So if I were Vladimir Putin
-
What reason would I have for trying to help Donald Trump win the White House? Under Democrat control I know at the United States is unwilling to do anything substantial should I take any action they didn't like.
I'm not blind I can see how the lead from behind or not at all plan worked out in Libya and Iran.
I know Administration allowed the Iranians to bend them over.
I know Hillary gave us a sweetheart uranium deal for a few million dollars to the Clinton Foundation.
But most importantly if the United States really is my adversary what better way to make them look foolish than to pull a little bit of a prank and uncover some dirt so that they will spend the next four years spinning their wheels?
We know Hillary's voters don't care about anything that was leaked and we know that the Democrat security was dismal.
I'd say we are laughing our ass off as the Democrats hyperventilate. Ironically they didn't care when the red Chinese hacked us in 2015 nor did they say Jack schitt about it when they realized we were snooping months before the election.
Hillary and Cleve need excuses.

Conspiracy theory number 2 the DNC went out of their way to allow somebody to hack their dirty work so they could scream about it just in case Donald Trump actually won.
I mean in the end it was the clintons partners at the Washington Post let's build the sewage right?

Well for starters there's this whole oil deal with Exxon (whose CEO is now your secretary of state) - worth around $500bn apparently, and got put on hold after the US imposed sanctions on Russia for 'borrowing' Crimea. Now, you know where a large part of money generated by those things ends up, and it's not with the average joe. So that's just for starters - Putin and his gang lining their own pockets.
Basically, they want someone friendly with them to lift these kind of sanctions and in Trump they found someone easy to manipulate. There's one reason.

Well the whole Uranium clinton foundation thing was just a big coinky dink. Don't be a sexist bigot.
But not funding terrorists in Syria is probably among the things Putin prefers about a Trump presidency.
-
So give 150 million bucks a couple hookers and a bag of weed to Bill for a speech in st. Petersburg and the Crimean situation is all good.
Manipulate I assume is a British euphemism for coming to a deal that works for both sides. Rather than just obstruct something for the sweet fuck of it.

No, manipulate is seeing a guy with an ego the size of russia, who swoons when you say nice things and behaves like a petulant child when you don't.

Ego? Obama?
Anyway the presumptive Secretary of State probably understands the situation better than anyone available.
No longer a requirement, I understand.

Ha, right, he understand the oil situation I don't doubt. Specifically, how he can make himself money, and especially now with the political clout he has. But that's a good thing, right?

Yes it is.Ha, right, he understand the oil situation I don't doubt. Specifically, how he can make himself money, and especially now with the political clout he has. But that's a good thing, right?
At the very least a step above his predecessor who understood nothing.
But welcome back to the Cold War.
