Obama and Hillary’s Two-Minutes of Hate for Russia

by | Oct 21, 2016

President Obama claimed that Donald Trump’s “flattery” of Russian president Putin is “unprecedented in American politics.” But as RPI Board Member Lew Rockwell tells RT, there is nothing new about it. During the Cold War Americans were told they had to hate the Russians and the Chinese, that the Russians were coming. The latest bashing, however, is “despicable, warmongering, narcissistic, and dangerous, says Lew Rockwell. Now Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama are “actually threatening nuclear war,” he said. We are supposed to hate the guts of Russia and China, he added, but “it’s not a good idea from a religious, or political, or foreign policy standpoint to hate the guts of other countries. Like George Washington said in his farewell speech, we want to be friends with everyone who wants to be friends with us, trade with everyone, not be belligerent,” said Rockwell.
