Why should the average American care about how aggressive or soft American policy towards Russia is? Why should he care if a couple of dictators and totalitarian emirs in the Middle East prefer Russia to the US? Why should he care if Russian investments in Jordan or Ukraine become more prominent, to the detriment of the interests of the American companies? Why should he care if a president in a random country which he cannot even locate is a puppet of Putin, instead of Donald?

All this nationalistic narrative that citizens should be worried and make sacrifices for the sake of the American foreign policy and the need of some lobbyists to increase their profits is stupid. The tears of the warmongering military establishment are what encouraged many pacifists to abstain from the elections and what convinced many desperate workers that a billionaire is actually the voice of the people and the terror of the elites.
Do they still fail to realize that they should shut up. The voters who automatically get hysterical, when they hear some good old McCarthyist rhetoric will vote for the Republicans anyway, because they consider anybody to the left of Ted Cruz as a Commie ready to confiscate their weapons.
