If you were one of those hypothetical suckers chained to the inside of Plato’s cave, and instead of shadows projected on the wall in front of you it was a 24/7 stream of CNN headlines, you would probably think that Russia was the biggest scariest thing on the planet, second only to Trump’s intense desire to grab illegal immigrants by the p%&&y and chuck them over an 80ft golden wall.
It’s weird because there are no Russians pushing to get into the US, killing young women on piers, flying planes into tall buildings and mowing people down with trucks. Sure, Putin is a despot- but he’s also pretty great in a lot of ways. The Russians don’t let Monsanto poison their farmlands and extort the farmers. On the other hand, he does throw journalists in prison on spurious charges. But then, so do the English. Also, we have actual tangible evidence that a former British spy did interfere in the 2016 election. Remember Christopher Steele? Hmm?
Well, it’s no mystery really- all of this brouhaha is not about national security. It’s about undermining Donald Trump, which is pretty damned petty since things are better in a lot of ways than they have been for a long, long time.
But there are real international threats that we should be worried about.
Here’s Fox News with a new chilling warning from the Pentagon about China.
