Why Putin favors Hillary Clinton in the coming election

MILG-POPS, MIDDLE EAST;MILITARY; INTELLIGENCE

It appears that  Putin favors Hillary Clinton in the coming election contrary to Clinton’s attempt to connect Trump with Putin.

A.     Putin is a cold-blooded.  realist  with an agenda to expand Russian  influence to encompass all of the areas of the previous Soviet Union and to become a major player in the Middle East.  It is Putin’s agenda that   guides his  actions.[ And,  from Putin’s point of view Hillary Clinton  is much more likely to help him  complete his agenda than is Donald Trump.]

B.      Most important to Putin  is the  very favorable political and  economic outcomes to Russia that would occur from Hillary Clinton’s expected actions relating to fracking.Thus, a major reason that he prefers Hillary Clinton is her position and  likely future actions concerning  Fracking.

Hillary Clinton would  probably attempt to eliminate fracking (or if she could not eliminate it entirely  she would drastically reduce fracking within the United States). She would accomplish this through limiting the areas for  petroleum exploration; instituting rigorous regulations; requiring extensive environmental studies; moratoriums;  etc.

This elimination or reduction of US petroleum production by restrictions on  fracking would increase the world  price for petroleum.

This increase would give Putin a vast  increase in  the value of  Russia’s  petroleum reserves  [ thus rescuing the currently faltering Russian economy ]; it would greatly increase the value of  Putin’s  petroleum exports.  This would give Putin additional hard currency  to help finance his expansionist  adventures.  It would restore Russia’s  previous  political and economic lock on  East Europe’s  energy supplies.

C.   A second major reason that Putin probably favors Hillary Clinton in the coming election is Putin’s belief, [based on many years of   observation of Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry]  that a  Hillary  Clinton administration would continue the parameters and trend lines  established by Barack Obama .[ The Obama administration has pulled back in every confrontation with Putin’s Russia.  Putin has seen this US  pattern and has resolved to remain the first mover, not expecting much American pushback except in words.] Examples:

a..Bill Clinton offered North Korea  emergency relief supplies and other concessions to obtain their agreement that they would cease their nuclear activities and dismantle their nuclear program. North Korea agreed and Bill Clinton publicly announced complete success of his negotiations with North Korea assuring the American public that North Korea will abandon the quest for nuclear weapons and completely demolish the nuclear development infrastructure. Here is Bill Clinton announcing the “resolution of the North Korean nuclear threat:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TcbU5jAavw&ab_channel=DavidGruen ]

b. During the presidential debate of 2012 Romney identified Russia  as a potential major adversary  of the United States. Obama   forcefully rebuked Romney during the debate[ (Obama to Romney:”……you know, the Cold War’s been over for 20 years,”        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsFR8DbSRQE&ab_channel=RT

c.   During a meeting with then  Russian president Dmitry Medvedev , Obama did not know that his microphone was alive. He leaned over to whisper a confidential message that he wanted carried to Vladimir Putin …it was: “tell Vladimir “that after my election I will have much more flexibility” [this signaled that Obama was going to reverse the US  missile defense agreements with Poland and other Eastern European countries. [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsFR8DbSRQE&ab_channel=RT]

d.   Hillary Clinton’s  presentation of a “reset button” [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sudCmrAsF4&ab_channel=DouglasJohnston  ]

e.     Acceptance  of Putin’s aggressive intervention  in Ukraine;

f.      State Department approval of sale of uranium reserves to a crony  of Putin.

g.     Hillary Clinton initiatied the  negotiations with  the Iranian hardliners which  concluded in a deal which which permits Russia to sell advanced weaponry to Iran and receive hard currency (furnished by the United States);

h.    Strategy of  bringing Russia into the Middle East as a major player (as discussed in Obama’s Syria Policy Striptease Tony Badran The Tablet September 21, 2016 ) .

3.Mr. Clapper in all of  public statements is very cautious. He will not respond to reporters leading questions but rather keeps referring them back to the written  Joint statement.Mr. Clapper said: “IT’S PROBABLY NOT REAL, REAL CLEAR WHETHER THERE’S INFLUENCE IN TERMS OF AN OUTCOME [OF THE NOVEMBER U.S. ELECTIONS] OR WHAT I WORRY ABOUT MORE—FRANKLY —IS JUST THE  SOWING THE SEEDS OF DOUBT, WHERE DOUBT IS CAST ON THE WHOLE [ELECTION] PROCESS.”

4.  To put  these specific hacking’s into  perspective, in the year 2o16 ,there have been many hundreds of hackings, intrusions, compromises, hijackings, etc.   The following site presents a very vivid graphic  illustration of the scope and magnitude of the hacking phenomena:  http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/worlds-biggest-data-breaches-hacks/   Here is a sample of other links:

 Below, is an excerpt from the New York Times which reproduces in Ben Rhodes’ own words Rhodes’s  campaign to sell the Iran

“We created an echo chamber,’ he admitted, when I asked him to explain the onslaught of freshly minted experts cheerleading for the deal. ‘They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.”

From:THE ASPIRING NOVELIST WHO BECAME OBAMA’S FOREIGN-POLICY GURU  By DAVID SAMUELS MAY 5, 2016

The way in which most Americans have heard the story of the Iran deal presented — that the Obama administration began seriously engaging with Iranian officials in 2013 in order to take advantage of a new political reality in Iran, which came about because of elections that brought moderates to power in that country — was largely manufactured for the purpose for selling the deal. Even where the particulars of that story are true, the implications that readers and viewers are encouraged to take away from those particulars are often misleading or false. Obama’s closest advisers always understood him to be eager to do a deal with Iran as far back as 2012, and even since the beginning of his presidency. “It’s the center of the arc,” Rhodes explained to me two days after the deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, was implemented. He then checked off the ways in which the administration’s foreign-policy aims and priorities converged on Iran. “We don’t have to kind of be in cycles of conflict if we can find other ways to resolve these issues,” he said. “We can do things that challenge the conventional thinking that, you know, ‘AIPAC doesn’t like this,’ or ‘the Israeli government doesn’t like this,’ or ‘the gulf countries don’t like it.’ It’s the possibility of improved relations with adversaries. It’s nonproliferation. So all these threads that the president’s been spinning — and I mean that not in the press sense — for almost a decade, they kind of all converged around Iran.”
In the narrative that Rhodes shaped, the “story” of the Iran deal began in 2013, when a “moderate” faction inside the Iranian regime led by Hassan Rouhani beat regime “hard-liners” in an election and then began to pursue a policy of “openness,” which included a newfound willingness to negotiate the dismantling of its illicit nuclear-weapons program. The president set out the timeline himself in his speech announcing the nuclear deal on July 14, 2015: “Today, after two years of negotiations, the United States, together with our international partners, has achieved something that decades of animosity has not.” While the president’s statement was technically accurate — there had in fact been two years of formal negotiations leading up to the signing of the J.C.P.O.A. — it was also actively misleading, because the most meaningful part of the negotiations with Iran had begun in mid-2012, many months before Rouhani and the “moderate” camp were chosen in an election among candidates handpicked by Iran’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The idea that there was a new reality in Iran was politically useful to the Obama administration. By obtaining broad public currency for the thought that there was a significant split in the regime, and that the administration was reaching out to moderate-minded Iranians who wanted peaceful relations with their neighbors and with America, Obama was able to evade what might have otherwise been a divisive but clarifying debate over the actual policy choices that his administration was making. By eliminating the fuss about Iran’s nuclear program, the administration hoped to eliminate a source of structural tension between the two countries, which would create the space for America to disentangle itself from its established system of alliances with countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel and Turkey.
With one bold move, the administration would effectively begin the process of a large-scale disengagement from the Middle East.
The nerve center for the selling of the Iran deal to Congress, which took place in a concentrated three-month period between July and September of last year, was located inside the White House, and is referred to by its former denizens as “the war room.”
Chad Kreikemeier, a Nebraskan who had worked in the White House Office of Legislative Affairs, helped run the team, which included three to six people from each of several agencies, he says, which were the State Department, Treasury, the American delegation to the United Nations (i.e., Samantha Power), “at times D.O.D.” (the Department of Defense) and also the Department of Energy and the National Security Council. Rhodes “was kind of like the quarterback,” running the daily video conferences and coming up with lines of attack and parry. “He was extremely good about immediately getting to a phrase or a way of getting the message out that just made more sense,” Kreikemeier remembers. Framing the deal as a choice between peace and war was Rhodes’s go-to move — and proved to be a winning argument.
The person whom Kreikemeier credits with running the digital side of the campaign was Tanya Somanader, 31, the director of digital response for the White House Office of Digital Strategy, who became known in the war room and on Twitter as @TheIranDeal. Early on, Rhodes asked her to create a rapid-response account that fact-checked everything related to the Iran deal. “So, we developed a plan that was like: The Iran deal is literally going to be the tip of everything that we stand up online,” Somanader says. “And we’re going to map it onto what we know about the different audiences we’re dealing with: the public, pundits, experts, the right wing, Congress.” By applying 21st-century data and networking tools to the white-glove world of foreign affairs, the White House was able to track what United States senators and the people who worked for them, and influenced them, were seeing online — and make sure that no potential negative comment passed without a tweet.
“People construct their own sense of source and credibility now,” she said. “They elect who they’re going to believe.” For those in need of more traditional-seeming forms of validation, handpicked Beltway insiders like Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic and Laura Rozen of Al-Monitor helped retail the administration’s narrative. “Laura Rozen was my RSS feed,” Somanader offered. “She would just find everything and retweet it.”
In July 2012, Jake Sullivan, a close aide to Hillary Clinton, traveled to Muscat, Oman, for the first meeting with the Iranians, taking a message from the White House. “It was, ‘We’re prepared to open a direct channel to resolve the nuclear agreement if you are prepared to do the same thing and authorize it at the highest levels and engage in a serious discussion on these issues,’?”
The White House point person during the later stage of the negotiations was Rob Malley,  who is currently running negotiations that could keep the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in power. During the course of the Iran talks, Malley told me, he always kept in close contact with Rhodes. “I would often just call him and say, ‘Give me a reality check,’?” Malley explained. “He could say, ‘Here is where I think the president is, and here is where I think he will be.’?” He continued, “Ben would try to anticipate: Does it make sense policywise? But then he would also ask himself: How do we sell it to Congress? How do we sell it to the public? What is it going to do to our narrative?”

Malley is a particularly keen observer of the changing art of political communication; his father, Simon Malley, who was born in Cairo, edited the politics magazine Afrique Asie and proudly provided a platform for Fidel Castro and Yasir Arafat.As Malley and representatives of the State Department, including Wendy Sherman and Secretary of State John Kerry, engaged in formal negotiations with the Iranians, to ratify details of a framework that had already been agreed upon, Rhodes’s war room did its work on Capitol Hill and with reporters. In the spring of last year, legions of arms-control experts began popping up at think tanks and on social media, and then became key sources for hundreds of often-clueless reporters. “We created an echo chamber,” he admitted, when I asked him to explain the onslaught of freshly minted experts cheerleading for the deal. “They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.”Rhodes: “We had test drives to know who was going to be able to carry our message effectively, and how to use outside groups like Ploughshares, the Iran Project and whomever else. So we knew the tactics that worked.” He is proud of the way he sold the Iran deal. “We drove them crazy,” he said of the deal’s opponents. ‘We created an echo chamber,’ he admitted, when I asked him to explain the onslaught of freshly minted experts cheerleading for the deal. ‘They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.’

7. Hillary Clinton has willingly engaged in previous public disinformation campaigns.
[Clinton Campaign, White House Coordinated Pro-Iran Deal Talking Point…Leaked emails show effort to mislead public about Iran deal by: Adam Kredo  October 10, 2016 ]

Senior Clinton campaign officials were in direct contact with the White House to coordinate pro-Iran talking points in an effort to boost last summer’s comprehensive nuclear agreement, according to leaked emails that show the Obama administration and top figures in Clinton’s campaign played a role in promulgating information about the deal that later turned out to be factually inaccurate.

The emails, released late on Friday in a massive document dump by the hacker website WikiLeaks, show coordination between Hillary Clinton’s team and the White House, which spearheaded a massive effort to create what senior officials described as a pro-Iran “echo chamber” to mislead Congress and Americans about the nature of the agreement.
An April 2, 2015, communication sent from top White House press liaison Eric Shultz to Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri includes several pages of pro-Iran talking points that were later discovered to contain misleading information.

“Love it!!” Palmieri responded to Schultz’s email. She subsequently forwarded the information to leading Clinton aides, including Cheryl Mills, Brian Fallon, and Nick Merrill, among others.The disclosure of these emails threatens to entangle the Clinton campaign in a growing scandal surrounding secret White House efforts to mislead Congress and the public about the nuclear deal. Congress has been investigating these efforts for months and has uncovered evidence the Obama administration inked several secret side deals with Iran, including the rollback of key sanctions on Tehran and a $1.7 billion cash payment.The White House’s pro-Iran press machine, which was helmed by Rhodes, received support from liberal billionaire George Soros and a network of non-profit organizations that funneled money to those who helped champion the deal in the public sphere.

    “Curiouser and curiouser.” Here I am responding to my own
    post. Wouldn’t it be appropriate for somebody to break Progressive ranks in the enemidia and create a maybe made-for-internet series like “Dallas”, the hit Prime-time soap opera that began in 1978 and ran until the late ’80s, which was about a fictional family of corrupt quasi-mafia-like Texas oil robber barons, to be called, “The Clintons.” They would have to present “The Clintons” as fiction, no doubt. Who would believe it?

  6. Lorensacho Said:

    17 international intelligence agencies have accused Russia of hacking DNC and Hillary Clinton’s aid’s e-mails and making them available to Wikileaks that has been making them public.

    That’s another of Hillary’s lies, Where’s the proof. Never happened.

  7. Hillary is boasting but her foreign and internal policies are a multitude of disaster after disaster and Putin/Iran will jump on the opportunities to screw the West! With Hillary as Pr, more of the same will happens! But the single most important factor is the ECONOMY. The US might requires a strong economy and that is NOT the expertise of Hillary and Bill will not benefit from what happened during his time. Hillary expertise is collecting flying points, smiles and shaking hands.
    Most top politicians in the world are MEN and they won’t fear a woman even if she is American. Her baggage will undermine the country! The Iranians will outsmart her every day. Furthermore siding with Islamists is not benefiting the US in the long run.
    Putin has three major problems: his population is shrinking, his power is a fake in comparison with the US and Islamism is bleeding the Russian defense Forces. For that last issue he needs the assistance of the US! Hillary will not help.

  8. @ Bear Klein:Hillary talks a good game, but she always dodges responsibility. For example:Shakil Afridi, the Pakistani doctor who helped the agency confirm that bin Laden was living at the compound is still stuck in prison

    It has been more than five years since a team of US Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden during a CIA-led raid on the al-Qaeda leader’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

    If you know anything about the story of how US President Barack Obama ended up ordering the raid on bin Laden’s compound, you’ve heard bits and pieces about the role Afridi played in finding and killing the world’s most-wanted terrorist.

    Afridi, a doctor and health official in Pakistan’s Khyber tribal region, headed up a vaccination campaign in the suburb where bin Laden’s suspected compound was located. It turns out that program was no ordinary public health initiative. It was a CIA operation designed to confirm bin Laden’s presence in Abbottabad by collecting DNA from one of his family members.

    During one of the many White House and State Department sessions glorying in the success of the operation, details of this vaccination program were leaked to the media.

    Pakistani officials were infuriated and the country’s Inter-Services Intelligence Agency (ISI) soon arrested Afridi over his role in tracking bin Laden.

    A judicial commission recommended trying him for treason. He was sentenced to 33 years in prison in 2012 .

     The Obama administration “in the interest of maintaining its good relationship with Pakistan” has declined to intervene to obtain Dr.Afridi ’s release. But as long as Shakil Afridi remains in prison, the story of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden isn’t over yet.

  9. I don’t buy it. There’s no oil shortage. Leftists used to say we wanted Iraq’s oil. Bull. The historic agreement was for Iraq to keep it’s oil off the market to keep the price up. Banning Fracking hurts us by making us dependent on and in debt to our Arab enemies. (which is the whole point of the Global warming, excuse me climate change? scam) When did we ever buy oil from Russia? Silly.

    Obama was right the first time when he said the cold war was over for 20 years. Now it’s closer to 30, He just whispered that to Putin because he’s a Leftist who cares about perceptions and Leftists like to stick it to the U.S. and/or Israel any way they kind, like that off-stage over the mike remark about having to deal with Bibi.

    Trump would work with Russia in defeating Jihad. Hillary is a loose cannon. She could just as easily start a war or sell them the rest of the country (she already sold them 20 percent of our uranium reserves after a nice contribution to the Clinton Fund, of course. Progressives normally don’t understand the difference between rivals (competitors who want to be number one) and enemies (who want us dead), Hillary doesn’t even care anymore, if she ever did.), depending on what she thinks will feather her own vulture’s nest.

    I think the character Jimmy Cagney plays in this brilliant cold war comedy is a lot like Trump.

    Warning:
    It’s 1961. Cold War tensions are rising. The U.S. and the Soviet Union are facing off over Berlin. JFK has not yet delivered his famous “I am a jelly donut” speech (neither he, his speech writer nor any of his advisers apparently knew that a “Berliner” is actually a kind of jelly donut).

    Jimmy is head of Coca Cola in West Berlin who is juggling fooling around with his German secretary under the guise of language lessons with being a devoted father and husband. He wants to be promoted to head of Coca Cola in Europe. His boss, in Florida, asks him to look after his wild 17 year old daughter that nobody can handle for a month. He passes her on to his wife to look after.

    A month later, he discovers that the this spoiled, wealthy, wild southern belle, the daughter of conservative patrician southern parents, has been bribing the chauffeur to take her into E. Berlin every night. She announces that she is married and introduces her husband, a young, ardent, angry, working class, Communist engineering student. They tell him they are about to elope to Moscow.

    He does the only thing a concerned friend of the family can do. He wishes them well, and them frames him so he will be arrested as an American spy when he goes back to E. Berlin.

    Immediately after, two things happen in rapid succession:, girl’s father tells him that he and his wife are coming to take the girl home. And she announces that she is pregnant.

    Using all of his fast-paced, fast-talking ability to think outside the box and all of his corrupt Russian and German contacts, he has less than 24 hours to organize an escape, erase all evidence of the arrest and interrogation or that he ever lived there, and transform him into a suitable son-in-law before the parents’ plane lands in W. Berlin. Will he make it? The clock is ticking. To the tune of Khatchaturian’s “Sword Dance”. Dir. by Billy Wilder, written by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond (they gave us “Some Like It Hot”) and based on the play by Ferenc Molnar who wrote “Lilliom” on which Rogers and Hammerstein’s “Carousel” was based.

  10. The Hate Hillary Industrial Complex at work.
    Nice try. 17 international intelligence agencies have accused Russia of hacking DNC and Hillary Clinton’s aid’s e-mails and making them available to Wikileaks that has been making them public. The Trump Campaign has been using these E-mails to attack Hillary Clinton with the result that Trump is drawing closer to Mrs. Clinton in the polls. It takes a major suspension of one’s critical thinking faculties too interpret this as Putin favoring Hillary Clinton.

  11. Putin has been pushing Trump through social media since last year. A disproportionate percentage of Trump’s Twitter followers are Russian, and one blogger said that when he conducted an internet presidential poll (which Trump won overwhelmingly) most of the responding IP addresses were Russian. Trump and Putin are authoritarian soulmates, whereas Hillary is exclusively out for Hillary. It makes sense for Putin to be supporting Trump.

  12. I do not buy this article. Hillary based on past experience would be much more hawkish if POTUS than Obama. She would likely arm the Ukrainians, Kurds and Syrian Jihadis (sorry they are calling them Rebels) fighting Assad.

    These are all things Putin fears. Hillary was the push behind the USA getting into the Libyan debacle. This pissed off Putin.

    Putin does not want Hillary as POTUS for these reasons.
