Congress will 'applaud like windup toy monkeys'

Intelligence expert Malcolm Nance predicts Congress will ‘applaud like windup toy monkeys’ when Trump surrenders Syria to Putin

The Republican-led Congress and Senate have largely been mum on the meeting between the two leaders, even in wake of the new indictments handed down by the grand jury with forensic details about the hacking of America. Very few Republican elected officials have been willing to demand Trump not meet with Putin, though many un-elected GOP commentators have.

Nance’s tweet was also a retweet of ex-intelligence officer Robert Morton, who said he anticipates Putin, a former KGB agent, “will make his puppet Trump into a hero by temporarily pulling out some troops from Syria and saying Trump convinced him to do so, or something to that effect. Then, DT and Hannity will blast all those who said he should have cancelled the summit.”

We should be fighting the former as much and as hard as we fight the latter.

It seems obvious that Putin is using his assets in a well coordinated way; Syrian war created a new wave of refugees which surprise destabilize Europe! Surprise!
