Kremlin spokesman: U.S.-Russia relations maybe even worse than Cold War

Source: Politico

Relations between the U.S. and Russia have devolved to the level of a “new Cold War” or “maybe even worse,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday morning as he denied allegations that the Russian government interfered in last year’s U.S. presidential election.

Echoing comments from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who responded to a question about whether or not his government had indeed sought to interfere in the 2016 race by saying “Watch my lips: No,” Peskov told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that “we’re 100 percent confident” that Putin’s claim will prove true. He said reports that the Kremlin had sought to swing the election were “propaganda” that he admitted have been effective in convincing the American public.

“For more than a year, American audience have been a target for severe entire Russian propaganda and, of course, they felt victim of that propaganda and that's why lots of American, they do think that, yes, Russian hackers are everywhere,” Peskov said. “Russian hackers are in every fridge. Russian hackers are in every iron. But this is not true. Those are fake news and this is slander.”

The reports that Peskov chalked up to propaganda have largely been sourced to the intelligence community, which concluded last fall that the Russian government was to blame for a wave of cyberattacks targeting the Democratic National Committee and other high-profile political individuals, most of them Democrats. Further, the intelligence community said Russia engaged in its cyber campaign with the specific aim of aiding President Donald Trump’s candidacy and installing him in the White House.

Dimdon is in trouble, the Russians and he will create some minor conflict where Trump can give off the appearance that he's standing up to Putin. That's if Putin still has use for Trump. He might already be done with Trump, his lone goal might have been to weaken the US and send our politics into chaos and he's already achieved that.

One thing's for sure, the film the Russians have of Trump doing awful things will be released by the Russians when they are done using him. And I think it's a lot lot worse than just Pee Pee on those videos, he's either with very under aged girls, with boys, or maybe even worse.

Did the Democratic campaign people have such extensive and cozy relations with the Russians?

We haven't heard about those.
