Washington’s endless navel-gazing obscures the security benefits to be derived from Trump’s impeachment, in particular the potential avoidance of nuclear war. Let’s unpack that seemingly bizarre statement:
Traditionally, when a country is weakened from within, enemies seize the moment to attack. And yet, America’s alleged enemy, Russia, has not taken advantage of the three-year long crisis that began when the worst president in US history was elected.
It’s difficult to imagine how the beltway would present the 2016 election of Donald J Trump if Russia didn’t exist: it would have to recognize the fact that it was thanks to the Electoral College, created by the Constitution in order to mitigate the weight of the popular franchise, that Trump attained the White House, diminishing the clout of messages supposedly posted by Russian ‘bots’ to ensure his victory. Never mentioned is the obvious link between the gradual progress of NATO troops and tanks across Europe, coming to ‘rest’ on Russia’s western border.
But there is a new factor at work here: while accusing Russia of every imaginable sin, the Democratic Party is trying to tamp down the growing interest in socialism among American youth which, if recognized, would ensure it a win. A hundred years after the Russian Revolution, with most countries around the world— including those deemed underdeveloped practicing similar versions of democratic socialism— the US still claims that its ‘liberalism’ is a better response to the Enlightenment’s call for equality.
And yet, the president’s behavior has bolstered the power of the FBI and the CIA, replacing the ‘checks and balances’ of a tripartite distribution of power with a Janus administration, in which both investigative arms turn their weapons against the administrative and legislative branches of government.........https://journal-neo.org/2019/11/29/trump-s-demise-and-us-russia-peril/
