Only the KGB could have planted the seeds for our dysfunctional US government 

It is no exaggeration to conclude that the American government and political system is in a state of incredible dysfunction, perhaps unlike anything we have ever seen. since 1861. The evidence is overwhelming.

Two people who are likely to be presidential candidates Few Americans want They are running for that office. One is declared by the Democratic Party, independent And even more former staff Not suitable for any office. The other is considered too old by the majority of Americans, regardless of party affiliation. disabled To become president.

As for Congress, Will Rogers cuts observation It offers a more optimistic perspective than what is happening today.

rogers Said: “As for Congress, every time they make a joke it becomes a law, and every time they make a law it becomes a joke.” Today’s Congress apparently incompetent Not to mention passing coherent legislation to address the nation’s most pressing crises: border issues, the war in Ukraine, and aid to Israel and Taiwan.

senate passed it A bill to address these issues would exempt the border, but House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) declared It is insufficient and calls into question its passage. What will happen remains to be seen. But as long as Donald Trump controls his party through fear, border issues may not be addressed until after the election.

How the United States came to this government collapse is a mystery. But here’s a thought experiment. Suppose Soviet and Russian secret documents reveal the true villain of our disease. KGB. One of the reasons why this discord can only be the result of his KGB and its predecessors is that no country could be foolish enough to allow such discord to arise naturally. is.

Felix Dzerzhinsky Well known to Soviet scholars. Dzerzhinsky, the bright son of a Polish aristocrat, became Lenin’s right-hand man in the much-feared political bureaucracy. Chekathe predecessor of the KGB and Russia’s Federal Security Service and Foreign Intelligence Service.

Almost 100 years ago, under Dzerzhinsky, Soviet agents began recruiting persons to become ignorant abroad.convenient idiot” in furthering the interests of the USSR, and later Russia. Then, in the post-Cold War world, in addition to exploiting human resources, Russia became adept at manipulation through social media.

One example How did Russia with Boris Johnson’s Rasputin, aka Dominic Cummins, helped persuade more than a million unregistered British voters to support Brexit and vote to leave the European Union.

Now let’s take this thought experiment a step further.had moeller report Following the recommendations of Part III, the allegations of Russian influence against Donald Trump have been brought to a logical conclusion as grounds for indictment. Accusations of “collusion” are not crimes. crimeit is considered conspiracy and a crime.

One reason it wasn’t was probably because Vladimir Putin wanted Trump to be president. If this is true, the hypothetical secret is that Soviet/Russian agents were infiltrating both the Democratic and Republican parties with money, women, and other incentives, and were doing the same to Congress. Was it revealed by the documents?

Beyond the thought experiment, the truth is that only Americans could allow this to happen. But back to reality, the November election could be catastrophic if Biden and Trump become the nominees of their respective parties. The fact that the president is determined by the Electoral College rather than the popular vote means that the winner could once again be determined by a small number of electoral districts in a small number of states.Trump’s Claim The 2020 stolen election has been disproved in dozens of lawsuits; We will continue this election cycle.

The results will be so close that recounts and lawsuits over election fraud may prevent the president from being certified until after January 20th.In that case, who will do it? Run government? Speaker of the House of Representatives.

What should I do to return to Lenin? This is another, more original thought experiment. Both Biden and Trump must withdraw from the race. To that end, one of the important things is court precedent Those who oppose President Trump must be convicted and sentenced to prison before the election. Trump plans to appeal, but a conviction could end his candidacy.

Now that Trump is gone, Biden’s claim that he is the only one who can defeat Trump no longer matters. Who replaces Biden is less important than the future of Vice President Kamala Harris.given her unpopulara compromise is for her to remain on the ticket as number two.

It is unclear who will replace Trump. And in this thought experiment, who could pull off this double coup?

There’s only one organization that can do that: the KGB. And for better or worse, it doesn’t exist anymore.
