“Russiagate: Pelosi Rules Out Impeachment. Libs Furious”
“Russia-gate” has always been crap. It resembles a light bulb that generates heat and no light.
However, there is another kind of Trump association which is indisputably true, and it is an increasingly dangerous one.
Trump has become the Neocons' Neocon.
Whether he always had that identity and just kept it hidden from us is unclear. That is quite possible.
But today, he and his chief appointments all talk and act as though they were card-carrying members of the ugly American political faction. Gold Cards, no less.
The Neocons despise Russia because its strength gets in the way of America's becoming the entire world's bully. Ditto, China.
Since the Neocons have always focused a lot of their interest on Israel, Russia is even more an object of contempt owing to its fighting terror in Syria and preventing Assad from meeting Gaddafi's fate. After all, this particular terror was an Israeli-sponsored project. Russia’s relations with Iran are another gigantic negative. You are supposed to treat Iran, a nation which attacks no one, as poison.
Despite Russia's good relations with Israel, which are carefully maintained by Putin, in private, there can be little question that Netanyahu and the boys deeply resent Russia for its efforts in spoiling their fun.
