Senator Ted Kennedy once tried to interfere with Ronald Reagan’s reelection in 1984. He had selfish motives and was terribly misguided for seeing Reagan as a greater threat than the Soviet Union. Kennedy made overtures to top soviet officials and suggested that he would organize favorable American press coverage for the Russians. The Democrats are disgusting. President–Elect Donald Trump and his team should revisit KGB correspondence and realize that they shouldn’t be friends with the Russians. In addition, there is a smear job in the New York Times by certain people in the transition office joined in by Reince Priebus, Robert Gates, and Condoleezza Rice on John Bolton. The State Department is going to be run by Bush acolytes. They are coming to the defense of Rex Tillerson. After that, John McCain and Marco Rubio’s positions on Russia and Vladimir Putin are in line with Reagan’s position. Putin is an aggressive fascist and is not our friend.
