dedicated to the discussion of the chinese internal martial arts of xingyiquan, baguazhang, taijiquan, related arts, and anything else best discussed over a bottle of rum
After years of diplomatic snubs by the USA to Russia, which reached their height in the final week of 2016 when Obama declared that a couple of houses owned by the Russian Federation diplomatic corps in Maryland were actually spy centers, followed by their illegal confiscation by the US govt, Putin finally unleashed his first zinger 9 months later, shortly after we closed their San Francisco consulate with only 48 hours notice.
Putin said talking the finer points of international law with people who confuse Austria and Australia is quite difficult. Oh, snap. That KGB so snarky.
And now, as Hillary is in the middle of her whirlwind blame game book tour, and with absolutely no good evidence, a couple of respected movie stars have declared war on Russia because they claim interference in our great democracy.
Thanks, guys! The military industrial complex really appreciates your propping up another enemy to justify the $700 BILLION USD Congress just approved for the Pentagon, which is more "defense" money than almost the entire rest of the world combined.
As a movie buff I have to mention how well Rob Reiner played a far-left anti-Vietnam terrorist, who cut off the big toe of US Army general Barnard Hughes in the 1970 dark comedy "Where's Poppa?".

Tucker asks Reiner why does the ad say we're at war with Russia without making the distinction of a cyber war, and why doesn't it talk about China, who is a more egregious violator, in terms of cyber attacks, than Russia?
May I, may I?! [raises hand frantically] Cause everything is made in China!!
Shame, and sad, when reasonably talented Hollywood folks decide that acting or directing gives them some sort of special powers in fields other than acting or directing... Has happened before, will probably happen again... What can ya do.
CNN is gradually admitting the Russia hacking thing is a hoax. First they were caught with the nothing burgers, yesterday their on-air legal analyst "admitted" that e-mail collusion or whatever is not an actual crime. Next they'll say ? we'll see.
