Saw it speculated on another site that O strikes at Russia, Putin doesn't take the bait. O stages a false flag to look like Russia struck at us.

Fairy tale reasoning perhaps but considering the potential as I smooth wrinkles in my tin foil hat.

I wonder if they could ask Mr. Putin to send us Pavel Datysuk back first, I sure do miss him and the Wings could really use their star center back.

Only a real and true chicken $hit would announce punishment to a person or a country, just days before he walks out of the oval office. Or should it be he is ducking out the backdoor.

Well, it's done now and rightfully so. (35) Russians expelled and two compound shut down among other things. We have all the proof of Russia cyber-tampering with all our systems and Obama has hit 'em with some major sanctions by way of our NATIONAL SECURITY TEAM. Furthermore, all the Republicans are with Obama on these sanctions saying they're WAY OVER DUE and more should be implemented...(Paul Ryan.) Trump was told by Obama what was about to happen and why and all he could say was:

"I think we ought to get on with our lives." "I think that computers have complicated lives very greatly, the whole you know age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what's going on," Trump told reporters outside his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

"We have speed we have a lot of other things, but I'm not sure you have the security that you need," Trump said. He added that he has not spoken with senators who have called for sanctions.

I find it interesting that he has not yet spoken with our intelligence or senators about these sanctions but, he literally tweeted within minutes when Putin praised him for his Rex Tillerson pick, and, even brandished a letter from Putin on how their bromance would increase. This is the second time Trump has either ignore or simply didn't know what to say or do in the middle of a national security issue. The first one was regarding our drone where so much time lapsed that it was unreal. But, he can tweet out within hours on how Obama couldn't beat him in a third term run. Trump is in a very serious bind here because once he's sworn in, he'll have to PLEDGE AND PROMISE TO PROTECT THIS COUNTRY from people like Putin and his spies. If Trump even remotely comes close to even thinking about rolling back any of this, everyone will have a crystal clear message on what Trump's real position is.

Here's a thought: if this were Obama talking about how good Putin and Russia are after all this hacking had taken place, and Hillary had won this election, those who are applauding Putin-Russia and Trump right now would be asking for Obama's head on a platter for being a TRAITOR. Russia and Putin are about to exploit just who the real traitors and patriots of this country really are. This is simply a game for Putin and he simply wants to turn this country against itself through Trump. It's sad to say, but it's the truth. Just look at how people are now embracing Russia and Putin simply because of Trump's thoughts on Putin. We have always stood together AGAINST Russia while maintaining decent diplomacy because we know how Putin REALLY is.

Abraham Lincoln said it best...

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

Just in...literally: Trump to provide a written response to the sanctions and actions against Russia sometime this evening or tonight. I really hope he doesn't jack around with something this serious because he's now about to send a message to the whole world regarding our national security and how he plans to handle it once in office. This will speak volumes.
