To be fair, Dick Cheney's bar for "act of war" is very, very low.

Russia having vast oil reserves is probably also an act of war.

     Indeed, there are other people I will be consulting before one of the nation's most prominent neoconservatives on what is an act of war.

Don't you? Getting cut off in traffic is the worst.

This is why I'm so hesitant to really care about any of the Trump-Russia scandals. I definitely think there's SOMETHING there, based on how Nunes and others have handled things, but so much the outcry has come from either:

1) Old neocons (Cheney, McCain, Feinstein)

2) Establishment liberals desperately seeking to prove the election wasn't Hillary's fault.

3) Absolute morons like Louise Mensch and Kurt Eichenwald

I told you that the evidence for the Russian hacking to release the Wikileaks e-mails was next to Iraq's WMD.

he could easily have prevented this, if he wanted.

I don't think its fake news at all. Iraqi weapons of mass destruction is fake news, Saddam was linked to 9/11 is fake news, Saddam put people in shredding machines was fake news, and lets not forget the first gulf war story, Iraqi soldiers took babies out of incubators in Kuwait city was fake news.

This entire 'Russia hacked the election' narrative is based on a report by a company called Crowdstrike that was hired by the DNC and proceeded to tell them what they wanted to hear. Now that doesn't mean that it wasn't true. However don't you find it extraordinary that James Comey admitted again the other day under oath that the FBI never examined the DNC servers but instead just took Crowdstrike's word for what happened?

However you might say "well if the FBI and CNN, and NYT and NBC all trust Crowdstrike to be accurate then that's good enough for me. I trust the judgement of three letter goverment agencies and three letter media companies"

OK then lets take a look at a report from a three letter government agency that is also a three letter media company. Voice of America

maybe that's what he was trying to do by endorsing him.

Let's not forget that Darth Vader considers hunting in the woods an act of war, apparently.

We should stop listening to Dick “the warmonger” Cheney. While Russia deserves a certain punishment for its hacking into the DNC, the warmonger belongs in prison.
