DONALD Trump's closest politial ally has rubbished Russia's claims of military might as he angles for a top job in the Republican new administration.

Former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani said the Kremlin's aggressive rhetoric was all bluster, suggesting Moscow did not pose a threat to the West.

Mr Giuliani, who is being lined up for the job of Secretary of State - America's equivalent of foreign secretary - blasted: "Russia thinks it's a military competitor - it really isn't."

But the senior Republican also attacked Barack Obama for allowing Vladimir Putin to seize on instability around the world to increase his power.

He added: "It's our unwillingness under Obama to even threaten the use of our military that makes Russia so powerful."

Mr Giuliani, New York's mayor at the time of September 11 attacks, is known as a hardliner on national security matters.

"And all they get is #*$* from the West."

Well, there was that whole Communism thing.

I'm sure that Russian propaganda must have had some effect, both direct (trolls) and indirect - there's a damn load of “international news websites” that mix quasi-conservative/anti-bankster/anti-globalist narration with “Putin is the real leader of the free world” nonsense.

But the key issue seems to be propaganda of the left/mainstream media. Several years ago there was a reset button, gas deals etc. but recently the left in America and quite a few prominent EUnuchs have started ranting (despite doing barely anything to actually oppose him) about evil Putin. So it seems when msm/”establishment” say:

1. Homos are cool.
2. Trump is a racist.
3. Putin is evil.

Many people assume that if 1 and 2 are bullshit then 3. must be bullshit too. It's good that people loose trust in the mainstream media but beyond that there's a huge ocean of “alternative sources” and a lot of them are crap too. Another example is Le Pen, I see her getting more and more fans here and there... I'm not an expert on French politics but she seems to be some damn national-socialistic creep. But “elites” don't like her so she must be fine. Well, it's not that simple.

My understanding of Europe and France is there really is a right wing there, in the model of national socialists and black shirts. So while the are nationalistic (as opposed to the left’s internationalism) they are still anti-Jew and anti-American.
