This was an act of war

[Botany]

and the republicans went along w/it.

1. Nope. Interfering in elections is sop for international

affairs and not an act of war. We do it all the time to other countries.

[delisen]

2. Of course this was an act of war. How many times done is irrelevant

as to whether or not an act of war.

Guns and bombs are not the only weapons of war.

[Duppers]

6. We have.

9. No idea what planet you're on, but CYBER WAR IS AN ACT OF WAR. You're welcome

[Voltaire2]

12. Earth, thanks.

It isn't at all clear that hacking another nation's stuff is an act of war. It could be, but then again it might not. But I was referring explicitly to interfering in an election. If that is an act of war then we have a very long history of committing acts of war against other nations and can hardly get all huffed about it happening to us without our appearing to be massively hypocritical.

3. Sure it was/is

We must not forget that putin is not in any way, shape or fashion our friend.

Same can be said for lips mcConnell and ly'n fukin ryan

4. An enemy can wage and win a war by stealth-Ancient Troy

leaned this too late.

We have a window here in which to act and prevent annihilation.

5. Because they are fucking traitors.

That's all. They. Are. Just. Fucking. TRAITORS!

7. Both McConnell and Ryan knew

Both McConnell and Ryan knew

God only knows how wide and deep this corruption goes. Ryan is in a
CYA mood right now.

How did McConnell know if he waited until after the election he would have
somebody else to vote for for SCOTUS?

Paul Ryan & Republican Establishment Used Hacked Info From Russia Against Democrats:

Let's not forget that a super PAC tied to Paul Ryan used material provided by Russia's hacking of the DNC and DCCC.

It was known that Russia had stolen material from the DNC and DCCC and a Paul Ryan Super PAC and as well as other Republican groups used it.

It wasn't just Hillary Clinton being attacked. It wasn't just Trump benefiting. There's potentially more collusion than just that between Trump's team and Russia.

********
It was a coup and we had and still have treason.

8. Absolutely.

10. Thank you for this. Some of us have been saying it since jump, and called every kind of name for it.

11. Stealth war

I've been saying this for a while now, we are in the stealth phase of WWIII. When Vlad gets all he figures he can get using stealth means, he will move on to- what? This is about revenge for the demise of the USSR, it's really that simple.
