Does anyone know what may be going through Putin's head?
He has had a very clear and very obvious agenda, that which has been to diminish America’s influence in the world and belittle her leaders.
The shocking thing (at least to me), is how often you will actually see Americans praise and support Vladimir Putin in light of this.

The hypocrisy on display here is hilarious. You have no problem with innocent Americans being blown up in their own homes, yet you whine if armed Nazis might potentially be shot.
Yes, it is.
Congrats at dodging making a cohesive argument yet again.
You did it for me.
Yes, I made a cohesive argument. No, you did not. But I guess that can only be expected from someone who supports the murder of innocent Americans on the basis of their religion.
Again you perpetuate a lie based on what you think I said. I think what you said deserves the same treatment. But what would you expect from the thought police.

You have doubled down on the exact same rhetoric every time I've brought it up. What are we suppose to think when someone responds to news of a foiled attack with "it's about time" and then starts talking about how Islam only respects "force and those who use force"?
It is now clear that the election hacking of the DNC, the deliberate spread of "fake news", and other cyber-attacks from Russia have come from the highest reaches of the Russian government- very likely Putin himself. This has been confirmed by the CIA, and now the FBI, and supported by 99 out of 100 US senators.
And interestingly enough, the US has not been the only victim of this Russian Cyberwar. Eastern European countries and Baltic states have also been the victims of this cyberwar. Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain are currently busy travelling back and forth to those areas to gather and consolidate further evidence for this as they build their case against the Russians.
But the question is: why? Why does Putin think that the destabilization of nascent and established democracies around the world is going to benefit Russia? Yes, it's true that Russia has become economically and diplomatically isolated after aggressive behavior like the invasion of Georgia, and more recently, the annexation of Crimea. But do they really think that destabilizing the rest of the world politically is going to fix this?

You should think someone knows a Hell of a lot more about human nature than you do. I hope the Marines can help.
I hate to burst your bubble, but the Marine Corps places a rather large emphasis on not committing war crimes and not murdering innocent civilians.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
I will listen to a marine. You are not a marine.
The deportation of the Russians was absolutely "timed".
New Years is the biggest and most important Russian holiday. It's as big or bigger than Christmas is here. Obama gave these people 72 hours to leave with their families knowing full well that the timing of his order would guarantee that these people would be "celebrating" their New Years either on a plane or in an airport. My wife who is Russian picked up on this immediately. We were watching the news when the announcement was made and her first reaction was to exclaim... "what an ASSHOLE!" Then she explained the "timing" part to me and I thought... 'Hmmm, I could buy that".
I still want to know how it is they are so certain. We don't know who hacks other sites. How is it that we are POSITIVE the Russian gvmt did this? Until the CIA and FBI give us more information? I will continue to think our gvmt is lying to us. And I'm smart enough to know that I'm far the only one who thinks that way.
Yeah, he really is an asshole.
I agree with you there Maggie, 'cause this president and his administration have been oh so honest with us up to this point.
And no, this doesn't mean that I believe the Russians over our government, don't be ridiculous. What this means is that I expect our government to make good with sufficient information and specifics, not to reveal means or methods, but enough to be convinced they aren't fabricating this, and aren't being spoofed by the hackers into concluding it was the Russian when in fact it might not be.
