Ukraine's tragedy may be America's blessing.
The sudden spotlight on Putin may open the eyes of Trump fans to his treachery.
Excerpt from Report No. 32-04 VD |
While America's mainstream media slumbered all that month, reporting only on the Tokyo Olympics, Europe's media headlined the document's leak.
The spy agencies were to "alter the consciousness of the masses, especially in certain groups."
Putin believed a Trump White House would disrupt and weaken America, his longtime nemesis.
"A Trump victory will definitely lead to the destabilization of the US socio-political system and will see discontent erupt," the report says.
The document also assesses the mind of then-candidate Trump.
"Trump is an impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual suffering from an inferiority complex.”
Report No. 32-04 VD confirms the Kremlin had blackmail materials from "previous unofficial visits by Trump to the territory of the Russian Federation."
No doubt, those include the infamous "golden showers" video.
Should Trump resist the Kremlin's intervention in the presidential election, Putin would remind the candidate he could ruin him.
So as you witness Ukraine's tragedy unfold, remember what mom used to say.
"Behind every cloud there's a silver lining."
Or at least a golden shower.
