PUTIN in the FRAME for RUSSIAN HACKING - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

The question that has to be asked is how Putin thought he could get away with hacking during the US election, the answer is simple, Moscow does not fear Obama, he has shown himself to be weak when faced by a strong opponent.   A charge that Russia was helping an opponent at the height of the Cold War would lead to that campaign going down to a major loss, these days that is still true if President Obama had been a strong leader, but when he failed to follow his own read lines in Syria it was shown that he was weak and would not stand up to the enemies of the US.   The major failure for US foreign policy and national security is President Obama.

The Republicans and the Electoral College - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

The Democrats and the Greens and those on the left have tried everything to stop Trump, it looks like the electoral college path is closed down, it was long shot anyway.  The Presidential Election was there for HRC to lose, and she lost it for the 2nd time.   The Democrats have to regroup and find a new leader, the Clinton years of leadership is over, the power that the Clintons had was based on the fact that they would be the next couple in the White House, that path now is also closed.    The Democrats need to look at the younger generation of leaders to come to the fore, they have four years to search for a new leader, it can not be leaders who are in their 70s, there day is OVER.

Capital Hill and US Intelligence - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

This blog was shocked that the CIA refused to brief the US Congress, not telling them is one thing, this blog expects that but to state in public that they are refusing is another matter.  This blog in its years of appearing has supported the CIA when it comes to its operations, this blog is not to keen on ever Congress being let in to secrets, they LEAK.   But this is different, this is a Russian secret operation to cause problems in the US elections.  Either there is proof or the material coming out of the CIA is being used for political reasons to hurt the new Trump Campaign.   Let's see what material can be released without hurting US national security.

DID the Russians HACK the Republicans ? - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

Senator Graham was an early opponent of Donald Trump, so the news that Russian intelligence hacked him is no great surprise if you think that the Russians went out of their way to support Trump and his campaign.   The question is WHAT to do about it, the idea to block Trump at the Electoral College is a long shot, would 37 electors really vote for HRC or someone else, one has doubts.   Thus the intelligence networks and their friends on the HILL have to make Trump change his mind, that is going to take time, as we know Trump has a thin skin, much like Obama, so good luck to those that think they can change the World view of Trump.
