As Mark Anderson predicted last week. Too many disruption/ cyber attacks (possibly FSB/KGB) for coincidence, after this cabal reamed counter-intel +counter-terror experts and agencies. As GW Bush did in the months before 9/11.

Dig it. we can verify our atomic ordinance with computer models +lab bench tests that Russia can't duplicate. They know their arsenal has decayed. They may have few fully working bombs. Now Trump has given them an excuse to test them the old fashioned way. And blame us.
