Without Firing a Single Shot: This is How the Cold War Ends (for now).
President-elect Donald Trump has picked the worst picks humanly possible to sit on his future cabinet: Unvetted, unqualified quacks, wonks, polemicists, misogynists, racists, conspiracy theorists, oligarchs, TV personalities, kleptocrats, dipsomaniacs, and Islamophobes. We need not go into their names again as they have been painfully burned into our braincells.
Future Republican policies will intentionally weaken, sicken, pauperize, and demoralize the American people with their destructive health, social, and economic programs.
Friedrich Engels described this as social murder and a Russian TV host gleefully claimed that Trumps Cabinet picks will dismantle America.
Senior intelligence officials have already signaled their departure when Trump assumes the Presidency and only a sober and sane US Senate confirmation process might help mitigate the future catastrophes that await the American people. But hope is not a plan as the US Army taught your humble author decades ago.
The American people can thank Fifth Columnists like these two Republicans below for helping to hand our country over to the Kremlin without them having to fire a single shot.

In October 1962, President John F. Kennedy ordered a naval blockade of Cuba to prevent Soviet nuclear missiles from reaching an island 90 miles from our shore. The Cold War was inches or seconds away from becoming atomic hot.
So terrified were people of a nuclear war with the USSR during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Noël Regney (music) Gloria Shayne (lyrics) quickly wrote and produced this melodic song (in the key of C Major) as a plea for peace:
The Kennedy Administration competently and coolly resolved the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Kremlin withdrew their missiles from Cuba; the US in turn removed Jupiter nuclear IRBMs from Turkiye and atomic Armageddon was averted.
So, what would WWII hero and Cold Warrior President Kennedy say today about the United States of America and the individual pictured at the bottom?

(58,803 posts)I asked because I really liked this article, and I was irked that you didn't include the author and source
so I could read the whole thing.
Then I saw your citation list and realized that perhaps you authored it yourself.
I think it was well written and the concepts spot on.
So kudos to you Corio.

(190 posts)I have been saying for 40 years that Russia will undermine the US and it so it is. Putin did a successful campaign to find corrupt GOP politicians and business leaders.
Were done. Once the seditious traitors teamed up with the conmen
.the table was set.
Democracy dies. The US experiment fails due to corruption, greed and sexual perversion.
They will steal as much as possible while everyone is upset with the threats and scare tactics. Other government programs will be privatized , sold for pennies to oligarchs. Thugs, AKA The Felons FBI will threaten dissent and harass anyone who doesnt comply.
My heart is broken. I think of my grandpa who served in WW 1 and was so proud of his service as a young immigrant and all my male relatives who served in WW 2. Im still wearing my Harris campaign button. I will go to the streets and give my blood as a tribute to them. My adult children are watching and preparing. I have one grandchild. Ive told them if they need to escape, to do it.
Anyone else thinking the same?
