Putin.

Putin had a hand in Brexit. He has a hand in trying to get France to leave the EU. He so wants the EU to break apart.

NATO? If Trump had gotten back into the White House, NATO would already be ancient history.

Oh, here’s a laugh. Ever hear of Calexit? The attempt to get an initiative onto the California state ballot to break us off from the US and form a separate country? The head of the group working toward this cockamamie idea had his headquarters in ….. wait for it ….. Siberia.

So why in HELL would any of us go along with this idea to finish the work of the Civil War and diminish the USA in every way?

Please do tell us.
