Say, I were a
member of the national security team seeking to protect the president – and our very
democracy – from harm.
I would be
building out defense strategies upon an imagined scenario, to wit:
That Russian
agents, similar to those who traveled to London and killed Putin foe Litvinenko,
were to target our president with a deadly poison, and then in the aftermath,
set murder evidence traps that lead to those Democrats who have called for
severe censure, if not removal, of the head of our country.
Republicans, who
have to date shown zero interest in demanding thorough investigations in
matters that would threaten their purchase on power, would be willing dupes to
this scenario.
If the objective in the "War With the West" is to destabilizing a democracy in the most devastating way, what better plan than this? Just try to imagine the repercussions of such an attack.
The threat is
before us, not behind us. Isn’t it time to start to get ahead of this story?
