Two points, upon further consideration:
1. Russia is an existential, not minor, threat to the corrupt, globalist, warmongers of the uniparty. They want to be the global hegemon that rules all nations. Russia has expressed implacable opposition to this global governance structure, advocating instead a multi-polar world in which every nation negotiates for it's own interests in a congress of equals.
2. Bernie would have won. After the universe endorsed him - what else could the Sparrow landing on his podium mean? - I was confident he'd win. But HRC rigged both primaries, and, it increasingly appears, tried and failed to steal the presidency, and when that failed, to take the president down. With respect, I don't think Trump and Hillary are equally terrible. Trump plays by the rules. She is deep state.
