I have noticed this pattern as well. They tried to suck Russia into a war with the manufactured conflict in Ukraine, but that didn't work.
And now its the "Russia Hacked the Election" narrative they've been trying to push, but that is also failing spectacularly. What other elaborate schemes will the deep state manufacture next?
Awesome that you mentioned the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. I can't imagine why they would want to blame Russia for everything wrong, when in fact it's the United States destroying itself from within.
The U.S. needs a war brewing somewhere to keep the arms sales flowing. This is why Eisenhower warned about the military-industrial complex a long time ago in his farewell address, but it seems nobody was paying attention:
They have to blame everything on Russia because the historical precedent has been set (Cold War) that Russia is our foe. In reality, it seems that China is our number one enemy, yet our economies are so intertwined that neither the US nor Chinese government want to initiate the conflict and disrupt their gravy train.
Seems foolish to me to that the government is telling the public that Russia is our enemy at a time when we should be trying to befriend Russia and use that relationship as leverage over China and China's proxy, North Korea.
Russia seems like the easier sell for a military build up while keeping the markets complacent. If we were to shift our dislike towards China, that would disrupt the markets and the Deep State's money supply. Just my two cents!
