Think about our adversaries;
China - Nuclear power
Iran - Extremist power
Russia - Possibly colluding with China.
In my opinion, our own Deep State only exist because they have backing from these foreign power. Without China, Iran and Russia extending their support, the Deep State has nothing and will go down with one fell-swoop.
The ENTIRE point of Q was to reduce civilian casualty. We mustn't forget that American lives are important.
We must absolutely deny the enemy's use of nuclear or extremist retaliation first before we can win.
Putin's Russia is NOT the enemy of Trump's America; rather the opposite. But go ahead and fuck it up, and indeed Russia will have no choice but to manage China & Iran as its therefore somewhat Asian allies.
