Russia! Russia! Forever: An Anatomy Of A Left-Wing Obsession

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's lawyers, despite all the pre-investigational hype and hagiography, spent 22 months and $40 million to find no evidence that the Russians swung the election to Trump.

In one of the notable political scandals in recent history, the present National Security Advisor and former Clintonite campaign operative, Jake Sullivan, used various surrogates to promote the lie that there was some sort of secret "Backchannel" electronic "Ping" communications between the Russian Alfa Bank and the Trump campaign and Trump Organization.

On March 6, 2009, in Geneva, to great fanfare, Hillary Clinton, the U.S. Secretary of State, gave Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov a red plastic button with the word "Reset" in English and, sort of, in Russian, to mark a supposed new partnership.

Five years later, Vice President Joe Biden admitted that 'reset' was an utter failure, given the 2014 Russian invasions of the Donbass and the Crimea, serial Russian hacking of American institutions, and Russian buzzing of American planes and ships.

Trump had killed more Russian combatants-perhaps 300 of the Wagner group mercenaries in Syria-than at any time during the Cold War.

In August 2019, Trump withdrew American participation from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty on grounds-supported by the Europeans-that Russians had repeatedly violated the agreements without serious American objections.

In 2018, Trump hit more Russian officials, oligarchs, and companies with new sanctions.
