PATRICK MARTIN—The 2018 elections could well see a similar process, but in reverse. Angered by the tax cuts for the wealthy and big business, the gutting of social programs like Medicaid and food stamps, the attacks on immigrants and democratic rights more generally, and Trump’s threats of military violence and even nuclear war, millions of working people, however reluctantly, will go to the polls to cast their ballots for the official “opposition,” the Democratic Party, which does not actually oppose Trump at all.

It made large surface fleets and combatants obsolete.

Only an childish culture with a subconscious imperial collapse fantasy would discover that a Russian troll factory ran the above and conclude it represents an existential threat to the Republic. Indeed, such a response is characteristic of a people completely unwilling and unable to deal with any of the very real and pervasive problems plaguing our society.

STEPEHN LENDMAN—Trump was co-opted to continue the same imperial agenda, waging war on humanity, tolerating no sovereign independent countries. Dark forces in Washington reject normalizing Russia/US relations. Four undemocratic Dems (Feinstein, Markey, Merkley and Sanders) won’t change longstanding US posture toward Moscow.
