  1. *****​​ The CIA are not the only agency levelling the accusation based upon CLASSIFIED evidence. British and German intelligence has been levelling such claims well before the CIA. Twitter and Facebook have had fake posters being traced to the same location in St Petersburg, by civilian independent journalists with published evidence. The media is so distracted by Trump they can't present all the evidence together. There is plenty of evidence to support Putin's interference in both the US election and Brexit referendum. Do not make the mistake of believing this is all a neo-con conspiracy theory!

  3. ***** Nobody is saying election riggers within the US should get away with anything. Primary rigging and systematic foreign interference are two different subjects and are not related. Bernie was being asked on his views of the latter, not the former.

  4. *****​ So why don't you check what European intelligence authorities say, if you don't believe US ones? Again, this is old news to Brits and Germans who have been dealing with foreign political interference for longer.

  6. Bernie believes Putin's intervention. It's not politics. Remember in the Democratic debates, that he asserted Putin was the greatest foreign security threat, more so than ISIS even. Finally, the evidence cannot be made fully public, as the intelligence sources and technology can be compromised, preventing future intelligence from being gained. Look at what is going on in Europe and read European intelligence information. Common consensus is Putin is supporting (through funding, hacking, kompromat, etc) all left and right wing parties, pulling countries and their own populations further apart. It's divide and conquer strategy. Putin wants to make Russia strong, but the only way for him to do that and maintain his own self interests with Russia's weak state-controlled economy is to destabilise and weaken everyone else. A lot of your points are way skewed because of your lack of recognition of these three points.

  7. *****​​ Has anyone watched the town hall video, which the HR video and all these comments are based on? In this case, the presenter has screwed up. He's leading you all down the garden path by connecting two unrelated matters which are BOTH very important. Please watch the video again, paying attention to the question Bernie Sanders was asked and the answer he gave. Both were related to Trump not Hillary Clinton.

  8. ***** Why does the cyber attack need to be sophisticated to link Russian government. If the security you are trying to penetrate is weak, then why does the hack have to be advanced?

  9. PARENTS ARE LIARS Well who are you referring to? Apart from routine small scale deployments in Baltic States, the only new measure is sending tanks to Poland, which is actually a response to Russian troop exercises neat Baltic borders. Sabre rattling started from Kremlin. FACT.

  10. Adrian Engler​ Good point wrt Kaliningrad, however I think everyone is referring to the 'main' border. NATO troops deployed to Baltic States occurred after Crimea invasion, as requested by the Baltic states.

  11. Marc Pall​​ FFS wake up! Plenty of European governments independently reached the conclusion Putin is trying to destabilise the western world. Where did many of the fake news stories come from in the US election? Answer: St Petersburg. Fake Twitter and Facebook identities were used to cloud the information space, just like in Ukraine. This strategy is outlined in the Kremlin's hybrid warfare strategy, which has already been leaked. It got so bad in the Ukraine, that independent journalists had to setup a website called "FakeNews" which essentially fact checked most of the news articles published through Kremlin controlled media. Join the dots in the wider world, and the picture becomes clear, rather than running with biases. Have you seen the polls asking how people get their news? 50% of US citizens get their news, that informs their political choices, from sites such as Facebook. Given the small margins Trump won by in key states, yes, they did effect the election result. Why are people still ranting about Clinton and Obama in these posts?! China hack corporate world to gain economic advantages, but they do not hack to effect politics, yet ...

  12. ***** Thanks for finding that news article. Hopefully people will start doing their own research and be open to believing something other than US government conspiracy theories!
