On Wednesday, he disgracefully called Assad an animal, a butcher, a disgusting Big Lie. He criticized Putin for backing him, at the same time falsely accusing Moscow of advance knowledge of the April 4 CW attack - another brazen Big Lie. US relations with Russia are at an all-time low, he added. In Moscow, Secretary of State Tillerson said (t)here is a low level of trust between our countries - without explaining its Washingtons fault, not Moscows. Wednesday on Fox News, Trump disgracefully blasted Putin for backing (Assad) he outrageously called an evil person. Together with US-installed NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, he said NATO is no longer obsolete, reversing his campaign rhetoric, ludicrously claiming the alliance changed, backing its US-led killing machine. On Tuesday, he signed a document approving Montenegro as the alliances 29th member. A White House statement said the door to membership in the Euro-Atlantic community of nations remains open and that countries in the western Balkans are free to choose their own future and select their own partners without outside interference or intimidation. Trumps reckless imperial agenda risks potentially catastrophic nuclear war. The possibility is greater than any previous time under earlier US administrations. Media scoundrels ignore what demands highlighting, supporting Trumps aggression, his Russia bashing, his threats against Syria, Iran and North Korea - mindless of the potentially devastating consequences. Cold War era Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) seems forgotten. Lunatics infesting Washington support endless wars on humanity. Its fate is up for grabs as long as this madness persists.
