COMMON SENSE—My theory: In 1990, the population of the Soviet Union was 293 million, and their GDP was $7.77 trillion. At that time, our population was 249 million, and our GDP was $6 trillion. Then, because of President Reagan’s policies, the Soviet Union collapsed, and everything changed. Now, the population of Russia is 146 million, and their GDP is $1.33 trillion, which is approximately the same as Canada’s and a little less than Italy and Indonesia. Our population is currently about 326 million, and our GDP $19 trillion.
Here’s the point. In just over a quarter of a century, our economy, which wasn’t as large as the Soviet Union’s, is now more than fourteen times larger than Russia’s, and our population is more than twice as large. In 1990, the Soviet Union was our equal in everything, while in 2017, Russia cannot compete with us in anything, except for nuclear weapons.
So, if you were Vladimir Putin and you wanted to restore Russia to greatness, how would you do it, especially since you couldn’t compete economically or by your nation’s size? You would leverage your nuclear capability, where you are competitive, but you wouldn’t want to start a thermonuclear war, where everybody loses. Instead, all you would want to do is dominate the world with your nuclear capability, which would force the USA to play by your rules. This alone would restore Russia to greatness, which is your goal.
But how would you go about dominating the USA? You could do it by securing the world’s uranium supply—the essential ingredient necessary to make nuclear weapons. To accomplish your task, you would need to obtain America’s supply of uranium, which we would never relinquish willingly. This means you would need someone on the inside to get America’s uranium—someone you could corrupt.
Then, along comes Hillary Clinton. With her Uranium One deal, she allowed 20% of America’s uranium to be sold to Russian companies. As our Secretary of State, why would she do this? What would be in it for her? Just follow the money. Her foundation received $145 million from Russians. That’s a hunk of change, but that’s just part of what she received. I suspect here is a lot more.
Unfortunately for Hillary, and others corrupted by this scheme, it’s all unraveling, but it’s convoluted and confusing for most to follow. This is why I have given you my theory about how this plot to destroy the USA came about, and where the real Russian collusion exists.

COMMON SENSE: French is the language of diplomacy and has been for half a millennium. It’s why there are so many French words and phrases that have come into the English language concerning foreign policy—words like rapprochement, fait accompli, and de facto/de jure. The cardinal rule of diplomacy is understatement. In diplomacy, to say an act by another nation is “unfriendly” is close to declaring war.
COMMON SENSE: Barack Obama’s policy of “Strategic Patience,” which should have been more appropriately called “Fearful Incompetence,” was a colossal failure on the Korean peninsula, but Obama is not alone in his ineptitude. Neither George W. Bush nor Bill Clinton did anything to solve the North Korean problem, when it was more easily solvable.
