1) You know what, this brings to mind a very strange point.

The Democrats have been screeching about Trump-Russia for years now. They’ve screeched relentlessly about Russian election interference. But when it comes to the shit Russia has provably pulled...

2) Crickets.

Nothing but crickets.

Why is that?

Surely it couldn’t be because of Obama’s slapdash touch and go fly by night clusterfuck foreign policy, could it?

3) Let’s look at Syria. Syria was part of the Arab Spring, trumpeted as one of the Obama admins successes, as all across the Middle East secular dictatorships faced ‘grassroots’ uprisings for democracy, and to a country invariably were taken over by religious authoritarians.

4) Syria instead fell almost immediately into a civil war and humanitarian clusterfuck

Now, people want to say it was all about the oil.

I call such arguments childish, simplistic, and not helpful at all to understanding what actually happened.

5) After all, if Syria was about oil, then what about Bahrain?

They had their own Arab Spring, spearheaded by condemnations by... Oh, look at that. Amnesty International. Human Rights Watch. HMMMMMMM. Uprising of ‘Shia majority’ over the comparatively secular king.

6) What about Libya?

What about Tunisia?

These countries all invariably fell to chaos or saw religious autocracies gain power, and none of them were about oil pipelines, all of them were before their revolts western-backed dictators.

7) To note, I’m not speaking out in favor of dictatorships. I’m pointing out a pattern, as there is ALWAYS a pattern to these things.

So what’s the pattern here?

How does the pattern relate to Ukraine?

8) What did Hunter Biden do in Ukraine along with so many other Obama admin family members?

Cash the fuck in.

9) Oil pipelines in Syria? Look at how many Obama admin family members are involved in companies profiting off those if they’re ever built.

Let me posit to you a theory.

10) Obama is an ideologue. He has the same greed as can be expected of any man in his position, but first and foremost, he is an ideologue, raised to believe western foreign policy is responsible for all the world’s ills, and none more so than the backing of dictators in the ME.

11) The 20th and 21st century Middle East, on the other hand, has been DEFINED by its struggles between secular and islamic influences. A constant back and forth struggle, really, with few countries establishing a balance strong enough to resist being tipped one way or the other.

12) So, Obama is raised to believe that the way the West pushed the balance, towards the secular dictatorships, was wrong, and he was convinced by those surrounding him that fomenting democracy would bring peace to the Middle East more than these dictators ever did.

13) I mean, come on, you’re given a Nobel Peace Prize day one of your presidency, peace in the Middle East would be a helluva way to retroactively earn it. Surely the people of the Middle East will choose the path of peace and harmony if given the choice, right?

14) Even these guys in the Muslim Brotherhood that are so close to your admin and have friendly agen- ‘representatives’ in your administration are saying, help prompt the demonstrations, we’ll take care of the west, and the press will make you into a new messiah!

15) And the rest of your admin, Clinton, Kerry, Biden, they’re all in too, they back you 100%!

And then when it all goes down, their foundations and families move in and cash in. Oil pipelines. Stolen treasure. Human trafficking. Greed taken to its logical extreme.

16) Nowhere is this more apparent than in Syria, but by then your administration’s already done the same thing to Ukraine. Before, these other countries were typically former British Empire mandates and the like, and they don’t care, they’re cashing in just as hard!

17) But, Syria and Ukraine? That’s Russian influence you’re meddling with, and Russian Oligarchs opposing your admins’ families and foundations cashing in.

Both of them turn into outright wars. That wasn’t supposed to happen. You and Putin were supposed to be tight!

18) Oh, and it turns out, all those friendly people you’d been working with in the Middle East? Terrorists and backers of such.

Whoops.

McCain’s already been caught taking pictures with them while he was in Syria to lay the groundworks for his cashing in.

Whoops.

19) Now, Ukraine and Syria are a shitshow, EVERYONE on BOTH SIDES of the political divide in the US are balls deep in corruption, and they’re all looking at you to fix this shit.

So... what do you do?

20) Its the election cycle, you’re not running for reelection. You and your admin and your chosen successor invent Russian Election Interference.

And you get EVERYONE who’s EVER benefitted from your democracy crusades to buy into it, if they want to not get caught.

21) Romney? McCain? Why do you think they were so virulently anti-Trump? Because they were both knee deep in the corruption as well.

So strange how both of them seppuku’d their campaigns vs Obama and then they and their campaigns cashed in (look how manafort’s connected to them)

22) Russia was the scapegoat. They were the perfect scapegoat, because Russia is just as full of corruption, to the point that their oligarchs are sending parts of the Russian military to fight in Syria and Ukraine for them as ‘mercenaries’ to protect their investments.

23) Obama wouldn’t follow through for fear of fucking up his legacy by starting a war with Russia, but Hillary had no such qualms.

So, screech election interference, turn Putin to dust, and then spend so much time ‘cleaning up’ Russian corruption...

24) ... no one gives a fuck about the US corruption by the time that gets uncovered. Easy as pie.

And that’s why Ukraine is going to be a flashpoint. Because EVERYONE cashed in. State department, both sides of the House and Senate, goddamn EVERYONE.

25) So bringing it home, why the blind spot to Russia’s actual bullshit and the focus on made up bullshit?

Because selling Russian Interference is SAFER than people realizing corrupt Russians are protecting their investments from corrupt American politicians.
