President Trump\u2019s National Security Advisor John Bolton was in Moscow last week organizing what promises to be an historic summit meeting between his boss and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Bolton, who has for years demanded that the US inflict \u201cpain\u201d on Russia and on Putin specifically, was tasked by Trump to change his tune. He was forced to shed some of his neoconservative skin and get involved in peacemaking. Trump surely deserves some credit for that!<\/p>\n

As could be expected given the current political climate in the US, the neoconservatives have joined up with the anti-Trump forces on the Left \u2014 and US client states overseas \u2014 to vigorously oppose any movement toward peace with Russia. The mainstream media is, as also to be expected, amplifying every objection to any step away from a confrontation with Russia.<\/p>\n

Bolton had hardly left Moscow when the media began its attacks. US allies are \u201cnervous\u201d over the planned summit, reported Reuters. They did not quote any US ally claiming to be nervous, but they did speculate that both the UK and Ukraine would not be happy were the US and Russia to improve relations. But why is that? The current Ukrainian government is only in power because the Obama Administration launched a coup against its democratically-elected president to put US puppets in charge. They\u2019re right to be nervous. And the British government is also right to be worried. They swore that Russia was behind the \u201cpoisoning\u201d of the Skripals without providing any evidence to back up their claims. Hundreds of Russian diplomats were expelled from Western countries on their word alone. And over the past couple of months, each of their claims has fallen short.
