Changes

Brennan recruited a network of retired American and foreign intelligence operatives headquartered in [[London]], so-called "informants" or "outside contiguous US lures" (oconus lures), people who wanted the US taxpayer to continue the gravy train of [[NATO]] defense spending for another generation, although [[Millennial]]s are hard pressed to identify what NATO is, how it came into existence, and why it continues to exist 25 years after the collapse of [[communism]]. Nor why European [[Welfare state|social democracies]] enjoy free healthcare while Americans do not, because Americans pay Europeans' defense costs. For this, the Russian bogeyman is needed, and because the Obama administration failed to live up to the Clinton-era commitment to defend Ukraine in exchange for relinquishing nukes, and in the event of Russian annexation. The Clinton-era [[State Department]] promise wasn't worth the paper it was written on, ratified by the Obama administration making the U.S. word in international agreements useless.<ref>The committment to defend [[Poland]] in 1919 at the [[Treaty of Versailles]] was honored by [[Britain]] and [[France]] twenty years later in 1939 when [[Hitler]] invaded; the commitment to defend [[Ukraine]] was guaranteed by the Clinton administration in 1994 (Budapest Protocols) if Ukraine gave up its nukes as its only deterrent against a [[Russian]] invasion. Twenty years later in 2014 Obama did nothing when the agreement was violated. Both Obama and the Clintons decieved Ukrainians, and did permanent damage to America's [[diplomatic]] prestige and credibility to honor its [[treaty]] commitments in the world.</ref>

The [[military industrial complex]] on both sides of the Atlantic needed to be fed, and Trump talking about sending Europe a bill for US defense costs of NATO threatened the ''status quo''. As [[Ukrainian crisis|Crimea Annexation]] illustrated, neither the US nor European allies were willing to confront Russia. And as the [[Libyan War]] sadly and clearly demonstrated, NATO was now transformed into an offensive neo-[[colonialism|colonial]] force resurrecting [[slavery]] on the [[Africa]]n continent. Donald Trump challenged the corruption of the current generation of global elites who now controlled NATO.
