In the interest of full disclosure, I have written three novels in which my criticism of American diplomacy is well-documented. I have also produced a series of historical videos in which every American foreign adventure, from the Spanish-American War to today's War on Terror, was preceded by failures in American diplomacy. Virtually every one of them lies at the feet of every American Administration of the late 19th Century to today save one, Donald Trump. He did things differently, often greatly upsetting America's professional diplomatic corps and yet he led us into no wars and inspired a nascent peace in the Middle East that clearly upset diplomats, such as McMaster, who predicted failure. Well, ultimately the Abraham Accords now lay in waste at the feet of those diplomats who have found their influence renewed in the Biden Administration. Look at Russia. The Annexation of Crimea was a bold first step in annexing the whole of Ukraine. What delayed that plan? One could make a case that it was President Trump. Crimea was annexed two year prior to his Administration and the invasion of Ukraine was delayed until a year after Biden replaced him. So, who played who? Now, who says that only the victors write history?

The other part of this is that McMaster is pissed because Trump went outside of the National Intelligence apparatus and used some Private Intelligence companies. That didn't sit well with the bureaucrats at CIA and NSA. I'm not blaming Trump for that since the Intelligence community has had a history of being catastrophically wrong.

That's how he invaded Crimea and Ukraine, right?

I am still curious about those meetings Trump had with Putin that were not recorded and no witnesses, except the interpreter.
