Using Intel, Intelligently

AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE, using information gathered by all sixteen military intelligence intel ops agencies, had been warning for weeks that the Russians were not bluffing, and that Russia was indeed going to lauch an attack-invasion on the Ukraine. Biden listened. Trump wouldn't have. Trump would have taken Putin's word for it, that no ivasion was forthcoming, that the CIA was full of it, seeing as how Trump was and remains Putin's errand boy and resident boot licker. Gathering together more than one hundred and fifty thosuand well armed folks hard on the Russian-Ukrainian border was good enough evidence for American intelligence, not undertaken for the purpose of having a picnic or reunion, U.S. spies adroitly figured. Many others, including "expert" analysts in America and Europe, figured otherwise, and were wrong. The same people who predicted and warned of impending Russian aggression told us in 2016 that the Russians were infiltrating the U.S. elections, trying to get Trump elected with a massive Russian top down online propaganda project, and that they succeeded, providing Trump's margin of illegitimate "victory". If you wish to argue the point, do it with the CIA and FBI, and good luck. True to form, head in sand for the sake of face saving convenience, our American conservative community, led by its radioactive icon Donald Trump, is supplanting reality with its own fantasy, revisionit propaganda. Russian election interference in 2016 thus becomes a liberal hoax, a hit job on Trump by the mainstream media, liberalism, the Chinese, and the CIA and FBI, all working in conspiratorial concert, the two intelligence agencies infested with radical left wing activists. Now, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, the ghost of Rush Limbaugh, among others of the unwoke sort, promulgates the false narrative on Faux TV that Russian aggression against Ukraine is irrelevant to American concerns. Trump calls Vladimir Putin, long his idol, "savvy", and "a genius", and brags: "I know him very well". Its a low bar, as they say. Barking the word "attack" into a secured telephone qualifies. Trump knows Putin well enough to lick his boots and kiss his ass, it seems. We may assume that a majority of the conservative community embraces all this nonsense. In fact, it is confirmed that Vladimir Putin has the approval of America's far right. But, of course, so does Adolph Hitler. They have a penchant for embracing nonsense, like stolen election theories, and such. Thus is clearly revealed, yet again, the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the American conservative community, formally manifested in the Republican party, made up mainly of white evangelical conservative Christians. Forty years ago perceptive people pointed out that the "moral majority" was, and still is, neither. The evangelical conservative Trump supporting community can justifiably claim to be, if not both Christian and Trumpist, then at least one, that being Trumpist. Unlike Donald Trump and presumably his supporters, sane, moral Americans consider the late Senator John McCain a hero, and consider Vladimir Putin a punk criminal, an unintelligent one at that.
