OF THE
TIMES
"The scenario where a US-backed, US-supplied jihadist group in Syria uses US weapons to shoot down a Russian plane and then murders the pilot on the ground should be seen as a near-nightmare escalation, drawing the US and Russia terrifyingly closer to direct conflict."McAdams is not fearmongering; he is stating a plainly obvious fact. The Trump administration has just announced that it is restructuring its nuclear weapons policy to take a more aggressive stance toward Russia than that which was held by the previous administration. This is coming after this administration's decision to arm Ukraine against Russia, a move Obama refused to take for fear of escalating tensions with Moscow, as well as its decision to continue to occupy Syria in order to effect regime change, along with numerous other escalations. The Council on Foreign Relations, which is without exaggeration as close to the voice of the US establishment as you can possibly get, is now openly admitting that the "United States is currently in a second Cold War with Russia."
"We are in new cold war that is much more dangerous than the last cold war for various reasons. One is that the new cold war today, as we talk, includes three fronts. U.S.-Russian fronts, they're fought with hot war. That's Syria. That's the reckless NATO military build-up on Russia's western boarders, which has resulted in a situation today that ordinarily artillery, not missiles, ordinary artillery, can hit Russia's second city of Saint Petersburg. Just think about that and the instability. And the third front is Ukraine."
The memo details how Obama officials used the politically-charged dossier, which was given nearly $10 million from the Democratic National Committee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, to get a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to spy on Trump's 2016 campaign.The last are brave words. Right now Trump is probably strategizing for his very political life as to how to proceed from here.
It also revealed the FISA warrant wouldn't have been secured had the dossier not been used.
Chuck, Nancy, and their cronies are freaking out because the memo unearths deeply rooted corruption at the DOJ and FBI.
And if Democrats believe threatening Trump is a good idea, they have another think coming.
Comment: You'd think by now that Pope Francis would be far more sensitized to such information given the immense record of abuse the Church has been ignoring, enabling and facilitating internationally for so many decades...
