The Trump - Putin Summit

What is with the panic mode that every one in the press and in the intelligence community is enjoying in the wake of the Trump - Putin Summit? Nothing was decided. Nothing was signed. No one gave anything away. And yet, everyone seems appalled that our President actually tried to talk to the man with the power to destroy Europe and The US.

Forget the old adage, 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer' and realize that without dialogue, the danger of war increases daily. So what if the Russian Federation meddled in our election? It's not like we have not done the same to them and scores of other countries around the world. We are responsible for coups all over the world. The war on terror has been a war to destabilize governments throughout the Mideast. This did not stop terrorism, but it did cause a flood of immigration into Europe and the US, the greatest invasion of sovereign nations in history.

This is the kind of thing the US intelligence community has been up to in just the last 20 years. Knowing this, why should Americans believe the US intelligence community when they say Russia tried to influence our elections?

My belief is that they have an agenda, a plan for the world, that does not have the best interests of the United States as first and foremost in the scheme. I am beginning to believe that they want a new cold war with an old enemy or maybe even a hot war. What's the motivation for this you ask? Increased military and intelligence spending. Enrichment of defense based industries. Strengthening of the security industrial complex.

The horrors of a war with Russia should be enough to bring anyone to the peace table. Even if it were merely a ground war, the casualties would be astronomical. Both Napoleon and Hitler thought they could take Russia. Both were summarily defeated. And a nuclear war with Russia would devastate the entire planet.

We have to talk to them. Control your Trump Derangement Syndrome long enough to realize that this is what needs to happen. It's time to move on people. Trump was heroic in Helsinki. He and Putin broke the ice. Let's move forward.
