The OP-ED is worse than you imagined

The anonymous opinion piece in the New York Times is not just a distraction to the Kavanaugh hearing, it is something much worse. Next month Russia is set to engage in its biggest war games since 1981. They have added significantly to their naval presence in the Mediterranean. Their show of military might is when all three branches of our government are in some sort of crisis. Also, don't forget Trump's NATO antics which effectively morally weakened the alliance. At this point, if you are a foreign power, who looks more powerful to you: The United States or Russia? With whom will you ally? With whom will you offer intelligence? 

I'm not saying they knew someone would publish an op-ed, but they knew that the administration would be in disarray further allowing them to make their power grab in the world. Is this revenge for Bill Clinton going back on his word to Boris Yeltsin that NATO wouldn't expand? Russia is showing who is in charge in the world by bringing back the former "glory" of the Soviet Union while our government falters. If you were to tell me I'd ever write something like this, I would say "No way. I am not a conspiracy theorist."

I really think these collapsing dominoes are in line with Putin's master plan, and it's unfolding perfectly for the Kremlin. The question now is where, when, and how will it all end?
