H.R. McMaster Gives The Kremlin a Double Bird Salute

The embattled national security adviser is rumored to be at the end of his White House tour. On Thursday, he lashed out at Russia, which backed his boss during the last campaign.

If H.R. McMaster is on his way out of the White House, he’s going out with two middle fingers raised and pointed in the direction of the Kremlin.

“Russia is also complicit in [Syrian dictator Bashar] Assad’s atrocities,” McMaster, President Trump’s national security adviser, said Thursday during an appearance at a discussion of the Syrian civil war held at the U.S. Holocaust memorial museum.

His voice raised, McMaster used harsher and more moralistic language than his boss does in characterizing Russia’s geopolitical influence, and unequivocally blamed the Kremlin for “the abhorrent nerve agent attack” on a former double agent, Sergei Skripal, and proposed “serious political and economic consequences” for Russian aggression.

“We believe that Russia was responsible for this attack, and we call on the Russian government to answer all questions related to this incident, and to provide full information to the OPCW [Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons]. No nation—Russia, China, or anybody else, any other nation—should be using chemical weapons and nerve agents,” McMaster said, following what critics have called a belated Wednesday statement casting blame on Moscow for the attack on Skripal.

4. too little too late

His reputation, and any respect he may have ever received, were flushed down the toilet the moment he chose to work for Drumbf. He might want to join Tillerson in his chemical-weapon-protective-bunker.

5. He lost all respect from me when he lied about the secret Trump/Russia White House meeting

in early 2017 where Trump revealed classified intelligence info to the Russians and told them he had fired Comey to take off pressure of Russia probe- with the meeting kept secret with no American press photos so we only found out about the meeting from Russian media.
