Has Russia Finally Won The Cold War?

 

America's New Global Partners and 'Assets'

In a remarkable turn of events never seen in recent U.S. history, yesterday President-elect Donald Trump called the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin as 'asset' whilst at the same time rubbishing the U.S. intelligence community at home and abroad.

Has President-elect Trump decided to dispense with his own home-grown 'assets' in favor of the GRU and the FSB?   It certainly appears to be the case.  And all but fools could not see this in his statements.

I have said previously that his words and actions are treason - yet he will be confirmed as President of the United States in less than 10 days.

What happens when he orders his Senior Staff to share intelligence with the Kremlin - in direct violation of U.S. laws?

Will Congress actually wait until the protective umbrellas which safeguard democracy worldwide together with the economic institutions and global entities which are the pillars of the post-Second World War western world and the global community, the heart of its financial  and social stability and fabric, are so demoralized and undermined, that they just either 'surrender' to Moscow or just turn away from the United States and its core values?

Will Congress wait until this very last moment before stepping in to impeach the President?

 

There are many 'assets' in the Trump transition team who could be indicted as 'foreign agents' if not spies for Moscow - at this present moment  (if the definition of spying includes informal contacts with President Putin to reassure him that everything will be 'OK' after Obama leaves Office - just 'hang on' a little longer) - and before they assume responsibilities for the security of America and global nuclear security in less than 10 days time.

 

Mutual Trust and Collective Security

Allies of the United States  worldwide are, no doubt, in the light of Mr Trump's 'Tweets' and statements, assessing whether having the U.S. as an ally holds any value when the country is about to elect a President who will sell them all for slightly more than thirty pieces of silver, to Moscow, and in chains?

Why should they all not, now,  'cut a deal', cut their own deals, now, with Moscow, independently, before they are  presented by Moscows' man in the White House, as a 'fait accompli' a 'done deal', sold like slaves in the market place to the highest bidder - Vladimir Putin?

 

Night Of The Long Knives

In less than 10 days President Trump's 'team' will control all branches of  the government of The United States.

I told you before the election that Trump will, if elected,  as with the Fuhrer, purge every department of 'disloyal' Staff.

Will Congress actually wait until after Trump does this before impeaching him on one of many grounds - which exist at this very moment?

The answer is that they probably will wait until after he has 'purged' Federal government before acting.   [He will, in effect, be doing illegally what they have no legal authority to undertake.]

There is a unintended consequence of all this:

America is left with a fascist dictatorship - and all but those who do not want to see will know this to be fact.

In all honesty, how safe do you feel with President Trump having the nuclear codes - distrustful as he is of his own military and intelligence communities in preference to Moscow and its intelligence 'assets'?

 

The Role Of Congress

So what will Congress do? Very little it appears.

Yes there are planned hearings on the intelligence together with the  salacious and fantastical allegations about Trump whilst he was in Russia.   It would not be right to pre-judge nor prejudice the outcome of such hearings but I am alarmed that with the 'hard core' 'raw' intelligence about such serious matters already available - that a U.S. President has already been compromised before he assumes Office - it almost seems criminal to allow a 'fake' inauguration to take place simply (as was explained to me) to protect the institution of the Presidency and the Constitution of The United States itself.

 

Playing Devil's Advocate

If I were to put myself into the shoes of world leaders at present allied with the United States, I would seriously consider 'cutting my own deal' with Moscow (and Beijing) before I was 'sold out' by Trump and his incoming administration, sooner rather than later.  They may very well be offered better 'terms' now than those which Trump will 'negotiate' on their behalf - on behalf of 'the free world'  - and will simply 'Tweet' to Allies, in the aftermath, that they should 'not worry' and that he has 'taken care' of everything.
