There is a lot to like in your post, Mack, but... I believe that Putin and Trump are both ultimately controlled by the establishment, in one way or another. It cannot be any other way, anything else would not be tolerated.
Don't get me wrong, I like what both of these guys say, they are on the right page, but my gut is telling me that the pair of them are ultimately just controlled opposition, I hope I am wrong.
Could it be that all these 'cold war' shenanigans between the US, Russia, North Korea, etc., are just a dog and pony show, to con the public, in order to bring about the required change?
Pretty much every war or global upheaval since the Rothschilds 'took over' the Bank Of England, has been cleverly orchestrated by the money men in London, Paris, Frankfurt A/M, Vienna, and to a lesser degree, Napoli, by controlling both sides. Pretty much the same way that they manipulate sports events, to scam the gamblers.
I am sure that similar tactics have been used for millenia.
