a result of a request by NATO members to have NATO forces based in their countries. Furthermore, the history of those countries is that for the past 350 years, they've been an integral part of the Russian Empire (in its various forms) for more than three hundred of them, so they're understandably a little concerned (which is why they made the request.) And the US forces being deployed are miniscule - between 400 and 800 Special Forces to be used in a training role. Only the Danes are contributing less - Germany and France are both committing combat forces (including German tanks). Fretting over "Obama's" irresponsibility in this case is ridiculous. Even if the "great man" principle were accurate (it's not), there's a multitude of forces at work here that would mitigate it anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 It makes for a great headline though. You have to admit. Maybe Trump could de-escalate the situation in a face-to-face meeting with Putin by giving him a new Anova and vacuum machine and a whole book of recipes on how to sous vide prepare his favorite Russian dishes.

B-Man Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Emails were leaked, not hacked http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bs-ed-hacking-intelligence-20170105-story.html Here's the difference: Hack: When someone in a remote location electronically penetrates operating systems, firewalls or other cyber-protection systems and then extracts data. Our own considerable experience, plus the rich detail revealed by Edward Snowden, persuades us that, with NSA's formidable trace capability, it can identify both sender and recipient of any and all data crossing the network. Leak: When someone physically takes data out of an organization — on a thumb drive, for example — and gives it to someone else, as Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning did. Leaking is the only way such data can be copied and removed with no electronic trace. Because NSA can trace exactly where and how any "hacked" emails from the Democratic National Committee or other servers were routed through the network, it is puzzling why NSA cannot produce hard evidence implicating the Russian government and WikiLeaks. Unless we are dealing with a leak from an insider, not a hack, as other reporting suggests. From a technical perspective alone, we are convinced that this is what happened.
