2016 election blame via hacking

Post by Pigeon » Fri Dec 30, 2016 1:41 pm

The total of this "hacked the election" seems to be:

Russia may or may not have been behind or helped with the gathering of the Podesta emails which by virtue of their release on Wikileaks influenced the minds of some voters in the 2016 US elections.

Any other actual government computer intrusions by Russia do not have an actual bearing on the election.

It is being used as an excuse to confront Russia over difference of opinion in world politics and armed conflicts. Nothing new other than the event. It gives peace of mind to some US citizens for the ramping up of conflict between the US and Russia.

And what do the Allies think. Strangely quiet.
