General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you recall what Clemenceau once said about war?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: No, I don't think I do, sir, no.
General Jack D. Ripper: He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

While it may no longer be our precious bodily fluids under attack by the big bad Rooskies and their ever-scheming leadership, it is clearly our political system that is in the Kremlin's crosshairs.
However detached from reality such an interpretation might seem to a clear-headed American, that is precisely the notion that Hillary Clinton and her gaggle of political guinea worms have endlessly droned on about. Listening to the Clinton campaign, and its public relations employees masquerading as corporate media journalists, one would think that World War Three had already begun on the battlefield of US electoral politics.
And this is not by accident.
The Clinton campaign is trading in the worst forms of chauvinism, paranoia, and conspiracy theory in an attempt to deflect attention away from the rapidly expanding dumpster fires that are the series of scandals plaguing her White House bid.The Democratic Party conspired with the Clinton campaign to sabotage Bernie Sanders? Why, that's little more than a Russian-Wikileaks plot to expose, well, the truth. But still, you know, Putin!
The Clinton Foundation is exposed as a pay-for-play scheme involving some of the world's most powerful politicians and various other assorted degenerates? Why, that is undeniably the work of those borscht-eating ex-commies.
Hillary illegally destroyed emails that were already illegally being stored on a private server? It was her black predecessor's fault! But Putin was probably behind that too, somehow. Of course, Colin Powell should take heart - at least Ms. #ImWitHer didn't call him a superpredator.
The fact is that only the most dim-witted dullards are entranced by the shiny objects of Clintonian propaganda. The more sophisticated, or even moderately informed, political observers understand that all the talk of Russian espionage is an attempt to both deflect from the scandals as well as the fact that Clinton offers very little that is truly progressive or even moderately beneficial to the vast majority of Americans. She's a Goldman-Sachs Girl, and everyone knows it.
