I knew it. Think the claim is a bit overblown, but still, why is it that liberals like Wesley Clark and Hillary Clinton that are the most gung ho for fighting the Russians? Even now you’ve got butthurt lefties like the remainers in the UK moaning about how Brexit ‘benefits Putin’ and disappointed Hillary supporters keep moaning about Trump wanting a ‘constructive’ relationship with him. Weird.
Come on.
It was actually British General Mike Jackson.
I remember that from reporting at the time.
Wasn’t Wesley Clark fired from his NATO job. Something about credibility.
