It is never wise to try to corner a bear.

ARE DEMS AND NEO-CONS WILLING TO RISK WAR FOR THEIR POLITICAL ADVANTAGE?

ANYTHING TO STOP TRUMP

 

 

 

As predicted, Vladimir Putin is upping the anti against the United States, NATO and the west. We see Russian jets buzzing U.S. ships in the Black sea, Sweden  re-instituting the draft for both men and women, Russia re-deploying short range nuclear weapons and possibly restarting nuclear tests. Trump has been encouraged to call Putin a war criminal, murderer, and all kinds of personal insults just to prove to the left and the neo-cons that he will be tough on Russia.  This is all brought about, because Trump voiced the idea that there could be better relations with the Russians. This is last thing that anyone in establishment politics wants. Why?  

The policy of containment, instituted by the foreign policy experts that have directed our policy for the last 35 years do not want any Détente with the Russians. They believe they can push the Russians into a corner and box them in and keep them there. The Russians wanted to work to become a member of the world community, they probably would have had a better chance if they would have continued to embrace Communism. After all, China and Cuba, both still communist governments, seem ok with these same experts. Anyway, Putin has basically stated he will not accept being encircled by NATO, will resist attempts by the U.S. State department to interfere in the elections in Russia and their neighbors. He has made it clear he will interfere in the elections in the west, just as they have to them. So you can expect an escalation of tensions in Europe, with our armed forces in the Black sea and in the middle east. Do not be surprised if you see Russian ships in the Caribbean. I would expect we will hear John McCain exhorting Trump to shoot down some Russian planes that come too close to our ships. Then if he would do it, they would say he is trigger happy and about to start WW3. This would fit their narrative well.

Anyway, the idea is to restrain Trump from even talking to the Russians let alone make any overtures to minimize tensions. Expect things to get much worse, we may all be seeing civil defense drills with the kids under the desk, like we did in the 1950's. We have choices, are we willing to talk to the Russians and lessen tensions or will the Russian come to believe the only way to get respect and negotiation is to move the world to the brink of Nuclear war.
