buchanan.org:

But before President Trump proceeds along the path laid out for him by his generals, brave and patriotic men that they are, he should discover if any of them opposed any of the idiotic wars of the last 15 years, beginning with that greatest of strategic blunders — George Bush’s invasion of Iraq.

"Who is behind the seeming conversion of Trump to hawk?

The generals, Bibi Netanyahu and the neocons, Congressional hawks with Cold War mindsets, the Saudi royal family and the Gulf Arabs ― they are winning the battle for the president’s mind." Pat Buchanan

PB must've missed what the liberals and democrats have been saying. And I'm not talking about our friends on this site who'd love to "Hang 'em High." By "'em" they mean the "Russkies."

Liberals are losing their minds over Trump and Russia

By Ryan Cooper

March 30, 2017

"An awful lot of American liberals have become rather possessed by the possibility that President Trump is somehow in league with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The circumstantial evidence that there issome sort of connection is rather strong ― Putin very probably helped Trump win in 2016, some Trump associates have a rat's nest of connections with Russia, and Trump himself has been relying on financing from Eastern Europe for many years.

But definitive proof has yet to surface. So in their quest to find a connection ― particularly some sort of direct conspiracy between Trump and Putin ― some liberals are abandoning good sense and becoming credulous toward nutty thinkers.

It's important to avoid this not only because clear thinking is important, but because it is the best way to root out the truth.

I'm reminded in a way of the Second Red Scare. The era of Joseph McCarthy is rightly remembered as a time of deranged witch hunts and fevered anti-Communist paranoia. Something that is a bit less remembered is that the Soviet Union did indeed have extensive espionage success within the American government, particularly during the Second World War. They penetrated the Manhattan Project, they scooped up all manner of non-nuclear weapons technology, they recruited one of the very top economic policy officials in the country, and on and on.

In other words, the defining characteristic of McCarthyism was not a false belief that KGB spies had infiltrated the government, because they had. It was paranoia and hysterical panicabout such spying, especially in how it was used to further partisan Republican ends. McCarthy was a fool and an incompetent drunk, but other Republican elites tolerated him and his accusations because he whipped up unhinged outrage against Democratic Party elites and policies. They loved it when he was falsely smearing Dean Acheson and George Marshall as secret Soviet sympathizers, or slagging public housing bills as the first step to Communism. It was only when McCarthy's erratic, diseased thinking, his constant lying and fabrication, and his utter investigative incompetence became undeniable that they began to desert him."

NY Times Shocker: Obama Left Behind Proof of Trump’s Connection with Russia

By proudlib

April 28, 2017

"The New York Times broke wide-open a story that reveals President Obama and his administration worked feverishly to spread out evidences of Russian election tampering, and collusion between Trump and Putin, all across government agencies in an attempt to preserve damning information that might have otherwise been lost. According to officials, this was done to both prevent the destruction of evidence before investigations could begin, and ensure that this kind of breach would never happen again."
