    The Russians.
    Who is in charge now that we know what they've done? The Russians. No one, least of all Trump and McConnell, is in charge in the U.S. government.

    You are completely wrong here lanny. The entire intelligence community was on board with it, as well as the media. Sort of like this current conspiracy theory you’ve fully invested your time and emotion into.

    Anyone who thinks Russia opening up naval ports in South America and Central America is progress is an idiot.

    I think you're sensationalizing that piece of history...it was never all inclusive or agreed upon by everyone...but it is sort of your way of investing in your idea of conspiracy eh?

    “The Russians” is not a specific group. Who are you guys referring to? Russian hackers? The Kremlin? Random people with Russian sounding names? And where are the facts to pinpoint a SPECIFIC group?

    I’m having trouble defining the line where the facts end and the conspiracy theory begins.

    Vague terms like “The Russians” shouldn’t be enough for any critically thinking adult.

    That simply isn't true. This was a Cheney show.
    "A year after [the Gulf War], the United States Senate released the Senate Report of Pre-war Intelligence on Iraq which concluded that many of the Bush Administration's pre-war statements about Iraqi WMD were misleading and not supported by the underlying intelligence."

    It's ok to talk about global politics in general terms....we're not investigative lawyers around here. The Russians and Russian backed agents scattered across the region hacked us...still are...some are more than likely pay for play hackers.....all govts subcontract jobs in espionage and always have. If you haven't researched the proof that we've already discovered...then you have no dog in this fight.

    It was the Russian FSB. They've even identified the building where the cyber warfare was being conducted.

    It was totally a conspiracy. Call me what you want, I don’t give a fuck. The million or so dead bodies and the coinciding profit margins of Halliburton are more than enough proof. Certainly more than anything these knuckleheads have turned up out of this anti-Russia hysteria.

    Are you a member of the Trump cult?

    This reminds me very much of what the British said about Germany before WWII....nah, they lost once, they won't try that again! Hitler is just a fad...

    Oh, they admitted it AFTER the war? Good for them. Too bad for the dead Iraqis.

    Did you read the part about the intelligence disagreeing with the assessment?
    In particular, the State Department disagreed the most. And yet Trump refuses to rescind his cuts to the State Department.

    Lock your doors, close the blinds and hide under the bed then. Some of us have lives to live that don’t include boogeymen that may or may not have done some shit and may or may not do some more. Pretty sure the suits in our own government are doing us more harm than some dickhead 10,000 miles away. He’s a good scapegoat though apparently.

    Look, a squirrel?

    Look, a Russian!

    Halliburton has got it handled. My tax dollars said so.

    You pay for them to blow it up, and I’ll pay to fix it. Or vice-versa. Whatever scenario warms your heart.
