MP Vyacheslav Nikonov says U.S. spies slept while Russia elected a U.S. President. pic.twitter.com/BmMNBTr41R
On a Sunday panel show, a Russian politician said U.S. “intelligence missed it when Russian intelligence stole the president of the United States.”
Vyacheslav Nikonov, a member of the Russian parliamentary body, the Duma, made the remarks on the panel show “Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov.”
The focus of the episode was the decline of U.S. power in the world. In that context, said University of Virginia professor Allen Lynch via email, Nikonov was less stating the extent of Russia's involvement in the 2016 election, and more mocking the resulting chaos as emblematic of U.S. weakness.
“His point in making the remark was that if the U.S. can’t protect the integrity of its own electoral system, then how powerful can it really be?” wrote Lynch.
It should be noted that this is NOT he same Russian politician who earlier this month suggested that Russia should release the "kompromat" they have on Donald Trump.
Which means that these are two different Russian politicians, both on government controlled TV, essentially admitting that the Russians did exactly what Vladimir Putin has denied they did all of this time.
And now they get to brag about it to their constituents while we are left trying to fix the damage that they caused.
And Trump supporters have their fingers in their ears, singing la-la-la-can't-hear-you.

We didn't have a decline in America until Trump got into the White House. Before that America was great.
ReplyDeleteSo because Putin probably blamed America for its' past decline he went ahead and hatched up this grandiose plan to bring us down.
Butthurt in the worst way. Instead, he should just build up his country. But no, it ends up being about him now that he's stolen all the money from his people and they are his puppets.
It's sad. One day the people of Russia will revolt. But for now they are afraid of being killed by some invisible poison.
Now, America is playing into his plans by divided. God bless America!

ReplyDeleteRussia used Facebook to organize racist rallies to help Trump
ReplyDeleteThe Facebook events were posted on the account of the phony group “SecureBorders,” which was a Russian front. The posting called for a protest in Twin Falls, Idaho, which it described as “a center of refugee resettlement, which led to the huge upsurge of violence towards American citizens.”

Russia Used Facebook Events to Organize Anti-Immigrant Rallies on U.S. Soil
ReplyDeletePushing fake news was just one component of the Russian campaign to shape American minds. Part two: organizing anti-immigrant events echoing themes from the pro-Trump press.

ReplyDelete"“When the Russians submitted this proposal, they were under the impression that Trump would do what he said he would do: Make a deal with Putin"
"An anonymous State Department official said that they have informed Moscow that all paths to “normalization” go through Ukraine."
CRIMEa.

If we really want America to be great again, the first step is to get rid of Donald Trump.
ReplyDeleteIn a perfect world, that would happen. But then again he never would have been elected in the first place.
DeleteTold you so.

"Multiple recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program were detained for hours on Monday at a Customs and Border Protection checkpoint in Falfurrias, Texas, according to an immigration attorney."
"Still, the alleged detentions in Falfurrias could point to something troubling for DACA recipients: either a change in policy that entails more intense screening of them, or a lack of clarity that leads to agents taking actions against Dreamers without direction from the top."
I keep reading how Putin stole the US Presidential election, and while I don't doubt reports of all the shady techniques and tactics he used, one thing is more important than all else: the voting citizens of our Country that bought this con man's bullshit walk among us. THAT is what's frightening to me.
