Remember Russiagate! In his presidential campaign in 2016, Donald Trump, among the very few policy positions that he explored and that seemed to me to make any sense was the scope for a closer partnership between Russia and the USA. Not only did this make sound civilizational sense in itself, in the cause of greater global security and prosperity, but, from a more real-politik point of view it offered a path towards a softening of US angst over the growing might of China. In practice, Trump was sealing a fate that he could not have anticipated but that he surely came to regret, namely, that he would both win the election but that Hilary Clinton would exloit Trump’s supposed warmth for Russia to create the massive Russiagate Hoax.
