Trump has only himself to blame for Ukraine show trial, surrounded himself with Russia-hating activists from Fiona to Volker to Bolton, failed to fire all Obama ambassadors on day one, and left Deep State intact-Martin Sieff, Strategic Culture

.
Trump in a very basic way has no one to blame but himself for this horrendous state of affairs [such as Ukrainegate] in Wonderland. He surrounded himself with Russia-hating Armchair Warriors from Fiona Hill to John Bolton and Kurt Volker. So he should not be surprised that to a man-and woman-they have betrayed him. Trump did not try to roll back the dark influence of the Deep State."

 11/25/19, “Trump in Wonderland: Off With His Head?” Martin Sieff, Strategic Culture
 
Far from endangering the security of Ukraine and withholding US aid, Trump has unwisely approved a flood of lethal US weapons, most especially Javelin missiles for Kiev. 

This massive arms transfer gravely increases the potential threat to the breakaway provinces of Lugansk and Donetsk. It therefore also automatically ratchets up the threat of direct war between the United States and Russiaa danger of inconceivable horror that the “Hate Trump!” and “Hate Russia!” fanatics in Washington are insanely blind to....The Hate Trump fanatics in the US Congress and in the US Media are stampeding the human race towards an annihilating nuclear war that nobody else remotely wants. [Unlike Trump, JFK stood against the Deep State in 1960s which tried to push him into nuclear war with Soviet Union. It enraged them that JFK and Khrushchev both wanted peace]. 

Trump in a very basic way has no one to blame but himself for this horrendous state of affairs in Wonderland. He surrounded himself with Russia-hating Armchair Warriors from Fiona Hill to John Bolton and Kurt Volker. So he should not be surprised that to a man-and woman-they have betrayed him. 

Trump did not try to roll back the dark influence of the Deep State, the Jabberwock monster of his Wonderland. So he should not be surprised that now the Deep State Jabberwock is once again trying to eat him. 

Former US Ambassador to Kiev Marie Jovanovich and former National Security Council official Alexander Vindman both consistently and relentlessly supported the illegal gangster regime in Kiev which only took power by a violent coup in 2014 by toppling the democratically elected president of the nation.”… 

[Ed. note: Trump voters were alerted that Obama's third term was underway when Trump failed to fire every Obama-appointed ambassador on his first day. The Obama-holdover Ambassador to Ukraine whom Trump allowed to stay on the job for two and a half years, Marie Yovanovich, has certain basics in common with another viscerally prejudiced against Russia Ukraine activist at the top of the US bureaucrat heap. Both Yovanovich and Alexander Vindman are children of parents who were born in the Soviet Union and eventually emigrated to the US. In Vindman’s case, he was born in the former Soviet Union in Ukraine and moved to the US with his parents at a very young age. Yovanovich’s parents moved from USSR to Canada and then to US. Marie was born in Canada in 1958. Both speak Russian because they learned it as children. Vindman also speaks Ukrainian. They have in common that they can never be US president because they weren’t born here, but no matter. These activist parasites were allowed to believe that their views were more important than the president's. Certainly, no one in the political class was going to object. Anything that circumvents voters and taxpayers is fine with them. The "interagency" had every reason to believe it was royalty and still does].

(continuing):Yet Jovanovich and Vindman have never been held to account for their double standards and betrayal of their primary loyalty to the government of the United States. They know they are safe: They live in Wonderland, where treason is patriotism and loyalty to the law and Constitution of the Nation is the most unforgivable of crimes. 

For it is the Elected President of the United States who sets all foreign policy: Or at least is supposed to. And it is the diplomatic and security apparatus of the United States that is presumed to implement that policy loyally and without questioning it. 

Also, all ambassadors explicitly serve at the pleasure of the president and Trump should have fired Jovanovich as soon as he took office. She had been appointed by his predecessor Barack Obama, with the blessing of his own foreign policy guru, Polish-American and Russia-hating former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski to implement a policy that Trump was explicitly elected to abandonreckless, potentially highly dangerous unconditional US support for the unstable coup government in Kiev. 

But none of this matters: We are Inside the Beltway and Down the Rabbit Hole. We are in Washington. And Washington is Wonderland. Lewis Carroll and his Alice would have understood immediately.”

All of us will go back to Washington and we will push the case against Russia.” McCain promised the assembled troops, “we will do everything we can to provide you with what you need to win.
