Forums - Politics Discussion - The Russian Debate

I've watched this on x2 speed, It's a calm debate between two democrats that's worth watching. I'll post my opinion on the points discussed later if there is enough interest in this topic.

This is what I like about TYT, they are progressives but do have open debates about matters where they disagree. I think Kyle is completely delusional and naive when it comes to the matters of Russian collusion but it's good that they have the debate.



Link?



Honestly, I can't believe it has been going on for so long as a major development in american media and politics.....

What were russia involvment ? A few targeted ads on facebook that were ridiculously low in numbers compared to the money spent by the two candidates, some bots on Twitter, the hack of the democratic commitee and some mail of Podesta, which faled too dig something important.

In comparison of that, the USA has decades of history of meddling with other country politics, by military actions, by sanctions, by financing coup d'etat and other coloured revolutions. Clinton herself tried to boost up Russian opposition, and medlde in Russian politics as the US did in Ukraine.

The US got a taste of their own medicine, and on a so little scale and so little level, that it is really ridiculous to see the reactions. You reap what you sow.



The only reason Russia is even a topic at this point is because Trump won.

If everything had went according to plan for the powers-that-be and Hillary Clinton was the one in the White House, does anyone honestly thing we'd be hearing a peep about any of this stuff?

Especially all the text messages and communications that have now come to light between the FBI, Obama's DOJ and the Clinton campaign showing a clear orchestration in monitoring and trying to get any dirt they could on the Trump campaign at the time, including colluding with foreign sources and spy agents, the very thing that they accuse Trump of doing!

The only thing the Russians did in regards to the 2016 elections was they hacked members of the DNC and released a bunch of emails via Wikileaks that basically confirmed what everyone already knew - the DNC and their buddies in the media and government were in the tank for Hillary all along, and it blew up in their faces when Trump won.

Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

Here is Robert Mueller stating Saddam had WMDs and had the will to use them against the U.S. and her allies:

This is Iraq WMD lies 2.0 and my mind is blown people are falling for it. Do we forget how much the Democrats worshipped Russia in 2012?

Romney, who calls Russia our "No. 1 geopolitical foe," doesn't seem to realize it's the 21st century. #RomneyNotReady


- The Democrats -

After all, you don't call Russia our No. 1 enemy -- not Al-Qaida, Russia -- unless you're still stuck in a Cold War mind warp.


- Barack Obama at the 2012 DNC - http://www.npr.org/2012/09/06/160713941/transcript-president-obamas-convention-speech

You (Romney) said Russia (was our no. 1 enemy), in the 1980s, they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War's been over for 20 years. But Governor, when it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s.

"Mitt Romney talks like he's seen Russia by watching Rocky IV.


The DNC even made a poster mocking Romney about watching Rocky IV to get his foreign policy: https://theintercept.com/wp-uploads/sites/1/2016/09/romneykerry.jpg

Its someone dated to be looking backwards.


- Then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Romney's views on Russia http://www.redstate.com/erick/2014/03/04/hillary-clinton-mocked-romney-on-russia-then-goes-to-hitler-comparisons/

Vice President Joe Biden assailed Mitt Romney as “fundamentally wrong” and “totally out of touch” on foreign policy in a campaign speech Thursday — contrasting that to a record of President Barack Obama’s tough but right choices.

Drawing contrasts between President Barack Obama and comments Romney has made on the campaign trail in 2008 and this year, Biden attacked the former Massachusetts governor for being “one of a small group of Cold War holdovers,” for naming Russia as a major threat to the United States and at times referring to Soviets.

"I don’t know whether it’s a slip of the tongue or a mind-set … Everybody slips. I never do, but everyone does,” Biden said in a self-deprecating nod to his own gaffes.[/quote]

VLADIVOSTOK, Russia — President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia sauntered into American presidential politics on Thursday, praising President Obama as “a very honest man” and chastising the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, for describing Russia as “without question our No. 1 geopolitical foe.”[/quote]

Trade With Russia Is a Win-Win. By making Moscow a normal trading partner, Congress would create American jobs and advance human rights.

It should be noted there's no proof Russia even did it. The FBI never investigated the servers. It was "investigated" a third party that is pro-Democrat and anti-Russia.

I think Russia hacking the DNC is an even bigger lie than WMDs.

The discussion about Russia medling came long before Trump was elected so what are you even talking about? And have you actually read these "bombshell" texts that have come out? There is nothing controversial about them at all, unless the far-right and Fox News reads them because they obviously neither understand how people who know each other text, and also that the FBI regularly inform the president on ongoing matters.

Why is Russia "meddling' in such a low scale such a big deal suddenly , outweighting all the meddling the US has done in the past decades?

Hacking a party sever, buying ads on facebook, leaking Podesta emails. That's what is claimed against Russians.

That's much much lower than US arming rebels, giving cash to oppositions, setting up whole organizations in other countryes, bullying sanctions, trying to kill head of states and so on.
