Russian social media disinformation campaigns and the increasingly hostile political battles they have fueled across America represent a “true constitutional threat” to the nation, contributing to COVID-19 vaccine skepticism and other serious issues in the military and beyond, a top Air Force general told The Washington Times.

In an exclusive interview last week, Lt. Gen. S. Clinton Hinote, the Air Force‘s deputy chief of staff for strategy, integration and requirements, warned that the internal divisions could fundamentally weaken the country and chip away at American moral leadership around the world. He spoke as the Pentagon was formulating guidelines to define and weed out what officials call extremist and anti-government views in the ranks.

Gen. Hinote made headlines by saying “we are in danger of losing our republic” after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol while Congress was trying to ratify the presidential election results. He offered similarly bleak assessments last week.

General, YOU are the threat to American moral leadership.
YOU are the threat to the Constitution.
YOU are the threat to the Republic.

No one called the Russian Collusion lie a Conspiracy theory.

Trump was President - and it wasn’t anti/ Government.

This sack thinks he can use a “crisis” to get more restrictions and more ostracization.

China and Russia are launching a pincer movement against us. Be very careful. And remember that Russia is NOT our friend. In fact Putin is a Communist and is practing a mass deception. And Russia helped Hillary Clinton create the Steele Dossier to create the fake Russia Trump collusion narrative.

Russian disinformation has nothing to do with vaccine skepticism. Prove it, General Bozo.

If only the leftists had this been wary about the Russians back during the Cold War. Instead, they wait decades after the USSR collapses to pull this crap, all while ignoring the very real and growing threat of China.

During peacetime, it is the adept political pole climbers, not warriors, that reach the upper echelons of the military. Many brave young people have died at the onset every major American war until effective leadership emerges. Very much doubt most civilians can comprehend the antipathy felt in the ranks and among most officers for this clown.

So if the Air Force is in charge of constitutional law then who’s in charge of the Air Force? Alan Dershowitz?

The General is a political hack. The #1 constitutional threat are woke warriors within the ranks. Hellbent on PC and CRT that they won’t even know how to fight.

I wonder what the Founding Fathers would think about a career officer of an American standing army lecturing about “constitutional threats.”

Oh ye, that is why they call a Ukrainian dude who undergone a CYA ‘future leader program’ - a professional revolutionary, as ‘Russian’.

I mean that clown Igor Danchenko, on McCain’s payroll who made up Trump’s dossier for Hillary.
