The disgraceful irony is that while Russia is constantly accused, without evidence, of interfering in other countries, the abundant, irrefutable proof is the opposite: Washington and its Western allies have an incessant habit of violating and destabilizing nations and regions in presumed zero-sum geopolitical games.[1]This is really an amazing time in our American national life. The ruling class pore over the chicken guts that supposedly illuminate perfidious Russian interference in the 2016 election. Technically, the point of haruspicy was to divine the future but there was, for present purposes, the element of intense, wise examination of, well, chicken guts. An appropriate image for what passes for national media exercises in analysis and commentary.
All the while millions of foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation poured in, astronomical "speaking fees" flowed into Clinton pockets, and princely sums of money entered the bank account of Hunter Biden in Ukraine. Inter alia.
Hillary herself pointed out in choice words that after "we" arrived in Libya its national leader was killed and she showed what pleasure she took in this achievement. Does "interference" describe that? Or "murder"?
"Strain at a gnat but swallow a camel" doesn't begin to describe ruling class hypocrisy here.
