SHTF: What can you tell about the state of relations from a string of deaths?
At home in the U.S., the rhetoric against Putin has never been stronger. The hacking narrative continues to be in use, and behind the scenes, tensions are boiling up in every respect. Flynn was axed from Trump’s administration, and the struggle between deep state and head of state becomes all but transparent.
Elsewhere, there have been Russian diplomats piling up dead, including the ambassador to the United Nations who had a heart attack in New York. The televised execution of a Russian diplomat in Turkey was seared into the collective consciousness. More quietly, there were other deads, too, in Moscow apartments and hotel rooms.
Now key opponents of Putin, and Western-sponsored supporters of Ukraine are winding up dead. This will change the narrative. Is this Russian intelligence evening the score, or is it CIA framing their adversaries?
The answers are nebulous, but it is clear that the Cold War is back on. MORE
“it is clear that the Cold War is back on.”
Way to go Dems
Good thing for the Dems and certain RHINOS that Trump doesn’t clean house the same way Putin does…
Clinton, Bush and Obama kill hundreds of thousands of civilians in the MENA and Afghanistan, level dozens of cities, and force millions to flee the chaos, and no one cares. Putins offs a few of his political enemies, and he is the monster.
You need to clean up your act.
Can we please send them George Soros. They’ll make him disappear forever like the Mafia did with Jimmy Hoffa.
Tensions boiling? Cold War revisited?
Oh, the kettle of irrational is certainly brewing. Bubbly, teaming over with infractions, lies, and misconceptions, the pot is getting ready to disengage from its contents with fury. Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy times the geography of offices here and abroad is the portfolio. Shall we really go nuclear Putin? Xi Jinping? Perhaps you, short, fat man in the abyss of the northern wasteland? Let’s hope they don’t underestimate their adversary. All it takes is an order, a few buttons pushed, and then the apocalypse. No troops or tanks needed. So sad. Sadder would be my luck of disappearing in a burst of light.
Vlad must be suffering from Clinton envy.
The latest murder is weird. A little history on the victim.

See, snowflakes? That’s how Russia hacks elections. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

Every time Clintons off someone Hillary calls Putin and gives him a good dose of neener neener neener.

Just for the record … I think Vladimir Putin is a wonderful person and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about him.
