Medium has the Caitlin Johnstone article The Problem With The Clinton-Russia Collusion Narrative.

I am aware that Trump’s base is only trying to engage the Democrats on their Russia hypocrisy and not intentionally helping the deep state manufacture the tensions with Russia it’s been seeking in order to secure geopolitical hegemony… but I do see a very real risk of that happening.

Can you understand why this is making me nervous? It’s impossible to use Russian collusion as an attack against your opponent without making Russia into a big scary boogieman, and we’re now looking at the possibility of both of America’s huge mainstream factions fighting one another over who hates Russia more and who’s the bigger Putin puppet. Any remaining inertia on aggressive sanctions, NATO expansionism, proxy wars and nuclear brinkmanship may be wiped out if each side becomes eager to prove that they’re toughest on Russia, a game of chicken that can only end in a mushroom cloud.

Caitlin Johnstone has put her finger on exactly what bothers me about the current hysteria over Russia that is coming from all sides of the political spectrum. Whenever, I raise this issue I get accused of being a troll for whichever side the reader disagrees with.
