Your argument is confusing
We have the makings of a potential Soviet-style KGB with the deep state within the USA. Their main cover and narrative over at least the last 18 months is that Russia is a dangerous opponent who has committed acts of war against the USA by somehow meddling in our election.
So to protect our democracy from our own deep state, let’s indeed declare Russia a threat, as America’s own deep state wishes.
??
As I titled my little vanity quip on FR yesterday “cognitive dissonance” - don’t let the American Deep State’s use of “Russia, Russia, Russia” make you lose your perspective on *actual* Russia.
*Actual* Russia is still bad. It’s where the art of KGB-cheating is gate-kept for perpetuity.
Or in other words:
1) Indeed America is a swamp that must be drained. The draining starts here.
2) But the whole world is a swamp. The Putins and Xi Jinpings of the world are leeches who need swamps to thrive.
Why else were so many Russian oligarchs able to stash so much cash in Western globali$t banking establishments?
3) The less of a swamp we are, the less scum leaders like them can feed on.
4) Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuckin’s mantra is “What’s good for America is good for the world.” - I agree.
When America cleans up, the world cleans up.
Stop making sense - the people here who want to exchange nukes with Russia aren’t prepared for that.
