Should we fear Russia?

RUSSOPHOBIA

FOREIGN POLICY MAY BE SET BACK DECADES

 

 

 

Russia is being portrayed as the biggest threat to the well being of the United States. It has eclipsed North Korea, ISIS, and a nuclear armed Iran as the ultimate enemy of America. Is this really a realistic view of the world? What exactly is Russia accused of doing? We do know that emails from the Democratic National committee were captured, transferred to Wikileaks and made public. This may have discouraged  former Bernie Sanders supporters from voting for Hillary Clinton. Where the emails altered? NO. Where they fake? NO. Should the Bernie Sanders supporters have been made aware of the favoritism of the DNC? YES. If these emails were revealed by the New York times or the Washington Post would anyone have right to complain.? Probably not. But the story is that the Russians captured the emails and gave them to Wikileaks and this is supposed to make it a serious crime. If this information was sent to the New York times or the Washington Post would they have published it? NO. If it was emails from the Trump campaign, would they have published it? YES, in a heart beat, because the of the Public's right to know. The hypocrisy is just too much to comprehend.

 

Did the Russians have an AXE to grind with Hillary Clinton and Obama? Yes they did. The Obama administration directly interfered in foreign elections, by actually paying for and having people on the ground, in Egypt, Israel, Ukraine and Russia and probably many more places. Not one word of this has been mentioned by the mainstream media. Is it not ironic, that they have failed to compare the possible actions of Russia with our own countries actions in foreign elections. Have they become the willing accomplices of not only the democratic party but of its foreign policy as well?

 

The using of Russia as a prop to damage President Trump and his administration may have lasting consequences for our foreign policy, with not only Russia, but the rest of the world as well. They may have a much more objective view of American politics from afar and may come to understand that policy is now set by the media and the behind the scenes players, who believe they can use Russia as a weapon to weaken and hinder the Trump administration's agenda and all else is irrelevant. In their zeal to destroy Trump they are willing to put the country and the world in a much more dangerous place.
