The only conclusion is that the American print and TV media is devoid of all intelligence, all integrity, and all self-respect.
Humanity has on numerous occasions narrowly missed nuclear Armageddon. Each time it was averted by military officers, both American and Soviet, who understood that the relations between the US and the Soviet Union were not that strained.
Today this situation has been radically altered by the corrupt American media, Democratic Party, and military/security complex, who, acting in behalf of Hillary’s political interest and the greed of the armaments industry, have demonized Russia and her president to the extent that malfunctioning warning systems or a temper tantrum of a crazed politician are likely to result in a fatal launch.
One can understand the determination of the military/security complex to protect at all costs its power and profit, and one can understand the Identity Politics-driven, unAmerican Democratic Party’s hatred of “Trump deplorables.” But the complicity of the media in the enormous lies that comprise “Russiagate” and in the demonization of President Trump as a traitor because he seeks understanding between nuclear powers instead of dangerous and irresponsible tensions that easily could result in the destruction of life on earth is inexplicable.
The only conclusion is that the American print and TV media is devoid of all intelligence, all integrity, and all self-respect. The American print and TV media is a collection of excrement that should be flushed down the toilet.
Caitlin Johnstone shares this view and expresses it even more strongly.
Here is an account of two Soviet military officers whose judgments averted nuclear war.
In the United States there is no respect whatsoever for facts among the presstitutes or even among Trump’s own government. That Trump labors on in behalf of reaching a less dangerous state of affairs between the nuclear powers is a sign of intelligence and humanity that is missing elsewhere. If the American people do not support Trump’s efforts to normalize US relations with Russia, the American people are digging their own graves as well as the grave of humanity.

It is always refreshing to read the insights of Dr Roberts.
Our ability to ultimately avoid Armageddon seems non-existent. And the need of the ‘military/security complex to protect at all costs it power and profit’ hits at the very heart of the problem.
The pattern of history shows power (manifested as interest) to be present in every conflict – no exception. Eventually every nation/civilization gets the war it is trying to avoid. That is why ultimately Deterrence will fail. But decision-makers delude themselves into thinking they can avoid that fate – they can’t.

I think that man – Putin – is going to finish up speaking for all of us, us the people of the world.
Who else on the world stage talks sense? Trump you may say but he’s marginalised isn’t he, under constant attack. Putin manages to stay aloof, retain his integrity.
