“Unelected husband of
Ivanka Trump sat down with Sergey Kislyak for '20 minutes' “
Even if this were one of those rare times that you got your
facts right, the obvious response from a thinking person is, "So
what?"
Russia is part of the world in case you hadn't noticed.
And a rather important one. Becoming more so.
We want people to talk to each other, not huddle in dark
corners making paranoid guesses about each other.
This stuff is sick, 1950s' McCarthyite demonization.
It almost reminds me of events, some years ago, down in the
Bible Belt of the United States – which includes places where millions actually
do believe that the Second Coming is coming soon.
The Procter and Gamble corporation had a lovely traditional
logo of a moon and stars, quite charming. But the "Second Coming"
crowd decided that it represented devil worship and conducted a big, intense
campaign against the company.
Oh, and the same fate befell J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter
books in that neck of the woods. They were removed from some libraries and
schools.
The world, sadly, has great numbers of blindly-unthinking
people, and that's the main audience for all of this utterly stupid
Russia-contact, Russia-hack, Putin-Trump rubbish.
