U.S. government accuses Russia of hacking campaign to influence elections
This is silly. Check out the two major &quot;targets&quot;: Clinton&#x27;s emails and the DNC. Read about how the Clinton server was &quot;secured&quot; (hint: comically). Read about how the DNC has been getting hacked: very simple phishing scams. Everything about the DNC screams shoddy. Why haven&#x27;t the Republicans been hacked? This isn&#x27;t a question about politics, its that the DNC clearly has some operational problems.<p>No, what this really is is an information campaign that both countries are playing against each other. You&#x27;ve got Crimea, Syria, other hotspots. Check out Trump&#x27;s rhetoric: he admires Putin, he clearly doesn&#x27;t want war. Check out Clinton&#x27;s rhetoric: conflict.<p>Donald Trump being a racist Neville Chamberlain should make no one excited, but the neoliberal part of the Democratic party (which is clearly ascendant and has been for some time like the neoconservatives) doesn&#x27;t like getting bullied in retaliation for being a bully.
