NBC: Trump downplays Russian hack in first comments on massive breach, implicates China....discussing the possibility that it may be China (it may!). There could also have been a hit on our ridiculous voting machines during the election, which is now obvious that I won big, making it an even more corrupted embarrassment for the USA. @DNI_Ratcliffe @SecPompeo

Trump's comments, which caught White House staff off guard, contradict members of his own Cabinet and are the latest example of his reluctance to criticize Russia.

A twist would be if a great power attacked another great power and for domestic political reasons the attacked great power blamed it on a third great power. I do not put that past the Democrats.
Honestly. I don't know.
My solution would be to attack both Russia and China. It is what the cops are said to do, when they are under great political pressure to solve a crime. They start putting pressure on all the gangs and organizations. Freaking attack everyone. You are bound to get the guilty party.
JFC.
Zero brain cells above.
Your solution supra-genius is sanctions or do nothing?
Have heard many politicians of both parties saying Russia and China have hurt the US in the past 10 years. So in you book that means don't hurt either of them back?
Yawn. Waiting for proof. Iraq has nukes remember?
