You're right. My only comment. Everyone wonders why Donnie calls putin? For this. Donnie consults on how best to carry out terrorist attacks. Because putin knows this better than anyone in the world. He did it to come to power ("Ryazan sugar"). Beslan allowed the governor elections to be canceled.

The Desire for Terror
And the defense of democracy
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.
