Russian pol: US intel missed 'Russian Inteligence' stealing the 'President of the US'.

Last edited Tue Sep 12, 2017, 02:02 PM - Edit history (1)

Source: The Hill

Vyacheslav Nikonov, a member of the Russian parliamentary body, said on Russian television that U.S. intelligence “missed it when Russian intelligence stole the president of the United States,” The Hill reports.


Nikonov was making the point about the superiority of Russia’s intelligence services over U.S. regarding knowledge of North Korea, Afghanistan and Syria.

Those bastards knew that by installing a total incompetent in the White House they'd destabilize the US for years to come. It's succeeding beyond their wildest dreams and at this point they don't care who knows it.

I think the chaos is beyond anything that Putin could have hoped for. He is probably thinking, those Americans are dumber than I thought.

I don't know anyone who could foresee 35% of the voting electorate as just out and out racists who'd form a racist cult following with Trump and disregard morality and decency. That's my theory based on scientific research on observation. At least not on the democrat side.

I don't even think its the rights wing media anymore. Trump's lies are so blatant, his immiral character so obvious, that it's the people who are flawed.

They could see that after enough of the American electorate saw fit to provide support for tricky dick, ronnie raygun, and the bush crime cabal enabling them to get installed into the White House, doing the same with dump was a completely realistic possibility.

It's not like about a third of the country can't be fooled into voting for incompetent or evil* candidates.

Not to mention the people who'd rather tear down the DNC than strengthen it.

I'm not sure why it fails to resonate with people that Hillary got 68.000.000 million votes and got 3,000,000 more than her opponent in the GE, and we're all supposed to act like some disgraced minority.

Sick. Of. It.

Illegal Aliens voting, and the idiots who shout praises to Trump think he is right, ...stupid sick motherfuckers with no education and no proof, just Hearsay from THE fat MOUTH in the White House.

With that Logic, shouldn't have Hillary won? Well she did, the popular vote not the HACKED Electoral Collage.

However, since it seems that Republicans now adore and trust Russians (stop turning over, Ronnie), how can the Republicans do anything other than accept the assertion.

He just assumed that nobody except Russians would be listening or would understand him right?

It's not like he took an ad out in the New York Times, he probably figured this would stay under wraps.

US politicians were the ones who failed to listen. The IC gathered the data. The entire political establishment, but mostly on the GOP side, turned a deaf ear. It's in the record. Plain and simple. The GOP had too much to lose, from their POV, to call an end to Russian aid. Now they're in hot RICO water-- the entire GOP leadership.
