Russian Official Cancels U.S. Visit, Saying 'Second American Civil War' Is Underway
Newsweek ^ | January 10, 2019 | Tom O'Connor

A senior Russian official has canceled a planned visit to the United States, claiming he feared a second civil war being waged by opposing political forces there.

Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russia's Roscosmos State Space Corporation, who served as deputy prime minister until May 2017, said Thursday that rising tensions between Republicans and Democrats were leading to a breakdown of U.S. society. This included the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), one of many federal agencies affected by a government shutdown due to an inability for the rival U.S. parties to agree on funding for a border wall proposed by President Donald Trump.

"I think that America is actually engulfed by its second civil war now," Rogozin told the Rossiya-24 TV channel, as translated by the state-run Tass Russian News Agency.

Let the tumbrels roll for the seditionists in the Media and the Democrat Party (but I repeat myself...).

This is overstating it by a factor of 10,000. The average American could care less about the political inviting between Democrats and Republicans. They care more about what’s on TV tonight and where should they go for dinner tomorrow.

True, there is a civil war going on in this country. But only one side is doing all of the damage, and it’s not by the good guys.

You are correct. Ask the average American about the government shutdown, or about the wall, or about Ocasio-Cortez.

You’ll get the same answer in each case: “Huh? What?”

Nothing will matter to that average American until he goes to his local grocery store, and finds that its shelves are empty. Then all hell will break loose. But not before.

Nah. He’s an amateur. Compared to a place like Russia, any free country looks like it’s in civil war. A govt shutdown in Russia? Impossible!

May not be 100% right, but it ain’t a 100% incorrect either.
