Before the self designated truth monitor and liberals attack let me state this is only an opinion piece shared for its entertainment value.
If that isn't clear enough I guess they can hide in their safe spaces from fear of my 1st amendment rights foolishly thinking I might abuse my 2nd, the 4th of which they might hope to violate as a result causing me to employ my 5th.

Thanks to my fellow brothers/sisters in arms I can still consider these most precious rights available to employ if ever needed!
Russia’s March to War
Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D. | Monday, October 17, 2016 at 7:30 am
The first time Elisabeth and I visited Russia, we stayed with dear friends in a Soviet-era apartment of St. Petersburgh.
We waited patiently in long lines like everyone else.
And everywhere we went, we thoroughly enjoyed the warm hospitality of a country still mostly enamored with everything American.
But on our most recent visit, all that had changed dramatically.
While strolling along a southern city’s beautiful embankment of the Volga River, one friend asked me, her voice cracking with emotion:
“Why do Americans hate Russians so much?
“Why in the world is Obama providing arms directly to ISIS?
My rudimentary Russian was good enough to understand the questions. But no language seemed good enough to provide simple answers, except to say “it’s not true.”
From there, we went to Zheleznovodsk, a cluster of mineral water spas in the Caucasus Mountains.
Thankfully, everyone abided by the golden rule that health — not politics — was the main topic worthy of discussion.
In the Caucasus of Russia. Countryside beautiful. People very friendly. But any talk of U.S.-Russia relations potentially unpleasant in the extreme.
But there was one exception. Our massage therapist always had his radio tuned to talk shows with nonstop rants on “America’s evil plots to bring Russia down.”
As I soon learned, he didn’t have much choice. All Russian news sources blast out similar “information and analysis” almost around the clock.
It is the most pervasive propaganda machine I have ever studied or experienced in my lifetime.
It engulfs government media, “independent” media and social media. It deploys tens of thousands of individuals who provide personal “testimonials” designed to shock and awe, invoking deep feelings of pity or hatred. It’s in multiple languages, including English. It employs “prominent Western analysts” to tout the same theories and support them with a tirade of stats and “facts.”
It is extremely effective. And it’s downright dangerous. The narrative:
1. Obama is leading a global conspiracy to destroy Russia.
2. Clinton will do exactly the same, or worse.
3. Unless Trump wins, Russia and the United States are headed for war.
Hard to believe they truly see the world this way? Then consider last week’s comments from Russian lawmaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky:
“Americans voting for a president on November 8 must realize that they are voting for peace on Planet Earth if they vote for Trump. But if they vote for Hillary, it’s war. It will be a short movie. There will be Hiroshimas and Nagasakis everywhere.”
Zhirinovsky himself is not considered a particularly believable source in Russia. But thanks to round-the-clock messaging by the media, the anti-Clinton sentiment is almost universal.
All this raises urgent questions for investors: How did U.S.-Russia relations deteriorate so far, so fast? What will be the impact on the global economy and markets? Is war with Russia truly likely?
