John Pilger wrote in 2016, “The CIA, Pentagon generals, and the pro-war New York Times demand Trump not be elected. These tribunes of 'perpetual war' are terrified that the multi-billion-dollar business of war by which the United States maintains its dominance will be undermined if Trump does a deal with Russian president Putin, then with China’s president Xi Jinping. Their panic at the possibility of the world’s great power talking peace – however unlikely – would be the blackest farce were the issues not so dire…”<br class="">
<br class="">
The Democrats' panic at the threat that Trump would abandon Obama's war provocations produced Russiagate. <br class="">
<br class="">
They should not be rewarded for that with control of the House.<br class="">
