I'm not sure what their end game is.
_If helping Candidate Trump was their goal, it appears to have bitten them on the ass. I don't think that they will list President Trump as one of their best friends ever to hold the office.
_If weakening NATO was their goal, it appears to have bitten them on the ass. Since it appears that our NATO allies may actually pony up more of their budget to self-defense
_If shaking our faith in our government process was their goal, they seriously underestimated our cynicism. Americans have always been deeply distrustful of government.
_If weakening our faith in our institutions was their goal, they seriously underestimated our cynicism, Americans have always bitched about our institutions.
Anybody else got any ideas what they hope to gain?

SrA John Monette - So you think President Trump is a Russian puppet? Can you point to actions where he has put the Russian people ahead of the American people, or are you just engaging sardonic hyperbole?

I think he is the biggest puppet Putin has. he constantly discounts any report of Russian interference in our elections.

SrA John Monette - Words... what has President Trump other than words, that has weakened us relative to Russia?
Has he removed missile defense system from Poland and the Czech Republic, without a single concession?
Did he tell Prime Minister Medvedev that he would be more flexible AFTER the election. In essence saying he had to hide his true intent to get elected.
Did he allow Russia to annex Ukrainian territory in with such pathetically weak US response that Russia took a second bite at the apple?
I invite you to look at the national Security Policy of 2017
Plus President Trump shut down the Russian Consulate in San Francisco and declared the diplomats persona non gratis
President Trump has not rolled back a single sanction against Russia and has enacted more.
President Trump requested and got a 40% increase in the European Reassurance Initiative to strengthen the defensive posture of allies bordering Russia and increased both the number of US forces in Europe, and received the blessing to permanently station US troops and to conduct joint training exercises with nation's that declined to do so in the past.

Don’t rehabilitate Obama on Russia
We should not slip into collective amnesia over the Obama administration’s weak and underwhelming response to Russian aggression.

SrA John Monette - In Trump's defense, it seems a lot of the "Intelligence" briefings that Obama received were wrong. Everything from the status of ISIS, to planned attacks in the USA, Paris, and other areas. The Intelligence briefing Trump received about the Dossier must have appeared that he was being investigated as a candidate by USA Intelligence. The fact that for over a year there were Intelligence leaks every day, seemed like they were working against his admin. I wouldn't trust them either. As for Russian interference in the election. He has said there was Russian hacking. He continues to say there was no collusion between his campaign an Russia..

So the story seems to indicate that the discovery of the murderer of a young woman and subsequently her body on Tuesday, is of less importance than Michael Cohen's court case, which was announced the same day. Naturally it had to be the Russians who conspired to make this National news because the murder of a woman by an illegal immigrant just isn't news (Kathryn Steinle) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mollie-tibbetts-cause-of-death-iowa-student-died-of-multiple-sharp-force-injuries-autopsy-finds/
Mollie Tibbetts died from "multiple sharp force injuries," autopsy finds
The Iowa State Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy and concluded the Iowa student's manner of death to be homicide

These People are scum in my view and will get their paybacks. I pray for soul and her family especially her Parents because they've to face the fact that they'll never see their Daughter again for the rest of their lives because someone POS took her life. Don't care about the spinning of the Illegal Immigrant situation....just trying to promote fear in USA. America just lost another beautiful young soul and my heart goes out to her family! Let them grieve in Peace!

SMSgt (Join to see) - While I do understand that there are many who do not want to hear about an immigration status, the facts are clear that if he was not in the USA, this murder would not have occurred. The below story is another recent example of senseless murders. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/06/22/ms-13-gang-members-including-10-illegal-immigrants-charged-in-deaths-virginia-teens.html
MS-13 gang members, including 10 illegal immigrants, charged in deaths of Virginia teens
Eleven MS-13 gang members – all of whom are illegal immigrants except one – are now facing life sentences after being charged in the kidnappings and deaths of two teens whose bodies were dug up last year in a Virginia park.

Their Presentations on RT, Sputnik News and Various Other Platforms is Impressive. Now they have the Visuals of Sexy Ladies doing their Presentation.

In the risk, cyber, and information security world, it’s also called spreading FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). Good way to evoke a response from those less in the know.
