The link says Fox News, but the story was originally run in The Sun, a British tabloid akin to The National Enquirer. Why would anyone believe the tripe written in such papers (but then, Donald has called the Enquirer a credible source)?

Sadly, after watching recent decades of America falling into such a state of incompetence and ruin, I have no faith left that we have an anti ballistic system that even works anymore or people competent to protect us in any meaningful way.
Look how badly the Iraq war was managed.
We can't even get a cyber terrorism policy in play.
Look at the two deeply flawed candidates now running for president, and how sex scandals trump any meaningful policy debate.
Look at the obsession with banal pop culture over important news
Look at our infrastructure in ruins.
Look at our debt.
We have dropped from the world leader in education to the near bottom
We are allowing refugees in from terrorist countries we can't even vet
We are calling true terrorist events "work place violence."
We haven't even connected the technology dots in our law enforcement and FBI since 9/11

I think Russia is well aware of the state America has allowed itself to become.

Think again.


Putin ally tells Americans: vote Trump or face nuclear war


We should not allow Russian threats to manipulate our Presidential election.


That is not who we are as a country.
No, we're much happier to be told what to think by a bunch of unelected people of dubious affiliations called the MSM.

Control the flow of information/message and you control the populace.

Seriously?

You... mmm.... actually believe this?

Let me ask you something. Have you guys all had catastrophic head injuries or something? That's a serious question.

Hillary is the one with the head injury.

Could prove to be dangerous in the long run too.

In addition, whenever someone reads that post, they will have a series of emotional reactions to it, and the chip will record those reactions and upload that to the satellite as well.

The satellite downloads this information to a computer in Langley, Virginia, and the information is recorded in an NSA database in Kenya - exactly who read the post, and how the reacted to it... positive, negative, agreement or disagreement, whatever you were feeling at the time you read it. And that becomes a part of the Obama Administration's permanent file on you.

But then again, you probably guessed all that anyway, right? I mean, I'm sure I'm not telling anyone here anything they don't already know.
Suddenly, the anti-vaccination crowd is starting to make sense.

Holy crap, I clicked on the link, that took me to fox news who linked to the daily star in the UK a tabloid that apparently specializes on camel toe pictures, and the just cite "local sources" this is national enquirer level bs.
On a separate not what ever happen to the premise of mutual destruction, I heard trump talking about hoe we don't develop more nuclear arms and Russia has the greatest weapons, I thought once you had enough bombs to blow the world over 52 times you kinda stop making more.

OMG! Again and again, you just demonstrated that you have no idea of what's going on today and what is Putin's message to the US. The US showed their unwillingness to come to any reasonable agreement with Russia. And Putin proclaimed the official new Russia's politics toward USA. It's not a threat to America. It's a fightback to american threats. You will get it later, I hope.

Well because Russia knows Trump will allow it to expand and enrich itself at the expense of its neighbors.

No... Russia is trying to create a buffer zone... like it did with the eastern bloc when it was USSR. Russia has more seniors than teenagers and will soon spiral downward without gobbling up other countries' people and their farmland.

Not to mention, its economy crashed with oil and can't afford to saber rattle for much longer.

What problems are the Russians facing today?

Their people went through a bankrupt Nation two decades ago.

The children they raised are ready.

The children we raised believe America is the most evil Nation that ever existed.
