Senator Blumenthal said on TV today that we are in a 9-11 style attack at the moment by Russia because of the way President Trump handled the Helsinki summit meeting. Bloomie said that it is a national emergency.
Someone ought to explain to the senator what it means to be under attack. Clearly he doesn't get it. He did claim to have served in the military in Vietnam years ago, but that turned out to be just another lie, so Blumenthal has never actually experienced an attack.
The funny thing about all this is that nothing has changed due to Helsinki. No one has died or been injured. No property has been damaged. No options available to the USA were taken away because of Helsinki. All that happened is that President Trump met with the leader of the world's other pre-eminent nuclear power and the meeting was cordial. Oh, the horror of it all!
I don't mind if Blumenthal wants to criticize Trump's position on something or other related to our relationship with Russia. It's just bizarre for the senator to try to turn this into a national emergency. It's not.
