While the democrats secretly hope that Robert Mueller can prove that President Trump is some sort fo Russian asset, the Kremlin is making terrifying threats against the United States.

The absurdity of Mueller’s conspiracy cabal aside, the tension between the United States and Russia is at a level likely not experienced since the end of the Cold War.  Not only have both parties withdrawn from an important nuclear arms treaty in recent weeks, but President Trump was dealt an ugly hand when former President Obama took a few parting shots at Putin on his way out of the Oval Office.

Now, in a risky escalation of rhetoric, Russian President Vladimir Putin has made an overt and harrowing threat toward the USA.

Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered his version of a State of the Union address on Wednesday and included a threat to target the United States with ostensibly invincible hypersonic nuclear-capable missiles if the U.S. deploys intermediate-range ballistic missiles to Europe.

Putin’s threat was a response to U.S. withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty, which the United States has long accused Russia of violating. Putin claimed those accusations were false and suggested Washington was merely looking for a pretext to scuttle the INF so it could deploy land-based missiles to Europe.

Putin insisted Russia will not be the first to deploy ground-launched ballistic missiles in Europe but will retaliate if America does so.

Putin’s hypersonic missiles are believed to be impervious to current anti-missile arrays and batteries due to their unfathomable speed of travel high in the earth’s atmosphere.

If you tend to watch the commercials that mainstream media have made for themselves in recent months, you would get one, singular impression:  That every news station is the only one telling the truth.

“Facts” and “truth” have been the premiere marketing buzzwords for mainstream media PR agencies, who are living in a world where the President routinely has to correct the White House press stable whose facts are, by default, a little more dated than the Commander in Chief’s may be.  CNN’s “Facts Matter” slogan is just one such example of the blatant push to legitimize a company whose funding comes from the same corporate interests who’ve muddied the waters of the Washington Swamp.

If we’re unable to at least admit those facts, we have no chance of growing past this oligarchical system we’re obliviously meandering around in.

So, in order to keep those corporate interests happy, CNN has to keep the ratings up.  The best way to keep the ratings up is to produce salacious and addicting content, filled with inflammatory emotion.  (It’s the same reason that reality TV is so invasively popular).

And that is why we have been subjected to, on more than one occasion, homophobic rants on the possible sexual assault of Roger Stone in prison.

CNN again publicly fantasized about that “dandy” Roger Stone getting raped in prison.

This time, it was David Gergen, one of the far-left network’s ancient analysts, who has not said anything interesting or insightful in decades. His job is to pretend to be a Republican and then bash Republicans in the way his media masters demand.
