Putin Claims Russia Proposed a Cyber War Treaty In 2015 But the Obama Admin Ignored Them (qz.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Russian president Vladimir Putin (who denies any Russian part in the hacking) claims the Obama administration ignored a proposal in 2015 that might have avoided all of this. His administration suggested working out a cyber treaty with the US but was ignored by Obama officials, Putin told film director Oliver Stone in Showtime's four-part series broadcast this week. "A year and a half ago, in fall 2015, we made proposal to our American partners that we work through these issues and conclude a treaty on the rules of behavior in this sphere," he said in Stone's documentary The Putin Interviews. "The American side was silent, they didn't reply to us."

    Hillary did work with the russians, so did numerous members of the DNC, many even took direct payments from organizations or companies with direct ties to the russian state. She also directly obstructed justice(destruction of devices, deletion of emails), the previous administration directly obstructed justice by Comey's own testimony(Lynch asking him to call it a "matter." The infamous document talk in her office, where she told him to leave--when he had info on Clinton and the Clinton foundation getting direct payments from foreign nationals). And incase you missed it, the left are trying to burn the country down. Or have you missed all the deranged lefties over the last 8 months doing everything from rioting(in DC, Berkeley, Seattle), violently assaulting to shooting at conservatives and basically anyone to the right of Mao. You can try to pull the "not all..." bullshit, but the left owns this just like the left claimed the right owned firebrand preachers and people shooting abortion doctors.

    he republicans are all talk to appear tough for the public ...

    Someone not paying attention to the senate or house recently. Yep sure looks like it.

    Hillary and Obama did not threaten the start of WW3 as much as they threatened to stop Putin's theft from Russia

    So let's go with that. You wonder why the Russian government seriously believed that if Hillary was elected that there would be a war. Would you perhaps like to claim that the inquisitr is a right-wing publication to save face before you find out that it's a left-wing publication.

    THAT is why Putin was so desperate that he worked to get Trump elected ...

    Yes, he worked so hard that we have no proof that they were involved. Or that the DNC email leaks show the exact opposite of what you're trying to say, like the fact that Hillary was acting as a front in a cash-for-access program using the clinton foundation to the state department. Would you like to now claim ABC News is right-wing? Or perhaps the washington post which also reported on it.

    Remember that part where the previous administration claimed that Russia was behind the DNC leaks, but there's no actual proof because the FBI never had access to actually investigate it. That Comey said that in itself was a "odd occurrence" and in turn there is no positive proof because of that. Remember that part where the founder of wikileaks came out and stated that Russia wasn't the source. The same wikileaks that the left cheered on for leaks under Bush and were quite happy when the information was supporting their side. Shall we continue?
