Russia’s trolling bigly and we’re effectively neutered by Trump. So it goes. I can’t wait for this nightmare to pass.

Dear Russia and Putin: Fuck you. Can’t wait until you get what’s coming to you and not just by us here in the USA…the whole rest of the civilized world.

The problem here is that Spanky has so much trouble getting facts straight, the Russians could be right on this one.

Remember when Russia used this transparent tactic and everyone in the world knew it was bogus? And the US could go to the UN and make a presentation that was accepted as factual?

Thanks a lot Colin Powell. Thanks a lot Spankee.

I think this is more dangerous – it’s Russia trying to get its money worth with Trump by piggybacking his attacks on USIC findings and putting him in a position that is awkward to rebut.

The playbook is to push the same kind of thing over and over so as to “move the goalposts.” Even if there’s a refute from Hailey this time around, there’s no reason for Russia not to hit this kind of thing repetitively. (I believe they have re: poisonings on NATO soil.) Eventually, this admin won’t refute or, potentially, could even publicly agree, which would constitute a new level of success in Russian efforts to use its US (Trump)/ western European white nationalist politicians to undermine NATO.

I find the timing interesting/ scary. It could be now because of the heightened local division over family separation. There’s something in this very chilling review that Melania’s trolling wardrobe yesterday reminded me of:

One of the Nazis’ clever strategies, which they adopted immediately after assuming power, was to increase those pressures by enforcing “an appearance of unanimous support for the Third Reich.” Many Germans were not so much pro-Hitler as anti-anti-Hitler—and their opposition to Hitler’s adversaries aided his rise.

If you’re Russia, you might as well fire this off now to see how it plays in the US while Fox News is saying some Fed up sh*t about the 2,300 kids.

Someone is looking for the vial that Colin Powell held up to justify the last incursion in the Mid East dealing with Iraq. I hate to admit it, but those pictures did look phony. As they say “there are some problems with the gas cannisters” Ya think.
