It would be a conspiracy theory to posit that Donald Trump knew that his scams, bankruptcies and shady dealings, his impulsivety and lack of understanding of his job can not allow him to be the face of creditworthiness of the United States when it comes time to borrow to, in part, service the national debt, and that his plan has been to free Putin from sanctions where, in exchange for backing up the United States dissolving our debt with threats of cyber warfare (more below on that), Putin would be free to fulfill all his oil deals made with Tillerson which would effectively monopolize fossil fuel extraction in the northern hemisphere including the arctic. However, it is not conspiracy theory to suggest that events and actions imply that such a scheme is not so far-fetched.
The news media has been abuzz about the firing of FBI Director James Comey, the elaborate lies coming from the White House as to how and why, Donald Trump’s blundering admission of obstructing justice, and the fear that there is a partisan lock on finding out the truth and bringing to justice anyone guilty of wrong-doing. What the media is not talking about is how brazen the Russian attempt to influence the French election was--arguably showing off, now that they may get away with conquering and destabilizing the United States. It was noticed in the week before the events that have suddenly shaped the news that Donald Trump was conspicuously quiet. If the Russian cyber-war attack on France had worked, it is safe to say that the European Union's days would be numbered, the Euro would be in question, NATO would be in crisis over French withdrawal, and Russia would be all the more emboldened to have its way with the rest of the world by way of technology most people use but don't understand in its ability to allow malicious forces to shut down electrical grids, throw whole economies back into the dark ages and set the common folk at each other's throats for the bare necessities of life.
It is not a conspiracy theory either to say that both Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are criminals. Trump may not have killed anyone yet but he gleefully hustled the House of Representatives to take away the health care from 24 million Americans--not that the republicans in the House needed much hustling. "Trumpcare" will kill--make no mistake about it. And Trump himself will weep as much as he did for the victims of the completely criminal Trump University scam. Vladimir Putin is already a mass murderer with the blood of as many as a million people on his hands--two wars fabricated with Chechnya simply to boost his own popularity, bombing civilians and rebels in Syria, internal Russian skullduggery the body count of which the world may never know.
When the two most powerful men with the two biggest arsenals of nukes are both power-crazy criminals, and one of which has a cyber army which has put the other in power over his main adversary, a conspiracy theory of unthinkable global dimensions may be closer to "Conspiracy Fact" than one might think. The results of the French election could have enraged the impulsive Trump who knows that time is not on his side as the debt ceiling is on the horizon, and I for one can't imagine anyone lending billions to the cavalier Trump who has alienated America's closest allies so wantonly. It may just be that he had plans that would alienate them anyway. In any case, Trump must not be America's face of creditworthiness, stability, and ethical conduct to the rest of the world when we need to borrow funds or their help in other matters. It is not foolish to be concerned that the worst fears of default on our debt may be in the offing. Is this not reason enough for authoritarian criminals to envision new rules under threats they can deliver on? Trump’s pattern is to think Americans would be pleased to erase our national debt. And I’m sorry to have to say, millions probably would approve of this short-sighted show of strength. Are we on course to become Planet Kriminal?
