Take this article with caution as it's from LaRouchePub; haven't investigated author yet. But that it was published in 1987 is very damning.

I'd view this article with more skepticism, but it's backed up with mainstream outlets cited in rest of this thread and by events of 2016

It's a long thread with more information.

1. no duh. we are the only country

that has to think in such short time frames. 4 years.
the continuity of policy and governance is the important part of peaceful transitions. cheeto has thrown that out the window with both tiny little hands.

russia, china, they play the long game.

2. This is a Lyndon LaRouche publication, so add salt as needed. (All the salt!)

"Here is a 1987 article from newsletter "Elephants and Donkeys"... " NO, it is an article titled "Elephants and Donkeys" in the newsletter "Executive IntelligenceReview"

5. Now we are quoting Lyndon LaRouche on DU and giving him credibility?

What garbage from a former left winger turned right winger turned just plain nut.
