What Does Russiagate Look Like to Russians?

Basic Russian history lesson. Yeah, I know Americans are not big on history, even remembering their own, but inform our actions according to Norman Soloman and Matt Taibbi we should at least try to under stand history before the bozo in President's office pushes the big red button. For a short history you'll have to read the article.

     For all the fears about Trump being a Manchurian Candidate bent on destroying America from within, the far more likely nightmare endgame involves our political establishment egging the moron Trump into a shooting war as a means of proving his not-puppetness.
     This already almost happened once, when Trump fired missiles into Syria with Russian troops on the ground, seemingly as a means of derailing a Russiagate furor that was really spiraling that particular week. That episode proved that the absolute worst time to bang the war drum under Trump is when he's feeling vulnerable on Russia – which he clearly is now.
     Rising anti-Russian hysteria and a nuclear button-holder in the White House who acts before he thinks is a very bad combination. We should try to chill while we still can, especially since the Russians, once again, probably aren't as powerful as we think.
