Critical of Clintons Russia Strategy:

——————————

Being a diplomat, Mattlock speaks diplomatically of the colossal,

damaging shift in U.S. -Russia relations under the Clintons who reversed the approach of Reagan and Bush I. He gets to the

point right away in the preface to Superpower Illusions:

“The Clinton administration’s decision to expand NATO to the East

rather than draw Russia into a cooperative arrangement to ensure

European security undermined the prospects of democracy in Russia,

made it more difficult to keep peace in the Balkans and slowed the

process of nuclear disarmament started by Presidents Reagan and

Gorbachev.”

Further Matlock critique of Clinton warmongering:

"But the most damning indictment yet of the Clintons on the world stage comes in

the book Superpower Illusions by former Ambassador to the USSR, Jack Matlock."

“The Clinton administration’s decision to expand NATO to the East rather than draw Russia into a cooperative arrangement to ensure European security undermined the prospects of democracy in Russia, made it more difficult to keep peace in the Balkans and slowed the process of nuclear disarmament started by Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev.”

That is a severely damaging condemnation of the Clintons, one of historic dimensions, as we see now as events unfold in Ukraine, with one of Hillary’s protégés, her State Department spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, very much in charge of the U.S. intervention there. Matlock was so appalled by the Clintons that he

changed his political affiliation:

…

“After I retired from the Foreign Service, I left the Democratic Party early in the

Clinton presidency. I felt that President Clinton… lacked both the vision and the

competence to take advantage of the opportunity the end of the Cold War and

the breakup of the Soviet Union provided. That opportunity was nothing less than a

chance to create a world in which security tasks could be shared, weapons of mass

destruction reduced rapidly and barriers to nuclear proliferation raised.”

Matlock is appalled that President Clinton lacked both the vision and the competence

to proceed on a peaceful task. What else is there? Of course he should have said

Presidents Clinton since, as Bill always reminded us, he and Hillary shared the task –

“two for one,” as he put it, or Billary or Hillbillary as the alternative media labels the

duo.

Matlock does not let Bush II off the hook. He is no apologist for the GOP hawks. He

sees “W” as continuing and deepening the folly of the Clintons…"

Summary: Matlock was a Democrat, but changed due to his deep misgivings about both Clintons' Soviet and NATO policies which were needless warmongering

Added this in another bread. Very interesting. Could be that Q's reference to Matlock is referring to the Clinton house fire and secret doc recovery.

"Several mainstream media outlets reported—without evidence—that the Russian ambassador to the U.S. is a spy. The Daily Beast published an article on March 2, 2017 titled, “Did Sessions meet with a spymaster?” The title uses Betteridge’s law of headlines, which stipulates that if a question is asked in a headline it can be answered with a “no,” but forming a title around a question allows the author to propagate a narrative that lacks sufficient evidence corroborate the intended claims."
