I never imaged that American politicians would be a bigger threat to me than the Russians. Maybe this was always the case but its never been so blatant.
They indoctrinated generations of Americans decades ago. Now they just have to sit back and laugh.
Their work is done.
You said it perfectly, escapefromboston!
I fear the RATS, many Rinos and the LSM, whose true allegiances and intentions are exposed more and more each day.
It’s Russian psyops that has been setting American against American- and obviously the European Union’s been doing the same thing, though for different reasons, which is how we ended up with a guy “formerly” from MI6 involved in this, and that big resignation across the pond. Not that the radical left and the so called anticapitalist “right” aren’t helping the EU and Putin with the task. ...
Remember Pootie Poot and George Bush looking into Pootie’s eyes to see his “soul.” Then Obama comes along and they get flexible, as in Obama and Hillary seeing his “soul” in exchange for some scratch.

There was a time when Russians were a major threat to us. But, when President Reagan called the Soviet Union an “evil empire”, he was talking about Soviet Communism and its globalist ideology.
The threat was disappearing when Reagan stood in front of the Kremlin with Gorbachev and was asked, “Do you still think this is an evil empire?”
“No,” Reagan replied. “That was a different era.”
And it truly was a different era. The threat from Soviet Communism ended when the Berlin wall came down.
Today, the Russians aren’t communists. They are not globalists. They are also not a Jeffersonian Democracy. So political opposition in Russia is a dangerous game.
They do not have freedom like we have freedom. Putin is, as Bill OReilly said, a “killer”. As has been every leader of that country since before we can remember.
We are talking about Russia. Russia! That country has a thousand year history and their history does not include a tradition of respect for rights.
So, they are not perfect. They are just Russia. We don’t need to be enemies. In fact, we can be friends so long as we understand them far better than establishment elites understand them now.
Think of Russia as your buddy that you have to bail out of jail every now and then. He does some things you don’t like. You would not ask him to babysit your kids. But he’s still your buddy, sometimes a really good friend who is there for you when you need him.
Wisely, you keep an eye on him and you give him a stern look on rare occasion only when needed. It’s not fun, but necessary. It only takes a few minutes for the message to get across, and suddenly you are good friends again.
I think we have a President who understands this, thankfully.
