Cheney: Putin made 'a very serious effort' to interfere in US election

By Eli Watkins, CNN

Washington (CNN)

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said in a speech Monday that Russia's alleged involvement in the election could be considered "an act of war."

"There was a very serious effort made by (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and his government, his organization, to interfere in major ways with our basic, fundamental democratic processes," Cheney said at the Economic Times Global Business Summit in New Delhi, India. "In some quarters that would be considered an act of war."

Cheney, who made clear that he didn't "speak for anybody else" before offering his assessment of threats posed by Putin, said to expect Russia to continue these kind of efforts "going forward" and accused the Russian President of trying to influence past elections in Baltic countries; he added. however, that Russia had not undermined the legitimacy of President Donald Trump's electoral victory.

"I would not underestimate the weight that we, as Americans, assign to the Russian attempts to interfere with our internal political processes," Cheney said.

Unlike former President George W. Bush, whom he served as vice president, Cheney said he supported Trump, and was happy to do so.

The US intelligence community has publicly accused Russia of being behind several hacks and information dumps, including against the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman. Russia has denied the charge, which is central to investigations in the US House and Senate as well as the Trump administration.

Cheney also warned of Russian military aggression and the potential destabilization Putin could bring.

"He is doing everything he can to find ways to undermine NATO," Cheney said.

The former vice president fondly recalled the initial post-Cold War period and said times had changed for the worse in some ways.

At the beginning of the Bush administration, the US had a closer relationship with Russia, but the relationship deteriorated significantly by the end of Bush and Cheney's time, following the war in Iraq, the growth of NATO since the fall of the Soviet Union and Russia's aggression in Eastern Europe.

HOLEEE FUCK!  It's already been posted but DAMN!  Cheney is now the new Liberal Messiah (well, next to Allah).

The man whose amazing paranoia and manipulation skills led us after the WMD's in IRAQ and STILL BELIEVES they are there was the most hated man by the liberals especially, Now "The Russians" slips out of his mouth and BOOOOOM!!!!!  Best buds.  You're all so fucking stupid.  And Vince, I'm adding your name to the "worst hack" poll.  I think you've earned it.

Ok...just so I'm clear.  Now the Russians are our sworn enemy for doing things they've been doing for decades because "they cost us the vote" (laughable).  And the Muslims are now our BEST FRIENDS for doing what they've been doing for decades because "we need their votes"...GOT IT...  I think.  Beats me.

Tell that to the families of the 58,000 US servicemen and women that gave their lives, and the 21,000 permanently disabled fighting the commie China and Russian supported NV.

China and Russia will never be our friends. Go ahead be complacent cause you think all is OK ....better learn Russian or Chinese.

Living in the past? LMFAO....tell that the the people of Crimea

How can we tell something to dead people.  Only dems can do that around voting time. :lol:

My old man spent three tours in VN...seeing amazing movie like shit.  And he holds ZERO ill-will.  So...seeing as how you've never "laced up", what's your fucking problem?

And clearly, you don't know what happened in Crimea. You're an idiot.

If they was your intent I feel for someone like you....really you need to grow up.

So MC. In your words please tell us why Russia wasn't a problem when Obama was in charge? I'll wait.

Because Obama didn't/doesn't personally do business with them, he released all his tax records in a transparent and open fashion and he didn't collude with them to try and win an election.  It's pretty simple

Keep "feeling". :lol:

How's this working out for you?  You feeling like you are making everyone as miserable as you are?  Or do you think you bring levity to the board?  I know, I know...liberals should be taken seriously as they are the chosen "intellectually elite" with the truly righteous ways and pathway to the perfect world.

I just made myself giggle just a bit................

Yeah...that's really all he is.  In fact, that's really all most Liberals are....talking points from their "news" shows from the night before.  Nothing intellectual at all.  And I think I've tried to pull it out of most here...just nothing there.  So, just easier to play their little idiotic games.  Which I find bizarre that they just plain suck at playing. AND THIS IS THE INTERNET!!!!  it's no wonder they are quiet as church mice in public.
