[srifenbyxp]

I thought xcom 2 was released in 15'. That was actually bretty fun.

I would lewd a viper, so hard

Also lock down the 2k16 thread. ITS NOT CURRENT YEAR - LOCK IT DOWN. LOCK IT ALL DOWN!

[imblyings]

>>millions of Americans fell for Russian propaganda, are in deeper denial than Russia itself

>the actual irony of it all being america influencing elections and governments around the world for decades and finally tasting some of it's own medicine, only for obama to lash out like a child about it

hehe

Obama and his master Shitlerry are just trying to cause as much diplomatic damage as they can before trump takes the reigns in a petty attempt to derail the global peace.

You're joking.
Right?
You don't seriously believe this kind of bullshit.

[Cik]

what other purpose does this thrashing about actually achieve

please elucidate the situation as you see it, lizardman

[DemonFiren]

Trying to save the face of an entire nation, nevermind that that's impossible because that same nation elected Trump.

[Cik]

how does spastically ejecting diplomats of a nuclear power, calling something that's questionable at best "an act of war" and then threatening sanctions "saving face"?

i guess i'll ask:

do you believe that the russians hacked the election? if so:

how was this accomplished? through what methods? releasing true information?
what about wikileaks saying it was an internal source and not russians? are they lying?
do you trust the CIA when it makes statements? if so, why?
do you believe that hillary & co are actually angels, if so, why? is everything released about her actually some sort of russian fabrication? have the russians taken over wikileaks somehow?
do you think that stating with little evidence that other nuclear-armed powers are engaged in acts of war against you is a bad idea? why or why not?
do you think that the soviet union fell? why or why not? are we still in a state of undeclared war with them?

>americans in high places and high responsibilities fall for phishing emails
>US government releases explanation which essentially says "please stop being retarded online" and straight out mentions common sense not being so common

Imagine admins here being corrupt, then accidentally letting a singulo poster steal and release logs of admins being badmins, and then admins crying about how singulo is ruining tg to try and save face. The problem to be solved first isn't the face part.

[Super Aggro Crag]

Besides, even if le russkies were "the root of all evil we must restart the cold war" I'd rather be unwitting servants of them than the Saudi scum because Russia has ushanka and vodka, which are superior to turban and shitty tea.

It usually takes something like an alien invasion or wacky kraut genocide to get America and Russia to team up. People are so fucking sick of Arabs that they're pushing for X-com to form. Grab your laser rifles, tovarisch!

[DemonFiren]

>preferring vodka over tea
See, this is why I hope you're memeing.
Now let me put on my lecturing kaftan real quick.

[calzilla1]

I say we nuke Isreal until we can officially call it isn't-real

[XSI]

Why not, get this

Put a bit of vodka in the tea and have a better drink?

[oranges]

This is the year of the linux desktop

[Wyzack]

Seriously though, how in the everloving shit is "Russia hacked us and exposed all the horrible stuff we did/are doing lynch he" somehow more of an issue than the emails that they leaked? Is this real life?

[TheColdTurtle]

Russia is an easy target for Americans to hate, with the cold war and whatever. Besides it's not like we can just bomb them right ha ha

[Malkevin]

Why not, get this

Put a bit of vodka in the tea and have a better drink?

Damn you beat me too it.

I do wonder what tea and vodka tastes like, and would hot tea or iced tea work better?

[DemonFiren]

Iced tea, unless you want grogski.

Geez oh man, the KGB hack both the DNC and RNC servers, only leak the dirt on the DNC, and tuck the dirt belonging to the Republicans away in ol' Pooty's blackmail folder. Now, we all know that Republicans are just as dirty, if not more, than Democrats. So, the DNC emails are leaked by a foreign country to expose corruption in only one half of America's political system. While, the Republicans, who have been ranting about peace with Russia, avoiding WW3, and cracking down on China are left alone.

Do you honestly think Putin did that out of the goodness of his heart?
Followed by Putin congratulating a Presidential victory, for the first time ever.
Followed by Putin's offers to rekindle relationships with the US. For the first time ever.
Followed by the FBI, CIA, and Homeland security announcing heavy Russian interference.

NOPE.
N O T F U C K I N G C O N C E R N I N G A T A L L

[D&B]

Is there any proof Guccifer 2.0 was backed by the Russian government though?

AFAIK he was another "truth" hacker like anonymous was.

[XSI]

>heavy Russian interference

Idiots fell for a phishing scam that happened to come from Russia (The country, no confirmed links to government)
And a disgruntled DNC staffer leaked to wikileaks, he was not russian but the leaks were declared RUSSIAN EVIL SPIES too
During all this, established media made themselves look like fools and Russia Today of all things looked attractive and unbiased to many

Have you actually seen the pdf on how to prevent 'hacking' in the future? It's literally just the inteligence services saying "Please don't put your password into unknown and unsecured websites", because politicians don't know how to internet and actually do this

You can blame Russia for it, but it's more along the lines of self-afflicted idiocy that Russia happened to take advantage of.

russia took advantage of it by standing there and cheering for something going their way for once

if it was the russians, where is the proof

give proof suka

[D&B]

The only Russian thing in the mail's was the fact that Guccifer, again, was Russian, but I'm sure the rudkies arrested him after he went public.

And for all intents and purposes he clearly wasn't government sponsored

not that they've actually released

Guccifer is not the one who hacked the DNC, he was already in prison at that point (though his prior hacks of high profile email accounts are what exposed the existence of Clinton's private server in the first place).

Guccifer 2.0 is the one who hacked the DNC, and there is some circumstantial evidence that suggests he's Russian rather than Romanian (for example http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/06 ... ints-on-it and http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/ ... -documents). Crowdstrike thinks Gufficer 2.0 was a front for a hacking group called Fancy Bear.

Attributing hacks is tough though, and the evidence is murky enough that people are just going to believe whatever supports their team at this point.

Self-afflicted idiocy or not, I want every country held accountable that interferes with our election by taking advantage of weaknesses in our system.


In other news, that stock market bubble is looking pretty bad. That, put together with Brexit, is going to send the global economy pretty far down the shitter (again).
With taxes being lowered to 15%, and all of those Wall Street execs in Trump's cabinet, whatever is coming will probably be worse than the 2008 recession. A lot worse.

Obamacare is on the chopping block, and Trump's replacement isn't that very different, if at all. So, if congress hates Obamacare so much, when Trump puts his healthcare reforms forward, they'll (hopefully) blatantly ignore that its exactly the same as Obamacare and pass it. Then, hopefully millions of people won't lose healthcare.

Speaking of healthcare, lets all hope that Trump doesn't touch vaccines. If he does pass any sort of legislation to lower the doses to stop the "vaccine autism epidemic", they just straight up won't work. Since the doses are too small, your immune system will pretty much ignore it. Making vaccines worthless. Then again, I'm hoping he preached all of that vaccine shit just to pander. Whoopsie, I forgot, only Hillary pandered.
:^)

I don't even want to talk about climate change, that shits depressing.

MY POINT IS, NO MATTER HOW YOU SPIN THIS, VOTERS JUST FUCKED EVERYTHING ON A GLOBAL SCALE.

And before you bring up Hillary, I'd like to quote Ricotez.

"A leaky faucet is better than a flooded kitchen after the plumber royally fucked up."

[onleavedontatme]

Honestly the idea that the rest of the world would sit idly by while Americans determined their fates for the next 4 years is ridiculously naive, Putin would have to a moron to avoid trying to influence or undermine his global rival with so little risk and so much potential gain.

But in the end

Imagine admins here being corrupt, then accidentally letting a singulo poster steal and release logs of admins being badmins, and then admins crying about how singulo is ruining tg to try and save face. The problem to be solved first isn't the face part.

[Cik]

mister spirit cooking himself fell for a nigerian phishing scam, i mean how fucking dumb do you have to be

[Screemonster]

implying that the yanks haven't been interfering with elections and installing "democratic" governments all over the world for decades now

[Screemonster]

Also lock down the 2k16 thread. ITS NOT CURRENT YEAR - LOCK IT DOWN. LOCK IT ALL DOWN!

Anonmare did just that and said SHUT IT DOWN without including this clip which is a fucking travesty

[Anonmare]

[XSI]

In the end, the one thing everyone can agree on

Fuck politicians, they'll always do what you don't want them to do anyway. I know a whole lot of Trump supporters who wanted Trump for anti-globalism and anti-corruption, and of course
The guy makes wall street his cabinet and doesn't seem to care about the whole anti-globalism thing anymore.

[MrAlphonzo]

Imagine its the headmin election, and both of the lead headmin candidates have evidence of badminerry yet to be released to the public. You get your hands on all of that data. Now, you want ERP unbanned. It would benefit you greatly. One of the headmin candidates shares this view, the other doesn't. You release the information on the opposing candidate, leading to them falling in the polls. Your candidate comes out victorious. You now have a headmin that shares your views, and a folder with evidence of their badminnery to blackmail them with, if the need ever arises.

While you're fucking a lizard in a bolted dorm, the voters are too busy in-fighting to hold you accountable for messing with the election.

Politicians are pretty shit, yeah.
But what did they expect, voting in a TV celebrity?
They thought he'd be any better?
After the last TV celeb they voted in, Reagan?

Alphonzo how can you ignore everything saying that it was not the Russian government?

[MrAlphonzo]

I didn't even say who did it in that hypothetical scenario. Whoever breached the DNC, Russia or not, most likely got into the RNC servers as well (Which are known to have also been compromised). So, WHOEVER did it, didn't leak ALL of it.

And how are you ignoring everything thats saying Russia did do it?

Is the Executive Branch just having a tantrum for no apparent reason?

Most of them just really hoped he'd do better than Hillary
Which, granted, isn't a very high standard to hold him to. At least they hoped he wouldn't be actively fucking things up.

Also, Wikileaks has stated several times now that it wasn't Russia leaking it. But of course they are ignored by everyone.
Maybe Russia has blackmail information. Maybe not. But we do know that they are not the one leaking this stuff.

[imblyings]

>Imagine its the headmin election, and bo-

I will help you instead of arguing

The correct way to go about this is

>gee willickers this corruption has sure made me concerned, we should lobby the government and force them to pass stringent laws and systems that prevent corruption in the first place!
>aw hell maybe we should cut down on our meddling with governments from other countries, it sure doesn't feel nice to be meddled with ha!
>well it's a shame our officials were dumb enough to fall for something even high-schoolers recognize! maybe they should go through yearly internet security retraining to address any potential issues!

not

>who really cares if the DNC and clinton were laughably corrupt and evil, even if they were, those darn republicans and drumpfkins must be just as evil!
>it was really evil of russia to interfere with our elections but please don't mind the tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of lives lost due to the US meddling with elections and governments elsewhere
>[if we don't mention it then they won't realize the hacking was just our officials being dumb enough to fall for a phishing scam]
