Hopefully communicating isn't important either.ip_law-hokie wrote:You guys are full of excrement.USN_Hokie wrote:Sure hope IP doesn't have a job where interpreting text is important.

In the larger picture, I'm not sure it matters. Their goal is different than when the US meddles in elections. The US is generally pretty open about supporting a certain candidate and working to get them elected. Russia isn't doing that, they are trying to spread chaos. Everyone should be concerned and want to do what we can to understand how they are doing it, and to stop it.
How exactly is it different, the Russians did what to spread chaos? please explain.

You mean like meddling in the government of Libya? Or Syria? Or Egypt? Yep, no chaos there.HokieJoe wrote:HokieFanDC wrote:

So it's all about good intentions then? What if U.S. support results in chaos? Does that count?
It's all meddling in the foreign policy of the country question. The only thing that's really different is the method.HokieFanDC wrote: Their goal is different than when the US meddles in elections.

Correct. This is part of the planned diversion to keep the Trump admin in defensive mode and off balance, unable to proceed with his agenda.HokieJoe wrote:Vienna_Hokie wrote:You mean like meddling in the government of Libya? Or Syria? Or Egypt? Yep, no chaos there.HokieJoe wrote:HokieFanDC wrote:

We meddle in the governments and pick favorites all over the world every day. We use money, military power, CIA stuff, etc. The Chinese, the Russians, every major power in the world does it and always has.
I can 100% guarantee you that if Clinton had won, there would be NO Russian election crisis. All would be right with the world.
And "THE Goal" for all that do it is the same. To get a government or policies in place that are in what the meddling government believes are in it's best interests. Period. Nothing else. Choas may be in our best interest. It is in Russia and China's best interest because it takes focus off the things they are doing around the world that we otherwise would be involved in. If Putin was involved in this, he has been more successful than he could have imagined because the dems have played this far better for him than he could have ever hoped.HokieJoe wrote:Vienna_Hokie wrote:You mean like meddling in the government of Libya?

To be fair, it appears to be working. For example, where is this big infrastructure bill? This should be something that Trump could push through with bipartisan support.

All time and capital being spent addressing the Russian nothing burger. This is what the dems want.ip_law-hokie wrote:To be fair, it appears to be working.

Well, Republican congressmen are being shot in the streets by democrats, for one. Several bill hearings we postponed today. But yeah, other than that...ip_law-hokie wrote:

Of course it's working. Which BTW, drives home my point about the Russians. The left could give a good GD what the Russians do, as evidenced by their incompetent handling of Ukraine and Syria when Odumbo was in office.ip_law-hokie wrote:To be fair, it appears to be working.
