Elections, Hacking, Russia, And Trump: This Is Serious

[Othelos]

anyone else concerned that some conservatives are warming up to Putin?

I see friendliness as a non-issue. We should aim to be able to have a close and positive relationship. If Russia is indeed trying to influence the election, then yes, we should be concerned. Although its more so angry democrats and disgruntled republicans pointing the finger.


However, overturning the election results would cause more trouble than I think we could imagination.

I don't think overturning the election result is a good idea, either; and them having meddled in the election isn't a strong enough reason, anyway.

We could have a close and positive relationship, if it wasn't for the fact that Russia often has very different goals than we do, and they ally themselves with nations we sometimes have trouble with (namely, China and Iran).

Republicans don't care about violation of confidence or secrecy as long as what gets exposed serves their ends, i.e. Linda Tripp secretly recording the phone conversation with Monica Lewinsky about the Clinton affair.

So people shouldn't be able to know the truth? We shouldn't know the Dems openly tried to rig their primaries and have foreign contributions?

The democratic party is just as corrupt (or, probably more so) than the Republican party. This election cycle laid democratic corruption bare.

the presidents party is never favored in midterms. And if they actually do what they say they will if people vote them in again they are beyond saving and dont deserve democracy.

They'll pull a page from the Bush playbook and ideals have the U.S. in a military conflict probably with China or Iran to use the Can't Vote Out a War President excuse for Trump.

Not a bad idea actually...

It wasn't the Cubans that was operating them.

Irrelevant since the infrastructure wasn't there in Cuba *to* use them.

They did not have the capacity to reach american cities that much is true but the Russian commander was authorized to use them as tactical nuclear warheads in the defense of Cuba.

Ya nobody wants to go to war anytime soon. We just got out of a 10+ year war

It'll be a joint invasion from Russia and the US into Iran.

Well the Soviets were completely bluffing in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

It's not going to work this time around though, especially if your opponent says "no more foreign wars, American jobs first!" You need a cool down of about 10 years be for ya start another one.

Which just proves my point even further. As nobody wants to go to war anytime soon

Damn. You're probably right.

I always couldn't stand Trump's isolationist positions...

Gonna be a long ride buddy. Either for the next 4 years or 8 years depending on how the guys does.

This tactic isnt a exclusively new one. Both parties are using it.

Wait, is the "this is serious" part of the title supposed to be a joke?

I don't agree. We've got plenty of warhawks on both sides. Its all on how you dress it up that depends on whether they support it.

Until the world ends. But don't worry, plenty are saying that won't be too long from now.

It might very well not be and people voted for someone who doesnt believe in climate change, may have committed treason and talks about using nuclear weapons causally and insulted everyone who wasnt a white male.

I didn't say that it was and nor did I say that only one party used it.

That is completely false.

Trump insulted many white males.
