If there is one good thing about Putin's meddling, it's that if Clinton wins the presidency, she'll be really motivated to take on cyberwarfare head on.

I'm wondering what the White House has already done in retaliation.  And yeah, I'm pretty sure President Death From Above has no problem pulling that trigger.

What kind of brutal retaliation do you think Pres. Urkel did?

Well it does present quite a dilemma. Russia seeks to undermine the US by undermining the opposition to an incompetent politician. If Obama wants to go tit for tat, he would undermine the opposition to Putin.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

The sanctions he has applied have already wrecked their economy and collapsed the ruble, so it may be tough to distinguish the new harm he is doing from what has been ongoing.

Oh, I'm sure something somewhere got zapped, or is in the process of being zapped.  What, you don't think we do that sort of thing?

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Dunno.  This is kind of your thing, so I had hoped you'd have something interesting to speculate on.

My speculation is that the US will retaliate at a time and place of our choosing, if it hasn't already happened.

We can do this all night if you want.

By doing what?
