The Deep State Is Still Sabotaging Presidential Policies
Ambassador M.K. Bhadrakumar
reminds us of subtle maneuvers by deep state actors to sabotage presidential policies.
When a U.S. spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union President Dwight Eisenhower had not be informed about its real mission. The CIA claimed that it had been a weather plane that went off course after its pilot was incapacitated. The president repeated that tale.
The Soviets then published that the wreckage of the U-2 spy plane had been recovered and the pilot captured alive. The Soviets were miffed of being lied to and Eisenhower's attempt of detente with them failed.
Bhadrakumar sees a parallel in the recent Ukrainian drone attacks on strategic bomber on several Russian air field.
President Trump, in a call with the Russian president Putin, claimed that the U.S. had had no knowledge of the attack. That is, as several former CIA members confirm, implausible. The operation had been the making for 18 month which means that it had been initiated under President Biden. U.S. and/or British intelligence was certainly involved in designating the targets.
It seem that Trump, like Eisenhower before him, was not informed and thus embarrassed himself.
While Trump was talking with Putin Russian officials
warned that deep state forces within the U.S. have not changed their anti-Russian aims:
Moscow should take very seriously reports that certain circles in the United States want to see Russia destroyed, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said at a news conference at TASS ..
