CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 21, 2018
ARE WE HEADED FOR A NEW COLD WAR? THE SIGNS POINT TO IT. THE RUSSIAN ELECTION THAT SAW VLADIMIR PUTIN WIN 75 PERCENT OF THE VOTE ADDS TO THE CONCERNS. VIDEOS SHOW MASSIVE BALLOT BOX STUFFING ABD OTHER PROOFS OF A RIGGED ELECTION.
RUSSIA IS BLAMING THE WEST FOR EVERYTHING, INCLUDING WHAT IT SAYS WAS HIGH VOTER TURNOUT. IT BLAMES THE WEST FOR THE POISONING OF TWO FORMER RUSSIAN SPIES. THEY ARE IN CRITICAL CONDITION IN A LONDON HOSPITAL AFTER BEING EXPOSED TO A DEADLY NERVE GAS THAT INTERNATIONAL LAW HAS BANNED FOR YEARS, ALONG WITH OTHER CHEMICAL WEAPONS.
WILL PUTIN’S VICTORY EMBOLDEN HIM TO INVADE OTHER COUNTRIES, AS HE DID UKRAINE? IF SO, WHAT WILL THE WEST BE ABLE TO DO TO STOP HIM SHORT OF WAR, WHICH IS NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN? MORE SANCTIONS? THAT’S FINE, BUT COUNTRIES HAVE A WAY OF AVOIDING SANCTIONS, OR OUTLASTING THEM.
THE BIG QUESTION IS WHETHER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS A POLICY FOR RUSSIA? THIS IS A SERIOUS QUESTION AND IT DESERVES A SERIOUS ANSWER, OR WE MIGHT BE BACK IN AN ERA WITH ICBM’S POINTED AT EACH OTHER. ANYONE REMEMBER “PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH”? I’M CAL THOMAS IN WASHINGTON.
