RUSSOPHOBIA

JOHN HELMER—Kendall-Taylor is also Ritter’s source for his assessment of Ciaramella’s training and expertise.  “As a junior analyst, the whistleblower worked alongside colleagues such as Andrea Kendall-Taylor, who joined OREA [Office of Russian and European Analysis] about the same time after graduating from UCLA in 2008 with a PhD is Slavic and Eurasian studies. A prolific writer, Kendall-Taylor wrote extensively on autocratic leaders and Putin in particular. Her work was in high demand at both the CIA and NSC, which under the Obama administration had undergone a massive expansion intended to better facilitate policy coordination among the various departments that comprised the NSC.” 

PHILIP A. FARRUGGIO—We still live inside of an Amerikan empire that celebrates the super rich and the use of war to control things. Look at how many phony wars were perpetrated since the last real war we were in, that being WW2: Korea ( 1950- 1953) to Vietnam (1961-1973), Dominican Republic (1965), Lebanon (1982), Grenada (1983), Panama (1989), Iraq (1991), Somalia (1993), Haiti (1994), Bosnia (1994), Kosovo (1999), Afghanistan ( 2001-), Iraq ( 2003-) and now Syria ( 2014- ) .Our troops have always been sent into areas we had and have NO business being in! Yet, it seems the suckers… sorry, the voters, don’t seem to care.

ROB URIE—This is to suggest that it certainly makes sense that the Russian political leadership would want to keep American militarists, a/k/a the Clintons and their neocon ‘crazies,’ out of White House. But as of now, the evidence is that the Russians changed no votes in the 2016 election. As far as inciting dissent— the charge that protests were organized by Russian ‘interests,’ not only does this reek of prior misdirection by the FBI and CIA, but there is no evidence that any such protests had an impact on the outcome of the 2016 election.

RUSSELL BENTLEY—Ukraine is now a satrapy that is controlled by foreign masters for their own benefit, and at the overwhelming expense of the citizens. The people of Donbass saw this trap and recognized it for what it was back in 2014, and we faced all-out war to break free from it. We will never, ever, willingly submit to the exploitation and outrages that Ukraine now suffers. If the ukrop nazis and their western masters could not force us to submit with war and terrorism, do you really think it is possible they will trick us with a treaty, “pencil-whip” us with pen and paper?

JEREMY KUZMAROV—O’Rourke, Klobuchar and Booker’s Russia-baiting reflects in part an attempt by the corporatists to try and channel popular enmity away from the domestic plutocrats who have rigged the American political-economy in their favor, and onto a phantom foreign enemy whose existence can be used to justify large-scale military expenditures.
