It must be hard on The New York Times<\/em> editors to set their hair on fire day after day in their effort to start World War Three. Today\u2019s lead story, Russian Threat on Two Fronts Meets Strategic Void in the U.S.<\/a><\/strong>, aims to keep ramping up twin hysterias over a new missile gap and fear of Russian \u201cmeddling\u201d in the 2018 midterm elections.<\/p>\n

The Times\u2019s<\/em> world-view begins to look like the script of a Batman sequel with Vlad Putin cast in The Joker role of the cackling psychopath who must be stopped at all costs<\/em>! America\u2019s generals have switched on the Batman signal beacon, but Donald Trump in the role of the Caped Crusader, merely dithers and broods in the splendid isolation of his 1600 Penn Avenue Bat Cave, suffering yet another of his endless bipolar identity crises. For God\u2019s sake, The Times<\/em>, shrieks, do something! The Russians are coming! (Gotham City\u2019s Chief of Police Hillary said exactly that last week in a Tweet!)<\/p>\n

I think they misunderstood Mr. Putin\u2019s recent message when he announced a new hypersonic missile technology that would, supposedly, cut through any imaginable US missile defense. The actual message, for the non mental defectives left in this drooling idiocracy of a republic, was as follows: Nuclear war remains unthinkable, so kindly stop thinking about it<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Mr. Putin\u2019s other strategic position is also misrepresented \u2014 actually, not even acknowledged \u2014 in Monday\u2019s NYT<\/em> propaganda blast, namely, to discourage the USA\u2019s decades-long policy of regime change here, there, and everywhere on the planet, creating a debris trail of one failed state after another. As a true-blue American, I must say these are two admirable propositions. Is it fatuous to add that atomic war is unlikely to benefit anyone? Or that the world has had enough of US military \u201cmeddling\u201d in foreign lands?<\/p>\n
