Some of our top generals who have served this country honorably give their take on yesterday's betrayal in Helsinki:
Putin-Trump Helsinki Summit remarkable. KGB Putin smart, nimble, attractive, disciplined... could not believe his own ears. Trump near babble at times, seemingly naive, illogical denial Russian threat— rejection US Intel and law enforce. We are in trouble.— Barry R McCaffrey (@mccaffreyr3) July 16, 2018
The only explanation for today’s appalling performance by @realDonaldTrump is the Russians have high value compromising intel on POTUS. Something that would have been discovered during any serviceman’s background investigation. @realDonaldTrump is unfit to command our troops.— Major General (ret) Paul Eaton (@PaulDEaton52) July 16, 2018
What a sad day for America! Trump joins the Russian president in disrespecting America, our government, our dedicated public servants in the intelligence community, and the American people!— Wes Clark (@GeneralClark) July 16, 2018
For those gobsmacked and disgusted by what you just saw, imagine being part of the military leadership in the Pentagon or in Europe, or anywhere in the intelligence community, as you REALLY have information that makes this unfathomable.— Mark Hertling (@MarkHertling) July 16, 2018
Lots of bourbon for them tonight.
Finally, some good advice from General (ret.) Michael Hayden, former National Security Administration director:
Hang on. And vote https://t.co/TLO3N3JHiP— Gen Michael Hayden (@GenMhayden) July 16, 2018
