The Iranian connection seems like bullshit. Like they just made it up because iran bad.

Almost like when someone dumped Podesta's emails and liberals didn't care about a thing because "evil Russia wanted us to see those"

Didn't they do this in the UK with some leaked document about how the Tories were planning to sell off the NHS to American health insurance companies or something? Corbyn talked about it but he just got told off for playing into Russian hands

Yeah, seems all made up, those leaks weren't Russian either from what I remember.

[-] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

Nah there was spurious bullshit that was used to convince liberals they came from Russia but that was it. Like some file or another had Russian language in it or something so the brain geniusesc were like "wow it must havex been Russia!"

But even if Russia supplied the leaks the ultimate source was podesta's own fucking gmail account

And the liberals are still mad. This is the same sort of thing but with iran. The leaker hopes that trump will have a more anti iran posture when he wins.

[-] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

I think Iran just really doesn’t want Trump to be President.

[-] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

Perhaps, but I doubt they see a meaningful difference. I doubt they are involved in this leak at all. Just like Russia was not involved in the other one. I think by blaming the leak on iran they made trump more anti Iranian. So that the us deep state interests are secured no mater who wins.

I mean Trump is the guy who destroyed the Nuclear Deal and killed their top general.
I wouldn’t find it odd for them to take it personally.

[-] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

The thing is, Obama wasn't following the nuclear deal either, and even if he had, the sanctions really started to kick in during the Obama era, then there is ISIS, Yemen, etc, Obama was much worse.

it doesn't line up with the amount of restraint they've exhibited with Israel. Trying to influence the election is just the sort of thing that will get both parties to back an Iranian-Israeli conflict even harder
