A delusional work of the new Democrat McCarthyism. --- The authors blame Putin for Russian law against leading children into homosexuality, for opposing US world domination, and for suspicious poisonings of three Russian traitors in England (one lethal), per accusations by Perfidious Albion propagandists. --- In condemning Russian wickedness vs Anglo/American virtue, the authors condone Western devastation of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Yemen, killing 1,000,000, traumatizing 100,000,000, and flooding Europe with refugees. WE did this -- not Putin. The authors condone our official policy of "targeted assassinations" and our slaughter of Pakistani civilians with drones. They forget our many covering lies: "We know where they are," Rumsfeld re Saddam's non-existent WMD. "A mushroom cloud" may be next, Rice. "In 45 minutes" Saddam could strike London, Blair. "Better to fight the terrorists there than here," Bush (no terrorists in Iraq till we invaded). --- Like other Dem writers, the authors assume that Trump and Putin, both evil, must be in league. Trump did business in Russia and complimented Putin; that confirms his guilt. --- (The authors acknowledge $2,975,000 Russian payoffs to the Clintons, mainly re shadowy Uranium One deal. Hillary bought false tales re Trump from a Russian source, and Obama's FBI used them as an excuse to spy on Trump's campaign. Bill Clinton quietly visited Moscow in 1969. Doesn't all that make the Clintons likely Russian operatives?) --- The authors reason that DNC emails must been hacked by Putin agents (not by murdered DNC worker Seth Rich, nor by Bernie people who had earlier hacked Hillary's voter lists, nor by anyone else. Dems withheld the hacked server from FBI examination; we have only the word of a firm they hired that signs of Russian intrusion were found.) The resulting revelation of Hillary's corruption tricked the voters into choosing Trump. Otherwise they would surely have picked the widely hated Hillary. --- This was a diabolical manipulation. Voters had no right to the truth. Hillary had them fooled till Putin interfered. She had pulled the wool over their eyes, and he had no right to remove it. But for Russian meddling, Hillary's deceptions would have prevailed and she would now be president. Oh, the tragedy! Oh, the Russian wickedness! --- What a lot of nonsense! Trump has major faults, but the Russians didn't make him president and don't control him.
