Is Russia really behind the US cyber attack?

Post by patrick »

So I've read that the link of Russia to the recent cyber attack on the US is questionable. Yet I've yet to read a probable cause for another party running it. Previously I thought it was simply Assange, the person running WikiLeaks, but WikiLeaks simply reports stories that it can get a hold of.

So thoughts? Arguments?

It's just a distraction to divert people away from the content. Also feeds into the narrative that Trump is pussy-whipped by Putin or vice-versa. Russia would I reckon would confess if they were responsible, or have release themselves via their "cyber warriors" rather than Wikileaks.

It also suits to add more fuel to the "evil Russia" propaganda. US just sent snipers to Donetsk, England is discussing bombing Russians in Syria along with the Syrian Army (as I'm sure so is the US), and Russia is calling their diplomats to come back immediately with their families. Things are heating up, so it really is a nothing issue in the scheme of things.

When reading, look for the factual evidence that pins it on Russia. I haven't seen anything. Rather Assange has heavily hinted that the source came from within.

Well Hilary gave Russia an great big reset button!



Then Obama...



How is all that all working out now?

Guess they need the Russian as a tool to blame Trump on something to discredit him so they win the election.
