against a planned purchase of S-400 surface-to-air missiles from Russia when President Vladimir Putin’s visits New Delhi this week, saying such an acquisition would attract sanctions under U.S. law."\

Big deal. Other countries can avoid US sanctions by setting up a corporation through which any one can conduct business with India, Iran, and whomever to circumvent the paper tiger's sanctions.

It's almost like we think it's still the post World War II era and we don't realize that the rest of the world could not care less about the US these days. We are a joke. And we did it to ourselves. And, no, we would not have been less of a joke if Hillary were President. Or Obama. Or Bush 43.

Putin says calm down

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that the United States should bring a halt to internal political infighting which he said was poisoning U.S. relations with Russia.

India buys Russian anyway

The United States has warned India against a planned purchase of S-400 surface-to-air missiles from Russia when President Vladimir Putin’s visits New Delhi this week, saying such an acquisition would attract sanctions under U.S. law.

this sound familiar

Turning her attention to Corbyn, a common target throughout the speech, May hit the dovish Labour leader over his vow to only approve military action if the UN security council agrees, which would give Russia a veto. Corbyn cannot be allowed to “outsource our conscience to Kremlin,” May added to much applause from the Tory members.

excerpted from the book
Trading with the Enemy - The Nazi - American Money Plot 1933-1949
by Charles Higham
Delacorte Press, 1983

Preface

p xiii
...a number of financial and industrial figures of World War II and several members of the government served the cause of money before the cause of patriotism. While aiding the United States' war effort, they also aided Nazi Germany's.

p xiv
It thus came as a severe shock to learn that several of the greatest American corporate leaders were in league with Nazi corporations before and after Pearl Harbor, including I.G. Farben, the colossal Nazi industrial trust that created Auschwitz. Those leaders interlocked through an association I have dubbed The Fraternity. Each of these business leaders was entangled with the others through interlocking directorates or financial sources. All were represented internationally by the National City Bank or by the Chase National Bank and by the Nazi attorneys Gerhardt Westrick and Dr. Heinrich Albert. All had connections to that crucial Nazi economist, Emil Puhl, of Hitler's Reichsbank and the Bank for International Settlements.

The tycoons were linked by an ideology: the ideology of Business as Usual. Bound by identical reactionary ideas, the members sought a common future in fascist domination regardless of which world leader might further that ambition.

Several members not only sought a continuing alliance of interests for the duration of World War II but supported the idea of a negotiated peace with Germany that would bar any reorganization of Europe along liberal lines. It would leave as its residue a police state that would place The Fraternity in postwar possession of financial, industrial, and political autonomy. When it was clear that Germany was losing the war the businessmen became notably more "loyal.''

Then, when war was over, the survivors pushed into Germany, protected their assets, restored Nazi friends to high office, helped provoke the Cold War, and insured the permanent future of The Fraternity...

the west wasn't so involved.

But yes the propaganda rivals that of Nazi Germany.

If Putin is Hitler, how was Hitler stopped? Pre-emptive military strikes--you betcha.

Sign the tax cuts?

I think we would have been in a constant state of unpleasant surprise at what Ms. “Progressive who gets things done” would have gotten done.

Definitely a must read because it sums up the reason for two years of non stop Russia Russia Russia.

Until the first seven days of September there was only circumstantial evidence that intelligence agencies worked with the party in power to undermine the opposition party candidate before the election and the president afterward.

The Steele dossier was paid for the Democratic Party and then the intelligence agencies were used to spy on Trump's campaign. This is watergate on steroids.

Real Evidence Emerges

On Sept. 5, The New York Times took the highly unusual decision to publish an anonymous op-ed article. Titled, “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration,” it had the subtitle: “I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.”

This is the deep state peeking out from behind the curtain and telling us that others are calling the shots. And instead of the country rising up to say that "no this is not okay" many people cheered that on because of their disdain of Trump and their belief that Russia did indeed put Trump into office. Why was it so easy to sell people on this? Because Hillary lost. But what if that was the plan all along? There is no way that Hillary would have been able to do the things that Trump is doing. Sign the tax cuts? Appoint people whose job it is to dismantle regulations? Sign off on gutting social security and the other social programs? Nope. No way she would have been able to get away with doing any of those things.

Finally. Would Hillary have tried to get a Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court? To do whatever it is that he is going to help do? No way in hell.
