Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
President Trump Has Been Contradicted by His Own Government, Which Has Lined Up Against Him in Favor of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, and the Russophobic Presstitute Media that serves the military/security complex and the neoconservatives.
I am afraid that The Saker and Finian Cunningham are correct. Nothing can come of Trump’s meeting with Putin, because, as Cunningham puts it, “Trump doesn’t have freedom or real power. The real power brokers in the US will ensure that the Russophobia campaign continues, with more spurious allegations of Moscow interfering to subvert Western democracies. Trump will continue to live under a cloud of media-driven suspicions. And thus the agenda of regime change against Syria and confrontation with Russia will also continue. Trump’s personal opinions on these matters and towards Vladimir Putin are negligible—indeed dispensable by the deep powers-that-be.”

Cunningham points out that instead of lauding the meeting as the beginning of the process to defuse the high tensions between the two major nuclear powers, the US media denounced Trump for being civil to Putin in the meeting.
What is missing from the media in the entirety of the Western world and perhaps also in Russia is the awareness that the dangerous tensions are orchestrated not only by Hillary and the Democratic National Committee, the neoconservatives, the US military/security complex, and the presstitutes, but also by President Trump’s own appointees.
Trump’s own ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, and Trump’s own Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, sound exactly like Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, the neoconservatives, the Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN and the rest of the totally discredited presstitute media that is committed to raising tensions between the US and Russia to the point of nuclear war.
On the same day that President Donald Trump said “it is time to move forward in working constructively with Russia,” and the day after he said “I had a tremendous meeting yesterday with President Putin,” the ignorant, stupid, Nikki Haley, who Trump appointed as US UN Ambassador, publicly contradicted her president, forcefully stating: “we can’t trust Russia and we won’t ever trust Russia.” https://www.rt.com/usa/395814-us-trust-russia-haley/?utm_source=spotim&utm_medium=spotim_recirculation&spotim_referrer=recirculation&spot_im_comment_id=sp_6phY2k0C_395814_c_rDCXsj
The ignorant stupid Haley is still in office, a perfect demonstration of Trump’s powerlessness.
The ignorant stupid Haley has gone far beyond Obama’s crazed UN Ambassador, neocon Samantha Power in doing everything in her power to ruin the prospect of normal relations between the two major nuclear powers. Why does Nikki Haley work in favor of a confrontation between nuclear powers that would destroy all life on earth? What is wrong with Nikki Haley? Is she demented? Has she lost her mind, assuming she ever had one?
How can President Trump normalize relations with Russia when every one of his appointees wants to worsen the relations to the point of nuclear war?
How is President Trump going to improve relations with Russia when President Trump stands powerless in face of his dressing down by his UN Ambassador? Clearly, Trump is powerless, a mere cipher.
Joining Nikki Haley was Trump’s Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson. Tillerson, allegedly a friend of Russia, is also working overtime to worsen relations between the two nuclear powers by publicly contradicting the President of the United States, thereby making it clear that Trump is barely even a cipher. Tillerson, a disgrace, said that Putin’s refusal to admit that Putin elected Trump by interfering in the US election “stands as an obstacle to our ability to improve the relationship between the US and Russia and it needs to be addressed in terms of how we assure the American people that interference into our elections will not occur by Russia or anyone else.” https://www.rt.com/usa/395814-us-trust-russia-haley/?utm_source=spotim&utm_medium=spotim_recirculation&spotim_referrer=recirculation&spot_im_comment_id=sp_6phY2k0C_395814_c_rDCXsj
Trump’s incompetence is illustrated by his appointments. There is no one in “his” government that supports him. Everyone of them works to undermine him. And he sits there and Twitters.
So, what is President Putin’s belief that an understanding can now be worked out with Washington worth? Not a plugged nickel. Trump has zero authority over “his” government. He can be contradicted at will by his own appointees. The President of the United States is a joke. You can find him on Twitter, but nowhere else, not in the Oval Office making foreign or military policy. The president Twitters and thinks that that is policy.
The Trump administration was destroyed when the weak Donald Trump allowed the neoconservatives to remove his National Security Advisor, General Flynn. Trump has never recovered. “His” administration is staffed with violent Russophobes. Wars can be the only outcome.
We know two things about the alleged Russian interference in the Trump/Hillary presidential election. One is that John Brennan, Obama’s CIA director, and Comey, Obama’s FBI director, implied repeatedly that Trump was elected by Russian interference in the election. The other is that the charge is false. Neither the CIA nor the FBI have provided any evidence whatsoever that any such interference occurred. Indeed, months into the case, the special prosecutor, the former FBI director, can produce no evidence. The whole thing is a sham, but it is ongoing. There will be no end to it as it is designed to undermine President Trump with the people who elected him. The message is: “Trump is not for America. Trump is for Russia.”
This is astounding! The NSA has intercepts of all transmitted data. If Russia interfered in the US presidential election the evidence would be obvious and immediately available.
Despite the obvious lies told by Brennan and Comey, the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the scum, no one has been arrested and put on trial for their efforts to overthrow the elected president of the United States. This proves beyond all doubt that the President of the United States is a non-entity. A figurehead incapable of action independently of the Deep State that controls him.
If Vladimir Putin really believes from his meeting with Trump that all of the orchestrated false charges against Russia can now be removed and normal relations restored, Putin is in la-la land. Nikki Haley says that the US will NEVER trust Russia. If Putin trusts Washington, Russia will be destroyed. And the rest of the world with Russia.
There are many more alligators in the swamp than anyone ever imagined, and they don’t want it drained.
And they are uniformly intent on eating anyone trying it.
It’s worse than that. President Bozo has brought a worse crowd in with him.
the morons who push the anti Russian cause must want there families wiped out in a world war, along with the rest of us, insane
The biggest fear of deep state/neocons too?
Peace and productive commerce. Nothing “counts”
in this world except the continuation of their
status. We “hate” their behavior.
There it is…the neverTrumper finally gets to his point – Trump is (start the name calling). Am I the only one who gets that the Russians respond to force, or the threat force, because it appears to be in their nature. Trump has to make them think they have something to lose so he can begin his negotiations. That is the job of his surrogates. All of these people are just so sure they know how to be President. Their obvious ignorance should embarrass then.
The greatest show of weakness that the president could expose would have been his sacking of General Flynn, due to the pressure applied by the elite deep state and media talking heads, who are hell bent on his destruction. Russia will watch the deteriorating operation of the Trump administration and use the information to gauge how effective he will be as Commander in Chief. Right now Russia sees America tearing itself apart and will make their moves accordingly. As long as the civil war between the nationalists and the globalists continues to fester, it won’t matter how much of a military show of force the President can muster, our enemies will see through it and act accordingly.
Unfortunately, I fear PCR is absolutely correct. Trump is just a figurehead. The United States is really run by the Deep State.
When the next election rolls around remember: If voting mattered, we wouldn’t be allowed to do it.
If he’s just a figurehead, the “Deep State” and the entire world Leftists along with the ruling Elite sure seem to be wasting an awful lot of effort trying to get rid of him.
PCR has never been a NEVER TRUMPER. He went from a doubter to a supporter and now he’s trying to blame the deep state rather than admit he’s been conned like you Trump loyalists.
It’s the deep states or the Governments fault but in the next sentence he says, “Trumps own UN Ambassador and his own Secretary of State” and then “how can Trump improve relations with Russia when every one of his appointees want to worsen relations to the point of nuclear war”. Is he Flip Wilson “Da Devil made me do it” or “Please don’t throw me in dat dare Brier patch”.
BEAM ME UP SCOTTY
this was quite an acerbic rant from grampa Roberts.
I don’t think the UN matters that much on the world stage, except to maybe the pedos in power (they use UN soldier to shuffle around their victims), so Nicky Haley is a figure head.
Now Rex, he also allowed Trump to neuter the budget of the state department, so, he also can be ignored, why should we listen to a guy that does not even support his own dept by ensuring the budget does not get cut?
It does seem that Trump is pushing a rock up hill, especially with this shit fest about jr. that is a huge nothing burger.
BUT- Trump seems to have destroyed the ISIS boogeyman, down for the count in Iraq, soon to be K.O.’d in Raqqa, that counts for something on the world stage.
Let’s watch the left destroy it’s self and be happy with that.
