Seriously. Anonymous US "intelligence" sources having suspicions about Russian hacking are not PROOF of ANYTHING AT ALL.

Has everyone forgotten about Colin Powell shaking his little flask of "evidence" of weapons of mass destruction before the whole UN assembly?

Has everyone forgotten how NINETEEN SAUDIS boarded airplanes that they flew into your buildings and killing more than THREE THOUSAND US CITIZENS and the US government decided to invade Iraq which eventually led to the rise of Daesh?

How much more bloodshed does the USA need? How much meat for the grinder?

Those cheering on the war will not send their own children to die. It's always poor people who pay, either side of the gun.

Hold your horses it's not like there are tons of people yelling for war. People attacked the US election, which is a huge deal in a democracy, so it's going to be a story with a ton of interest and there are going to be a bunch of random leaks and shoddy journalism. If Russia really did attack the election would you rather no one said anything?

If. That's the key word. Even the FBI isn't sure. The CIA yelling "Russia did it" on all rooftops is only a sign that it's a last-ditch effort to prevent a Trump presidency. This whole rigmarole is hilarious to watch, especially when it comes from the country that invades other countries for "democracy".

So.... Its a big deal that the Clinton email hack matters now that Trump won, but didn't matter back when Clinton was under the microscope for mishandling secret material.

This is essentially an act of war. Does the US have the courage to actually do anything about it, or do we just let Russia decide who our next President is?
