The article is a fairly long read. Not for those with the attention span of gnats. For those of you who can it's an interesting read. The author suggests, although not in so many words, that the American News Media does not have American interests at heart.

I call them the Enemedia, because they are. They are anti-american and take every opportunity to make the United States look bad.

He also suggests that the CIA is just a tiny bit less than competent.

Ya think?

What it all boils down to is that Russia's bark is a lot worse than it's bite...and always has been.

The last paragraph sums it up fairly well.

  • Russia today is what it always was – a Potemkin village hiding a nation in a state of suspended collapse. The sole thing keeping it up is brutality toward the ordinary Russian and threats against the rest of the world. This works only because the West allows to work – doing favors for the vozhd of the moment for the sake of peace and quiet, throwing our hands up and wailing whenever he shakes a rubber doomsday machine in our direction, and consistently selling the Russian people short. That's the way it was during the communist epoch, and that's the way it is today.

you cannot rule a modern state as a medieval tyranny. All that you can do is remain one step ahead of chaos while faking out both your own people and the world as a whole.

And this is why dictators do not last long. Deception and clever positioning and good Propaganda is what allows a leader to stay in power for more than a few decades. Brut force only goes so far. @ironshield

the problem they have is with the world rule.
they still think it's possible.

Just a side note regarding the end of your post

That's the way it was during the communist epoch, and that's the way it is today.

Looking at these things now, I feel that the only difference from the old communism and the new capitalism is that then people were not allowed to talk. Now they can talk but nobody is listening to them :))

I think Pompeo as Secretary of State after being Director of the Central Intelligence Agency will be able to call a bluff by a foreign power because he will know how well they can really back it up. One can only hope.

the CIA has a long and glorious history of fucking up.
the constantly OVER estimate the capabilities of Roosia.
read the article for details..I found it to be amusing.

Well, yah, but look who has been running it for the last 30 years. Establish darlings for the most part. Clapper the worst among them.

Nice post @everittdmickey

He just said that this was not to spam, like it is even needed to mention it...
