FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE .....


Mr. Trump lately, has repeatedly cast doubts over reports and investigations by American intelligence agencies, about Russian interference in the latest U.S. election with the aim of helping him win by damaging his opponent .

The divide between the president elect and the U.S. intelligence community, their officials  and their agencies, has grown so wide that it's now threatening the future stability and governance of the new presidency and its administration .

Already new reports mentioning and alluding to older Trump/Russian ties, and maybe Russian pressuring and possibly black-mailing material in hands , plus financial deals dating back to possibly 5 years ago .

Mr  Trump has too frequently praised Putin's leadership , personal achievements and persona . Crowning it all with a very controversial appointment for Secretary of State , the Exxon Mobil CEO, Rex  Tillerson . Who is himself a known Putin friend and admirer, with big business ties for Exxon in Russia , while Mr. Putin himself has made it a priority to undermine world and American oil shale production , to maintain Russia's oil production and supremacy , all through RT, or Russian TV as it's called.

No one politician in the world denies that : " Russia is back in the world as a revisionist power , pursuing a 19th century agenda with 21st century tactics and methods." To quote a letter signed by dozens of Central and East European politicians and leaders . A letter urging the U.S. not to trust Putin or his ambitions .

While Mr. Trump and his various appointees keep denying any trace of authenticity to any of these reports , with a doubtful insistence and obstinacy , the immediate question that comes to mind is : WHY !!!  It is no more a role of ideology or a certain policy vision , it is no more in line with a future strategic safe-guarding of American interests and profits , it is not in any way in line with all of our European and international partners and allies, except possibly Israel , and maybe Turkey who might be shaping and forging a different Russian future agenda .

So why this insistence and obstinacy in defending Putin from day one ?? While being skeptical to say the least , about considering or accepting any alleged Russian role in interfering in American elections , affairs or others.

The U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA, have clearly concluded and stated with high levels of confidence , that Russian official hackers, under direct supervision and orders leading all the way to Mr. Putin, were personally involved in the cyber attacks and the covert campaign . Mr Putin and his apparatus insistently deny these reports , while Mr. Trump here, and his spokesmen , keep insistently and repeatedly praising and exonerating Mr. Putin . Something is fishy to say the least .


My full gratitude for all my readers all over the world for their time and help spreading the blog .
