Another liberal source. Man do you read anything non liberal?

Just don't buy the nonsense. The media tries to make t as if Trump will cooperate with Russia and Putin when there s really no evidence. Trump has yet to say that he would cancel the sanctions against Russia or that he would cooperate with Russia on Syria. Ask Trump and he says that he would work with the Rich Arab countries to solve the Syrian crisis. And by Rich arab countries, he means Saudi and Qatar who have been trying to undermine Russia in Syria.

You also look at his close relationship he has with Israel whose only job is to help the rebels fighting against Russia and Syria and bombing Syrians military post to understand the delusion that says Trump is pro Putin.

Experts on PBS said Russia has been hacking US systems for over two decades but this is the first time they shared the leaked info with American public.. apparently the second part is not accaeptabe for US and something has to be done now.

Incredible, the anger is not at the hacking that has been going on for two decades but why they leaked the DNC insiders election rigging for SWC Hillary to the US public.

So much for Transparency that highy honest DGP team had promised early on.


But all this based on speculation so far as they don't have clear evidence China, Russia, insiders or who else actually did it.

I don't need facts

But then again you don't care about facts.

 

[silverhandorder]

You are so sad. No wonder you find your self on the same side as leftists.

I had three or four people jump on my comment like bats out of hell. Yet no one bothered to also link my clarification.

So seems that you don't bother with facts. I am glad that I can expose cuckservatives.

 

[The Rebel Poet]

It is true that one does not need to argue the facts

So seems that you don't bother with facts.

Oh and I linked your "clarification" this time.

 

[silverhandorder]

Haha yup you are sad.

Donald Trump and Russia: a web that grows more tangled all the time

Frank Mermoud, a key figure at the recent Republican convention, has strong business ties with Ukraine, to which others in Trump’s orbit have been linked as questions grow over the candidate’s interests in Russia and view of its president



A key figure at the Republican national convention where Donald Trump was nominated for president has strong business ties with Ukraine, the Guardian has learned.

The party platform, written at the convention in Cleveland last week, removed references to arming Ukraine in its fight against pro-Russia rebels, who have received material support from the Kremlin. Trump’s links to Russia are under scrutiny after a hack of Democratic national committee emails, allegedly by Russian agents.

The coordinator of the Washington diplomatic corps for the Republicans in Cleveland was Frank Mermoud, a former state department official involved in business ventures in Ukraine via Cub Energy, a Black Sea-focused oil and gas company of which he is a director. He is also on the board of the US Ukraine Business Council.

Mermoud has longstanding ties to Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who in 2010 helped pro-Russia Viktor Yanukovych refashion his image and win a presidential election in Ukraine. Manafort was brought in earlier this year to oversee the convention operations and its staffing.

Three sources at the convention also told the Guardian that they saw Philip Griffin, a long-time aide to Manafort in Kiev, working with the foreign dignitaries programme.

“After years of working in the Ukraine for Paul and others, it was surprising to run into Phil working at the convention,” one said.

The change to the platform on arming Ukraine was condemned even by some Republicans. Senator Rob Portman of Ohio described it as “deeply troubling”. Veteran party operative and lobbyist Charlie Black said the “new position in the platform doesn’t have much support from Republicans”, adding that the change “was unusual”.

[milgram]

These threads are really getting pathetic. Copy and paste an article about "ties to" and "links to" something spooooky. Conveniently ignore the fact that Mermoud also has "links to" essentially every major GOP candidate in recent history -- Ford, Reagan, Dole, Bush, McCain, etc. He worked for all of them. Why should we be afraid of him now?

Yea and Hilary let Russia buy 20% of America's uranium mines.

Trump is so pro Putin and Russia that when the media and the feds made an unfounded accusation that Russia was behind the DNC hacking, he doesn't even ask for proof that the Russia govt was involved in any hacking, he instead ran with the accusation and asked the Russians (read Russian govt) to do more hacking. Read my lips, Trump is NOT pro Russia/Putin, he sometimes pays lip service to it but his actions show that he isn't serious at all.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and the Polls

You have to go back 40 years to find a presidential candidate saying something quite as loony about Russia as the many things Donald Trump said in his press conference Wednesday. I’m thinking of Gerald Ford’s famous claim—toward the end of a debate with Jimmy Carter in October 1976—that there was “no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe.” President Ford, not known for oratorical skill, apparently meant to say that Moscow’s control over its neighbors was not legitimate. No matter: The pundits, the politicians, and the public held his gaffe against him anyway. Some even thought it cost him the election. At the height of the Cold War—and with Henry Kissinger’s détente policy a hot campaign issue—it did not pay to seem unaware of Soviet imperialism.

But what about today? If Mr. Trump’s advisers wanted to find some solace in the polls, could they? The Cold War, after all, is a quarter-century in the past, and some people—the Republican nominee included, it seems—think the U.S. should take a more relaxed view of Russia. Does the public agree?

The bad news for the Trump campaign is that the American people have become increasingly hostile toward Russia since the Ukraine crisis became acute in early 2014. Consider the responses over time to Pew Research Center questions about Russia. In the fall of 2013, 40% of respondents described Russia as “not much of a problem.” By March 2014 (just days after Vladimir Putin annexed Crimea) that share had fallen to 22%. By the summer (right after MH17, a Malaysian Airlines flight, was shot down over separatist-held territory), only 15% felt that Russia was not much of a problem.

Even before the Ukraine crisis, of course, many Americans were on guard when it came to President Putin. Still, the 36% who described Russia as a “serious problem but not an adversary” in the fall of 2013 had expanded to 49% in the summer of 2014. And the 18% who had seen Moscow as a clear “adversary” even in 2013 had grown to 26% the following summer. The American public, in other words, was now wary-to-hostile toward Russia by a margin of 75% to 15%—a five-fold difference.

These numbers have softened in the past two years, but they don’t provide much comfort for the Trump campaign. Some Trump advisers may seek refuge in the thought that their candidate has made preposterous and uninformed comments in the past and paid no price for it. But in key states Mr. Trump has to win—Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin—outrage at his remarks among voters with Eastern European roots will be greater still.

If Jerry Ford, remembering 1976, were sitting down with Donald Trump, his verdict would be very, very grim.
