Have you ever drinken a glass of rhinoceros blood? Of course you haven't- I was just being colloquial to start the story off on an anecdote. The first time I had the drink was in South Africa. I was celebrating with friends in Johannesburg after completing a successful hunt. You see, in South Africa they don't hunt lions, or elephants. They hunt a far more elusive game: the kaffir, or black man. I had finally cornered a 7 year old inside an Oingo Boingo merchandise warehouse when the thoughts passed through my mind. Should I pull the trigger? Could I ever go back to the man I once was if I did? I pulled the trigger. Made my first 100 mil. Supra, this is something you need to ask yourself: can I pull the trigger on this thread? Would I be making the choice that best benefits me?

It does kinda seem like Obama didn't do shit in order to get his precious little Iran deal underway and get Russia on board with it.
Gee so wait, he ignored shady shit from Russia in order to preserve relations with them in order to accomplish his goals? Whaaaaat?
I agree. Obama was commander-in-chief and technically ALL of this went down on his watch. He was cowardly and toothless in his response to Russia.
I genuinely think that people have forgotten what Russians are like in the West. Or how dangerous the Asian countries can get. Their mentality is completely different.
When dealing with Russians, the POTUS needs to be firm, decisive, and no f*cking around. They need to know that if it comes down to it, that the U.S. would wipe the entire continent of Asia out of existence in Nuclear fire even if it takes NA down too. Putin isn't just another goddamn politician. He's a soldier. He responds to strength.
I think having military experience might be a decent mandatory pre-requisite for the POTUS. They seem to have no concept as to how other parts of the world work. Some of these guys got to power and STAY in power through goddamn Mortal Kombat. This isn't a joke. You do NOT want Russia/China to be the dominant world superpower. We would all be slaves.
When was the last time the West had a decisive leader who wasn't a weak career politician from decades of campaigning? It should be a weekly routine to have the POTUS get into the ring with a SS agent and spar. Mandatory. Part of his mandate.
Honestly though, just looking at the Russians actual attempts to influence the election...it is pure comedy.
They had a bernie sanders coloring book and created a video game and had facebook ads and spent nowhere near as much money. It was low level trolling lol. This doesn't mean Russia isn't dangerous in other areas, but...I think the worry over our elections is overblown. We are hit with far far more propaganda from our own media.
I think Russia is super dangerous. I think the only reason we aren't taking them serious atm is because of the utter collapse and disarray of the USSR but being complacent is dangerous.
History is filled with warnings of this. Our media might have propaganda, but it's OUR media. That is the point. The West really has lost its sense of unity. A country is at its strongest when it's US vs. THEM. If this type of mentality existed during the Cold War era, we'd be passing notes in a gulag right now.
The left and the right need to stop thinking of their countrymen as enemies. You have plenty out there. So much energy tied up into stupidity.
These aren't the type of ideologies you f*ck around with. They come back and hit hard. It could take 50 years, but it could happen.

I don't buy into the notion that our media has more of a right to lie and propagandize to us than anyone else. Russia is dangerous, but not when it comes to elections.
This country is divided and the reason is the media. Their propaganda made it so a lot of people who got a tax cut...do not think they got one. A guy from Vox legit bragged about fooling people over this. That is so utterly harmful I can't give two shits about Russia's meddling when shit like that is going down.
Getting a tax cut could maybe lean someone towards voting for the candidate who made it possible. How is deceiving us on that...not election meddling?
