    He never said he didn't believe them in your quote. Moreover, what's he suppose to call him a liar to his face? That I am sure would go over well. Maybe he was just being flexible with Putin there..

    Those comments were not to Putin’s face lol although he’s made others.
    You can’t say he believes his Intel heads and putin when they’re saying 2 completely different things lol

    I thought you said they were standing beside one another? Either way, it's a figure of speech, it's not as if Putin isn't going to read the newspaper or turn on the news to hear what he has to say. Sure you can, it's called being more flexible. You act like being more flexible with foreign leaders is a bad thing all the sudden.

    I agree the President clearly has....he didn't order them to "stand down" like the prior Admin.

    I didn’t say he assisted. I said he tried to help them cover it up by lying about who was responsible.

    Yet another thread taken over by the pro/anti trump Obama Hillary Putin disputes, who lied, who is in bed with whom. You posters destroy the forum with this bickering in threads about other world topics.
    But what is most infuriating is most of you will ruin others questions but not bother to start your own threads on such bickering.
    This is an international forum not an exclusive US political soap opera.
    Start your own thread.

    You said that everyone would be a loser, which isn’t true as there are those who are victorious in world war.

    The off mic comment was to Dmitry Medvedev not Putin. Trump is working for Putin, not with him.

    Surely you understand that a war fought in the 21st century using 21st century weapons will be different from the war you alluded to which was fought in the mid-20th century using 20th century weapons. If there is a new international war...it will be much, much worse than anything that has gone before.

    It is my opinion that EVERYONE will be a loser in any future war.

    If you are of a different opinion...fine. Just state it...and we can all accept that it is YOUR opinion of what might happen.

    Their crime of posting memes on Facebook? I'm positive that you are glad that isnt actually a crime.

    Obama, the Clinton campaign, and the DNC helped Russia cover up their server intrusions by not responding or refusing to turn over evidence to the FBI.

    Yes I see us sinking into several proxy wars aggressively driven by arms sales, mining co's stripping resources and ruthless corporations vying for markets to monopolise... more so than territory. Behind them all will be investment bankers.

    3 things about this.

    1. One of the precursors will be a massive increase in the Chinese blue water navy, especially in amphibious assault ships like the American LST. Outside of that, you are correct. China can expand its borders into surrounding countries but they cant directly threaten any further than Japan.

    2. Putin wont act unless he has some sort of military cover, or if hes backed into a place where he may lose power.

    3. I suspect Iran or Pakistan/Turkey will be the initial flash point. It will draw American forces away from Europe and Russia. It will deteriorate American war stocks, and, probably most importantly, will encompass most of the middle east. The ME in chaos will give China and Russia the cover they need to strike out. In Russias case, it could even make it easier to take over the oil fields.

    No. He should have told the truth. That Russian bot farms were pushing fake news on social media.

    We dont even know if the DNC was hacked. We only have their word for it. Law enforcement was never allowed to investigate.

    But again, that hack happened under Obama and allowed it to continue.


    BTW, it will continue to happen because stupid people get their "news" from Facebook memes.
