Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
In order to protect himself from the military/security complex, President Trump has abandoned his intention of normalizing relations with Russia. Just as the neoconservative ideology needs US hegemony, the military/security complex needs an enemy to justify the $1,000 billion annual budget. The Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama regimes have crafted Russia into that enemy. Trump intended to change that, but he has been prevented.
Russiagate is the orchestration used to force President Trump into submission.
As Stephen Cohen, a few others and I have emphasized, the risk of nuclear war from the orchestrated confrontation with Russia is the highest ever with the situation today being more dangerous than during the Cold War. During the Cold War, both Washington and Moscow worked to reduce tensions and to build trust, but in the 21st century Washington has destroyed trust.
The Russians have been very patient and have avoided belligerence in response to Washington’s insults and provocations, but now they announce “Russian patience is at an end.”
Andrey Kortunov blames Trump, but the problem is the neoconservatives, the military/security complex, and presstitute media, a combination that has proved itself to be too powerful of a combination for a mere president. The Democratic Party and the liberal/progressive/left are complicit in the tragedy. They have permitted their hate to subvert judgment with the consequence that nuclear war again threatens life on earth.
One Snub Too Many: Kremlin Ready to Turn Against Trump as Patience Coming to an End
The Democrats and their friends have already done what they’ve projected onto Trump.
Constant Cabinet changes don’t help and the inability to leash the CIA is real problem.
Broken? Or, Bought? Or, maybe terrified (for his own life … see JFK/CIA etc.)
Regardless, it seems to many that supported/voted for him (like, me) at this point view him as a failed President.
Or, maybe I should give him his remaining two years of Bullshit Tweets and hope’n’pray for something good to happen?
I think I’ve always thought this is what the country would look like under President Trump. Two years later, The world is hurtling to chaos and Trump has done what he can to restore, but in the end, the wave was bigger than he was. Still, I would want no other leader at the helm of the ship as the storm gets ready to overtake the country.
Just had rotator cuff surgery and my head is dizzy from the meds, love to all and by all means, keep your powder dry.
Take care and
” We got this dude, Not Sure, an he is the smartest dude alive, and he is gonna fix this shit, the crops are going to grow”
Well, that’s one take. Another take is that Trump knew exactly what to say to get elected by the Conservative majority, but never intended to do what he said. I can’t imagine anyone serious about normalizing relations with Russia appointing Haley, Bolton or Pompeo, etc. etc.
PCR needs to go lay down and take a rest as he is now writing complete BS. Any actor in the oval office is owned by the MIC and the banks, get over it, stop pretending. It is what it is and PCR the apologist can’t put a fukkin band-aid on it.
Don is a puppet of Israel
Yeah, Trump fought the good fight against the swamp but they undermined him.
That’s what Trump apologists will be saying when the next occupant is installed.
Pay no attention to the monster behind the curtain.
