#Russia's state TV repeatedly asserts: "We are at war with the United States."



#Russia's state TV repeatedly asserts: "We are at war with the United States." On a state TV show by 'Channel One,' Russian MP Andrey Svintsov reiterates this common POV: "We are at war. We may not be using conventional weapons, but we are using intellectual and info-weapons."

Do both sides need to consider themselves 'at war' for them to be 'at war'?

“We don’t have to invade you!
We will destroy you from within without firing a shot!”


He also said, “Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.”

Bridge, wall,... whatever!

But see, communism is dead and we won that one. Khrushchev was wrong. However Putin wasn't around then and neither was the internet. The reality of 21st century cyber-war is still sinking in here in the USA. Many aren't even up to speed yet.

I believe we're better off looking at what's happening now rather than looking back to Hitler and the Commies. Our technology and social media are the huge game changer that Hitler didn't have. That's the war we can't afford to lose, but by our ignorance/indifference we're falling behind while the Russians jump ahead.

There's this weird lack of alarm nationally about the fact that another country is openly infiltrating our country. It's not hyperbole to say that a sitting US president is compromised to the point he is acting in the interest of hostile foreign powers.

That's interesting because I'm willing to guess that the Russian people have no idea this "war" is happening.
Whatever they're talking about is straight from Pootie and his gang.

Alaska is on the front lines if Russia decides to go to war. Forts Wainwright and Richardson on high alert, Elmendorf and Eielson Air Force Bases included.

I'm officially scared.
