Pat Buchanan, WND: Trump calls off Cold War II
Pat Buchanan responds to John Brennan vitriol with Patrick Henry quote
Beginning his joint press conference with Vladimir Putin, President Trump declared that U.S. relations with Russia have “never been worse.”
He then added pointedly, that just changed “about four hours ago.”
It certainly did. With his remarks in Helsinki and at the NATO summit in Brussels, Trump has signaled a historic shift in U.S. foreign policy that may determine the future of this nation and the fate of his presidency.
He has rejected the fundamental premises of American foreign policy since the end of the Cold War and blamed our wretched relations with Russia not on Vladimir Putin, but squarely on the U.S. establishment.
In a tweet prior to the meeting, Trump indicted the elites of both parties: “Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt!”

WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction. In the coming days the vitriol that has been directed at President Trump is going to intensify when the realization on what happened in Helsinki settles in. There will be no Cold War II, and President Trump will do what every President since President Roosevelt has done since the Second World War .... to sit down with the leader of the Kremlin to find common ground and to avoid war. As a result of pursuing this policy, I have witnessed something that I have never seen before in all of my years of watching the U.S.. The sheer hatred that came from the main stream media, the Democrats, never-Trumpers, and many others in Washington on a U.S. President pursuing a policy that would lessen tensions with a nuclear superpower has been quite a sight to see .... and yes .... frightening on every level. Today a former CIA Director accused President Trump of committing treason ....Ex-CIA Director Brennan Accuses President Trump of 'Treason', and not to be undone a Democrat Congressman called for the military to intervene ....
....
This is what many in Washington are saying publicly ..... I can only imagine what they are saying privately. I also expect this rhetoric to get even worse. As for President Trump .... my advice to him is to double his secret service protection. The emotional hatred that has been pumped up today has put his life in grave danger (as if it was not already in danger).Where are our military folks ? The Commander in Chief is in the hands of our enemy! https://t.co/3eF7OLKEdN— Steve Cohen (@RepCohen) July 16, 2018
