@caitlinjohnstone very thorough piece but I am not entirely convinced by your line of reasoning .
While Russiagate fever is very real and can be seen with varying degrees on MSM and even on TYT.
Why is it controversial to expect a response from USA president on such a controversial demonstration ( thought it maybe simulation) ? the sharp contrast of Trump's response on N Korea vs Russia on same topic is very clear.
A response doesn't mean a prescribed escalation but atleast acknowleding this new development but the non-response is certainly glaringly obvious.
What are you talking about? He's dangerously and unnecessarily and counterproductively escalating military tensions with both N Korea and Russia.
Maybe he (Trump) is and I have missed those videos, please post links where he is" dangerously and unnecessarily and counterproductively escalating military tensions with both N Korea and Russia"
Specifically with Russia.
