Romper Room out of control.

I'm not an expert but I bet the Russian assessment on the US and their allies is that they're dealing with erratic, dishonest and dangerous basket cases.[1]
Exhibit A: Mike (we dictate, you obey) Pompeo, Hillary (“We came. We saw. He died.”) Clinton, Mike (kill more Russians) Morell, Nikki (U.S. go it alone) Haley, and Victoria (“Fuck the E.U.’) Nuland.

Just from the dream time, I get the strong feeling that Russia sees that everything has to be worked on from a long-term view in the romper room.. In Russia and China the leadership is not subject to rapid turnover, and to a certain extent, Russia can let the Western democracies disrupt themselves as much as we will.
So in this way, although the temptation to react must be real, the long range planning their General's make can look for the opportunity as it comes >> like Crimea when USA was busy interfering and changing Ukraine.

This constant churning in our system makes for flexibility and adaptation in the long run but it also is susceptible to allowing for side entry to the presidency. Not ipso facto bad and, in Trump's case and in our time (Reagan's time too), a positive blessing. After reading about Arkansas and Clinton's rise to power, I thought that each president's home state may not send up another president until the other 49 have. This allows for each state to be put under the microscope with Arkansas, in particular, providing a fascinating glimpse into state-level corruption. Trump has done the same for national politics. The IC and FBI are proving to have amazing corrupt components just as there were rotten apples in the Arkansas State Highway Patrol.

Trump has some real limitations in my mind but then Johnson, Clinton, Carter, and the Bushes had some serious political credentials but proved to be every bit as much rubes and clueless ones as Trump supposedly is, as Dems would call it anyway.

Obviously, now is a time where we are blessed with, on balance, a formidable outsider. I'd like him to be tougher on Sessions and Rosenstein but it's absolutely wonderful that he's driving the Dems crazy. I do think he's at the beck and call of the Jewish lobby and Bibi has Donald on speed dial, which I don't like, but then Trump is no different on that score than any Western politician.

I don't think the Russians were looking for an opportunity to make a move on Crimea. I think they were content with the lease status quo that gave them all they wanted out of a naval base. Similarly, I think the Russians earlier believed the U.S. assurances that NATO wouldn't expand east. The U.S. betrayal on that point surely alerted the Russians to not foolishly rely on U.S. forebearance vis-a-vis Crimea. In fact, the absence of U.S. assurances on the future Russian presence in Crimea as "we" brought down the elected Ukrainian government was what I thought at the time was a key omission on "our" part. The U.S. could easily have said to Russia, "Don't sweat Crimea and your base there" but we resoundingly failed to say that. Thus, Putin's move in Crimea was defensive and with an excellent understanding of U.S. treachery. He knew what was coming and wasn't about to casually give up a key strategic base. "Oh. You landed marines in Ukraine? I guess we better leave then."

Yes, just the other day I was looking to see about the arrangements of Presidential libraries. I suspected they would be in the home territory, so I wanted to see when Obama's library would be; and it's not in Indonesia, Kenya or Hawai or Hawaii but Chicago of course.
The system started in the depression with Herbert Hoover otherwise those States Tenessee and Virginia would have a lot of libraries.
The idea of exclusionary zones from States with recent the corruption buildup is interesting.
The Bushes were pretty scary to me, they seemed tied to the Illuminati and the expansionary Zionism since Zapata holdings and Bush Senior away back.
I keep wondering what it is the Zionists have over America; and whether it would be possible to eliminate the Federal reserve from private hands.
I checked out the Gold price for interest and by the look of the graph it should be a good buy time about now.
