In reply to the discussion: Russian media report: Russian made telecommunication equipment w supplied encryption installed in WH [View all]Enoki33
(1,587 posts)42. The Russians are well known for planting false reports after
establishing a record of relative accuracy. This report could be one such case. It is known dotard is owned by the Russian Mafia,and that Putin has control of that criminal organization. Assuming Putin personally took over from his oligarch emissaries after the election, it seems unlikely he would install another direct communication system, and then advertise it. More likely it is simply more psychological warfare. He is once again messing with the minds of the American people.

If it is, then it's because Putin has decided to hasten what he thinks is a fait accompli ...
