They don’t really care about Russia or Ukraine. But they care a great deal about hating Trump.
One big non-Trump Russiagate question is to what extent was our foreign policy skewed sideways because Hillary Clinton’s campaign decided to come up with a Russia conspiracy involving Trump from the same guy who tried to accuse Dan Quayle of buying cocaine.
The Dem position from 2008 through 2015 was that the Bush administration had ruined our relationship with Russia and that the Dems would rebuild it again. Hillary brought a ‘Reset’ button to a photo op. Obama was caught on a hot mic telling Russia’s Medvedev that he would have more freedom to make deals with Moscow after the election.
Then Hillary’s people invented Russiagate and suddenly every good Democrat hated Russians more than John Wayne, Chuck Norris and Patton combined. Supporting Ukraine, a country that the average Dem had given roughly 0000.1% of his foreign policy brainspace to, became an urgent rallying cry. Trans, BLM and Slav Ukrain bumper stickers overlapped on Teslas.
But just as Tesla’s political variables flipped, now that Trump has begun threatening Russia, Dems may learn to love Vlad again.
Trump Escalates Nuclear Brinksmanship with Russia Over Social Media Spat – Time
‘Reckless’ Trump flirting with a nuclear crisis’ after being trolled: military expert – Raw Story
For Trump, Russia’s nuclear saber-rattling may be a useful distraction – CNN
We’ve got CNN going with the ‘Wag the Dog’ approach, but Time and Raw Story, one of those Facebook clickbait operations, going right to accusing Trump of recklessness. That was usually the liberal narrative about Reagan during the Cold War.
At this rate, if there’s escalation, they’re gonna be rallying in the streets chanting, “No War With Russia for Bear Pelts” in a month or two.
But that’s par for the course in the Oceania media where he have always been at war and appeasing Eastasia. They don’t really care about Russia or Ukraine. But they care a great deal about hating Trump.
So this could be Reset 2:0: The Next Resetting.
