I am not so naive as to not recognize that there are always hidden agendas, disinformation, and misdirections. The whole Benghazi matter never passed the "smell test" for me. And, I have suspected for some time that, as reported in the cited article, "The U.S., NATO and other allies are engaged in a proxy war with Iran and Russia."
In that context, much of what is being reported in this article passes the "smell test". However, if that is the case, then I am not "outraged" as the author of the article suggests that I should be. I am, however, more insistent upon righting our economic ship because that is our Achilles heal! If the US Dollar loses "reference currency status" (and it could with another credit down-grade) then all hell is going to break loose. Very, very serious stuff!
I would really like to hear the take from others that are more in touch with the intelligence side of this then I am.
Thank you for a great post {Salute}

I do not know with what is there to argue.
America has set a goal to remain a world leader as long as possible and to prevent the emergence of real competition on stage.
Russia seeks to regain its status as a global player and again become an alternative pole of power.
Russia's goal is not compatible with the aim of America.
Everything else - the decorations and dancing with shamanic drums around the primary dispute.
Modern realities differ from the reality of the last century, only the emergence of new centers of power, such as China and the revival of old, such as the 4th Reich - aka the EU.
Isn't it?
