President-Elect Donald Trump is full of praise for Vladimir Putin and trying to destroy our intelligence agencies, especially the CIA, to say nothing of NATO. Putin is slamming those who criticize Trump. Clearly, Trump is some sort of asset of Russia, perhaps unwittingly, but an asset none the less. Putin has Trump all covered with syrup without Trump noticing he has tipped the pitcher. Putin could hardly contain himself in his actions to maneuver Trump. Many have noted that Putin is the one person whom Trump never criticizes..Putin must be laughing wildly at his luck, This is far more than just trying a reset with Russia and very, very scary.
Should Trump succeed in his attempt to destroy the CIA and many veteran agents leave the organization, we will be, in a manner, defenseless while new hires get experience. We are depending now on veteran employees of the CIA to be so patriotic that they will stay. I'm not sure what the outgoing Director of the CIA (John Brennan) means when he says that Trump has crossed a line, but it doesn't sound good.
If a number of the nominated cabinet members mean what they are saying in their nomination hearings, we will heavily depend on them to preserve the nation.
I also am wondering if the Republican's and Trump's attack on health care, among other things, will revitalize something like the demonstrations against the Vietnam War. The Women's March is expecting more than 200,000 demonstrators on Saturday though well short of the million that was their original target.
Building the wall on our Southern Border has become a trivial issue. To paraphrase what Sen. McCain said years ago about the border fence," build the dang wall." At least it will provide temporary work for a lot of employees in the construction industry, except we are told there is not much slack there.
