Putin says Russia will not expel American diplomats in response to US sanctions

We are all looking for some adult leadership instead of the Childish entitlement mentality coming from a community organizer.

Good note, John, stay warm.

Petty officer Hunter, I thought I made it clear that I have no intention of getting involved in international politics. If you spent some time listening to world news broadcasts you might find out that people all over the world hear different things and have completely different opinions... There was some incident at a school some years ago. Many people died. It was in a Russian state and perpetrated by a group of murders who had committed a bombing atrocity at a theater in Moscow. After several days of barricading themselves in the school and murdering and torturing many hostages, the Russian army attempted a rescue....not to take revenge on these people but to save the hostages. It went very badly and little of it was in control of the rescuers. The terrorists had wired the place to blow sky high. What news did we hear? Russian army storms school to stop terrorists. 385 civilian school children and parents die in explosions and fire..
Do you suppose maybe the American media played this tune to fit the day..
Perhaps the British world service radio might have given you a better perspective.
I do not excuse the, their wars any more than they excuse us ours.
Please try to learn to have an open mind. Most people in this world are doing the same thing you are. Showing up for work each day and doing the best job they can.

I am still at a complete loss as to why we think the hacking influenced our election. Those that released the information stated that what the released did not come from the Russians. Therefore, what influenced our election was the things that were being done.

So, if truth influenced our election is that not a good thing. Or would one prefer to hide the truth to get a different result?

I suspect we hack the Russian communications, and I suspect others beside the Russians hack ours.

PO3 Sheryl Hunter - I find it interesting that the person who leaked said he did not get info from the Russians, but, people refuse to believe him.

Just maybe the other side wasn't playing foul to eliminate candidates that were giving them trouble.

Are you seriously trying to say that the content of the information did not influence the election?

What I have been saying is that the thing that influenced the election was the damning things contained in whatever was hacked. What I see is people blaming the hack rather than the wrong doings. It is as if I committed a robbery of a bank and was caught only because someone leaking e-mails in which I bragged about it. But, I blamed to leak rather than my act of robbery.

No lets talk hypocrisy. Was it okay for us to try to interfere and influence the Israeli election, but bad than someone exposed the truth in ours? And why did it not become a problem until looking for an excuse for losing an election?
