One of the most under-discussed yet consequential changes in the American political landscape is the reunion between the Democratic Party and the country’s most extreme and discredited neocons. While the rise of Donald Trump, whom neocons loathe, has accelerated this realignment, it began long before the ascension of Trump and is driven by far more common beliefs than contempt for the current President.
A newly formed and, by all appearances, well-funded national security advocacy group, devoted to more hawkish U.S. policies toward Russia and other adversaries, provides the most vivid evidence yet of this alliance. Calling itself the Alliance for Securing Democracy, the group describes itself as “a bipartisan, transatlantic initiative” that “will develop comprehensive strategies to defend against, deter, and raise the costs on Russian and other state actors’ efforts to undermine democracy and democratic institutions,” and also “will work to publicly document and expose Vladimir Putin’s ongoing efforts to subvert democracy in the United States and Europe.”

The Neocons are returning to their Democrat roots.
“the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. Simple as that.
[The Neocons are returning to their Democrat roots.]
Completely predictable.
This also explains the do nothing GOPe Congress.
Kristol is a particularly NASTY piece of work. A real slimeball and weasel.
It’s all about continuing the 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders aimed at permanently changing the demographic makeup of the country.
...and the jackwagon full of SOX violations you'all wobbled in on:

We needed such people in the 1950s, but in 2017 this is nothing but a smokescreen for globalist supremacy, with "democracy" as the useful idiocy to fool useful idiots.
Our enemy today is no longer the Second World, but jihadis invading the First World from the Third World. If groups like ASD were to succeed in their goals, they would be the first to be slaughtered by victorious jihadis.
I was against both wars before they started. I thought we did have to go to Afghanistan, but we should have bombed the crap out of the Taliban / Al Qaeda and left. Iraq to me was unwinnable from the start. The problem has to do with how the British and French drew the maps after WWI. Iraq and Syria are really 4 countries (Sunni, Shiite, Kurd, Christian). Neo-cons in my opinion think everybody wants to wear jeans and eat McDonalds, that people in the Middle East want to be Americans. It was a pipe dream. My biggest reason for being against the war though is I knew that the left would politicize it and eventually the military would be facing another quagmire. That didn’t take to long. Don’t beat yourself up over the neo-cons, I think their influence is coming to an end...
Just remember, “Never Turn Your Back on the Mosque”

Their Mission:
"Keep the rubes distracted and fearful of war and threats of war
so we can more easily pick their pockets and take away their freedoms."
Agree about Kristol.
Stop trying to make it much more complicated than it is.
The uniparty is United.
They lost a lot of members, and had to pull back some of the folks pretending to play for the other team.
The neo-con artists were just democrats who migrated to the republican party to get the republican party to enter into endless wars in the Middle East. Thankfully, they are returning to their true roots.
Kristol’s the face of everything we hate about the Republican Establishment...he's leader of the ‘most obnoxious wing...’
That said, while Russia IS the excuse the Kristol/McCain types use to shake the taxpayer money tree and to over-fund the Deep State... we have to be careful NOT to let the pendulum swing to far.
Communism's not our friend... BUT they're also not the Bogeyman. Truth is somewhere in between.
Putin runs a country with a GDP about the size of Italy... he's foe - but NOT monstrous foe. He's not worth funding a massive paranoid surveillance State BUT ALSO NOT worth accepting as ‘friend’ at face value ...New lines are being drawn. We have time to get them right.
How much of a "foe" are the Russians, really?
