Absolutely Correct...

 ... this is US "elites" consensus. 

Donald Trump may be clear-minded when it comes to Russian history, but he started the “sanctions race” with Moscow, President Vladimir Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov has said. In a Fox News interview earlier this week, Trump pointed out that the Russian “war machine” defeated both Napoleon and Hitler, so stopping the Ukraine conflict had to be a priority for him if re-elected. Meanwhile, his former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo outlined “a Trump peace plan” in the Wall Street Journal that seemed at odds with the Republican candidate’s actual position. Commenting on both matters, Peskov complimented Trump for “knowing history in such depth” as few other Americans seemed to, but maintained that he was still “a representative of the US political elite that is now definitely suffering from total Russophobia.” “Of course, we saw this article and various other statements. We have never worn rose-colored glasses,” Peskov told reporters.

Absolutely correct, it is the clock-work of American political machine--it either works this way or it disintegrates, the latter being the case now. And the issue is metaphysical--this is what I preach for years now. So, anyone who anticipates some kind of "resolution" to 404 and crisis of Russian-American relation let me reiterate what I speak about for years now: it was on Trump's watch when Russian-American relations got destroyed and 404 was pumped with weapons and "advisers" to the hilt.

This Is A Preview...

 ... of how France will be beaten into submission and will cease to exist as France. 

And this is just the start. We can speculate who did it here whatever we want, but strategic reality for France is that its cities are controlled NOT by French but people of different races, ethnicity and culture and many are in France not to integrate but to change France. Considering pathetic level and politically-correct driven cowardice of France's military and security apparatus, the political toppling of France is just the matter of people who know how to paralyze clownish French government. Now, with inputs of weapons from what's left of 404 and its decomposing armed forces--all ingredients are there. This is a trial run.

Well, The Intent Is Commendable...

 ... as is a recognition of what is going on with Russia, but you cannot stop things now without Russia's conditions. And those will be humiliating. I warned about Russian war machine for 10+ yeas, few people listened. 

And, yes, Russians defeated Napoleon and Hitler--and these two were the creme de la creme of what West could muster against historic Russia. There were others, but these two have been special.

At This Stage...

 ... it is becoming an emergency. 

Already more than a month late getting back, two NASA astronauts will remain at the International Space Station until engineers finish working on problems plaguing their Boeing capsule, officials said Thursday. Test pilots Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were supposed to visit the orbiting lab for about a week and return in mid-June, but thruster failures and helium leaks on Boeing's new Starliner capsule prompted NASA and Boeing to keep them up longer. NASA’s commercial crew program manager Steve Stich said mission managers are not ready to announce a return date. The goal is to bring Wilmore and Williams back aboard Starliner, he added. “We'll come home when we're ready,” Stich said. Stich acknowledged that backup options are under review. SpaceX's Dragon capsule is another means of getting NASA astronauts to and from the space station. “NASA always has contingency options," he said.

And the Falcon 9 has issues and is grounded. Call Moscow.
