Yeah, by provoking the Russians it seems Obama is trying to "salt the earth" for the next administration. A so-called Parthian shot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthian_shot> at those that threaten to throw his "legacy" under the bus.
No, Owen, it makes no sense, but it will fuel the post-election narrative to come (actually already here) that will certainly be filled with sour grapes, anxiety, anger, and hatred. Payment in full for the eight years of obstructionism? Not sure, but it is insane. Or it could be Obama's handlers, the corporatocracy, trying to set the stage for a (re)new bogeyman--Russia--to follow ISIS in order to sell arms and Mafia-like protection. There is big money in NATO. Eisenhower warned us about this--the Industrial-Military Complex. Our economy is becoming overly dependent on continuous war. If this is what it is, we should be very glad that we didn't get Clinton's Kissinger-mentored militarism. This is a full retreat to the Cold War Era of the '50s and 60s. Should be good for the bomb shelter industry ... again. 😕 I can't help noticing the sockpuppet corporate media falling in line to promote the new narrative: "The Russians are coming" ... and "Trump is their Manchurian candidate." I am not at all a fan of Trump's, but this is all bat-shit crazy. I too am a bit spooked. -Robert On Tue, Jan 17, 2017 at 10:15 AM, Owen Densmore <[email protected]> wrote: > Does this make any sense? Are Norwegians concerned about a Russian > invasion?
