Australia has shown huge balls to stand up to China, which is commendable. They are going toe-to-toe with the Communist thugs in a way that America has yet wouldn't dream of.
It's effective. And we know, because of the shrill screams of 'WAAAAYCISSS' coming out of CCP mouthpieces like the Global Times. The grubby mainlanders always play the race card when they're losing:-D
The US benefits from low oil prices; cheap oil hurts the enemies of the West. Putinist Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela badly, because these countries' governments need high oil prices to buy off their populations.
If anybody would benefit from chaos in Venezuela, it's the Maduro regime in order to consolidate this death grip on the country, or perhaps Vladimir Putin, who needs lots of money to continue spreading his evil and chaos around the world.
The US loves cheap oil for transport. Its domestic shale industry is technologically advanced, and improving daily. The Saudis tried an oil-price cunt act to try and strangle US tight oil/shale ; they only ended up getting stronger, effectively capping the price of oil forever.
Continuous campaigning is a thing these days; Trump himself is too stupid and lazy to think of doing that himself -- he's just riding on the fact that the GOP is just incredibly good at winning elections.
What makes my black heart glow, is knowing these fucking pricks, and everybody working for them, will be grounded for life, or looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives. Half the world extradites to the United States, and fake identities won't save them.
This is what gets me. At the time, the FBI was Trumper central, and they were anti-Clinton. Clinton's entitled behavior wrt that mail server upset many people in the FBI. Quite a few people down there thought that Trump was the least-worst option (not that they would allow their politics to affect their professional judgement).
The idiocy of the Stupid Party's claim that the FBI were out to get Trump, is self-evident.
You get your "facts" from Zero Hedge. That speaks for itself.
I read that bilge to stay abreast of Putin's lies du jour. I read it, knowing that ZH is a Russian information warfare operation, and partly for masochistic entertainment value. Certainly not to stay informed.
Au contraire. It's a slam-dunk, and the individuals in question are burned as far as the GRU are concerned. They'll never be able to set foot outside Russia ever again.
The indictment is massive, and incredibly detailed. All the Russians making bad-faith demands for "evidence" can shut up now.
Sure, because the Chinese made off with a bunch of personnel records (and who knows? Maybe Russia was in on it?), then this means that because of Russia's bullshit demands for "equality" and "fairness", we have to let ourselves get bent over, to indulge their pathetic demands to be seen as "equals" of the mighty United States.
Julian Assange is a very pretty boy, and won't do well in general population. He'll probably end up with the kiddie fiddlers for his own safety.
It wouldn't surprise me at all, if the GRU or SVR had Seth Rich murdered ('mugging gone wrong'), as part of a cack-handed plan to construct an alibi for themselves. It fits with the motive -- Putin's extreme animus against the Democrats, and they certainly aren't shy about murdering people. The Russians certainly are quite fond of killing multiple birds with one stone when running their active measures.
Criminals always think they're too smart to get caught.
Doesn't surprise me that the Russian mafia-Chekist nexus thought that there were oh-so-clever, using Bitcoin, thinking that FinCEN couldn't follow the money. Unfortunately for them, the blockchain is a permanent, secure record of every transaction ever made. Whoops.
Right. Spear-phishing and whaling, backed by extremely well-resourced nation-state level intelligence services, expertly searching for human vulnerabilities to exploit.
The evidence presented today is massive, incredibly detailed and irrefutable.
This increasingly-shopworn piece of Russia-shill stupidity -- the bad-faith demands for "evidence" -- needs to die.
And the shills themselves should be looking over their shoulders. Today has proven that Western intelligence knows EXACTLY who the shills and spies are, in EXTRAORDINARY detail. If you lot know what's good for you, you'll get off the internet and find a more honest line of work. Being grounded in Russia for the rest of your miserable lives will be bad enough -- life can get much worse. I understand that American jails are not nice places. Why tempt fate?
Hahaha! I see what you did there Ivan!! Get Trump to demand 4% of GDP, and then slyly turn around and claim America is "extorting" Europe. How very sneaky and _Russian_ of you...
Surprise!
It didn't work.
WOWW!!! This shill-troll post has it all: brandishing nuclear weapons (because Putin is totally economically incompetent, they can't even afford upkeep on their nukes), projection (and this troll is projecting like a fucking IMAX), accusation of corruption (even through Russia is rated as one of the most corrupt countries on Earth alongside places like Somalia and Afghanistan, "US military industrial complex" (to rile up lefties), tax bullshit (to rile up the Righties), and calling NATO an "occupation force" and conflating it with nationhood (whereas in fact it's a mutual defence treaty and nothing else). Bravo *slow clap*
Nobody has been deceived. Nobody is fooled. Nice try, but NO CIGAR FOR YOU, Ivan!
For those of you browsing casually, the above post is a neat summary of popular talking points that paid Russia shills like to post across the internet. The specifics on their dictated daily talking point bulletin ('temka') change on a day-to-day basis, but the above, in broad strokes, hews to the Russian "narrative".
Russia has made up this huge, mostly fictional bullshit story, where every time the violently corrupt authoritarian regime in Moscow does something corrupt, violent, or illegal, Russia is the victim, being "attacked" and "humiliated" by its victims.
Everyone LOVES indulging their bullshit sense of victimhood. Especially Russians.
Well, you shouldn't start shit if it risks getting nuked, should you?
Typical Russian peasant scumbag mentality. Being a stupid-arsed peasant degenerate, you can't create anything of beauty of value, so you have to define and destroy everyone else. History will judge your kind poorly.
Yep, these sneaky barbarians do think they're so awfully clever... well, anybody can write a script, but it takes a special kind of sickness, moral disease and depravity to pull that Russia pulled on the free world in 2016.
We know that Russia did far, far worse than has been made public, and that when the truth is revealed, Trump and his enablers will be tarred and feathered and run out of town. When the truth is out, all the free people of the West will be baying for Russian blood. And they'll get it.

Shit-for-brains, Trump-feltching Russophiles.
Their skins are as gossamer-thin as their orange messiah's.

Yeah whatever, Russofascist.
So you get to decide that because America did something bad once, we forfeit all right to criticise Russia's evil, murderous and fascist behaviour??
When does the statute of limitations expire then?
Actually, don't answer that -- that was a rhetorical question.
Just go and fuck yourself up your yellow Tatar arse.
Yep. Because everyone spies. But the Americans are 100% friends to the hilt, and the Chinese are competitors, if not adversaries.
It's highly disingenuous to equate authoritarian kleptocracies like Russia and China with civilised Western countries. Don't do it.
Sure. After all, authoritarian kleptocracies like Russia and China are completely morally equivalent to the Western countries. Totally.
Sounds like Russia.
NO EVIDENCE! Ree reee reeee!!
Poor analysis.

Don't confuse intelligence and wisdom, with low animal cunning.
If Putin were intelligent and wise, we wouldn't be in this situation.

Sorry -- but no.

No, nothing to see here at all.
Compared to Watergate, this is running at light speed.

Nobody's forgotten that Russia introduced the world to "punitive psychiatry".
So excuse me if I tell you to go and fuck yourself.

The truth is far, far worse.
Don't worry Russia shills, keep digging that hole. Get plenty of practice, because soon, you'll be digging your own graves. Poka!
People forgot what vile, sneaky, barbaric cunts the Russians are. Big mistake. We won't be forgetting again in a hurry.
