The problem isn't that Russia isn't attacking the US, no, the real problem is that the US govt

is unwilling to form a defense against those attacks... or maybe they're unable.

Which is it?



And that is the question that will light a fire underneath some rears... "unwilling or unable?"

The problem is a bunch of extremists, all Republican, whose greed for power exceeds any loyalty they ever had for the principles of this nation.

Sure, it could very well be that the administration is LETTING Russia do these cyber-attacks, but maybe, just maybe, that's not the case... and really, it's that they can't stop Russia from doing these cyber-attacks.

See what I'm getting at? How do we know they're not incompetent? How do we know they're actually in control here? How do we know they're not asleep at the switch?

It's not your job to say "unwilling", it's their job to say "unwilling".

We all need to be asking the question.

components and it's necessary to address ALL the components present. It should be obvious that
when we review the behaviors of all reTHUGS/cultists that they welcome any intervention that will keep them in power and increase it even if it destroys our country. It's my duty/job as a Christian and a Democrat to point this out. Evidently we have different concepts of what "duty" means.
