trump's silence is startling. Of course he will never blame his wife....Putin.
Did trump give Putin the access?
I have 0 trust in our security services identifying where a cyber attack came from
Show me the evidence
99% of the time you have to go and bust down doors in real time to really know who was doing what.
Usually they're relying on simple IP addresses a small child could obfuscate their moves with. Maybe they have more, but they never reveal it.
It's digital, simply copying a russian tool doesn't make it a russian operation.
It's crazy how much the right love russia.
I'm a centrist who hates russians, but i also know how computers work
I can log into this site via vpn or proxy and make myself look like a russian by these standards
And these are tools available to consumers through a few clicks of a GUI. YOu don't even really need to understand what an IP address is
Surprise there will be no retaliation because this is how we do things. Americans have NEVER said intelligence gathering was an act of war. If it was most of the countries on the planet could rightly declare war on us. It crosses zero lines Americans have drawn.
I'm not even white
You hate Russians?
But you at least seem to be saying that this supposed Russian cyber attack is just nonsense at least.
Most Americans will likely try to take a position on this according to their political preferences. It's designed to put Trump in a very dangerous position of entertaining and expressing peaceful relations with Russia. And so the vast majority of Americans won't be able to support both Trump and Russia.
For that reason I can say that on foreign relations only, Trump was the safer choice.
And of course from the POV of elevating Biden? Americans will come together on hating Russia more than any other issue can bring them together.
Or China. But China can't be used against Trump now because he took the politically correct positio on China.
