America may be getting caught in a Russia/China pincer attack.

On the Eastern front we have Putin and the FSB/GRU oligarchy. On the Far Eastern front, there are apparently massive unreported financial shenanigans between Chinese banks and Trumpites (esp. Jared Kushner).

Adam Khan is reporting this side of things: https://twitter.com/khanoisseur




"Not *one* reporter connected Kushner's Chinese debts or the $17+ billion Kushner, Schwarzman, Trump took from China to them killing TPP"

The thought of a double-proged attack like this makes me a tad anxious...

Russia and China play the long game. They've probably been setting this up for over a decade. If they missed with Trump, they knew they'd get another chance in 4 years. The electorate would then have had 4 more years of "psychic driving" brainwashing, which would just improve their chances.

Another nail in our country's coffin.
