Things are starting to make terrible sense now. The russian ban on US adoptions a few years ago seemed very odd, and was spun a lot of crazy ways. Yet no one bothered to mention why the russians would do such a drastic move. No one in the main stream bothered to ask questions. The most obvious answer would be a crack down on human trafficking, as organized crime will make money off of anything.

That explains why they'd want to go to war with the Russians

To keep it from coming out.

They need to have conflict with Russia so that can be discredited when they release the copies of hacker Guccifers Hillary server emails from before they were "wiped with a cloth" AKA bleachbit. The narrative is supposed to be Russia is just out to get Hillary so we aren't supposed to trust them.

We have gone to war for far less. I do think it is a bit of a stretch to say "war" real fast

No i think the main reason why they are afraid of the russians, is because they have a good intelligence gathering operation. As we have seen from the wikileaks, the establishment is technologically retarded. Podesta shared his passwords over emails with interns.

So the scenario here is that they need to discredit russia as much as possible, because they have made too many mistakes over the last few years to keep them covered up. Suddenly their political enemies are now in office, and anyone not caught in the scandal has the potential to rise in power real fast.

Let's just say they don't have the interest of the people of the U.S. at heart. So what do they care about?

I'm going to have to disagree, I remember this news and while it makes deductive (or is it inductive?) sense to say that's why the Russians did it, it was a little different than that. First, Russians have human trafficking as well (not saying this to distract), even if it isn't as nefarious as baby fucking and eating, it still isn't great. Two, the reason they did this was that there were lots of people in the US, especially wealthy people who were wanting to adopt white children. If you are familiar with what happened with Native American children in the US, this can have a huge impact on culture. I just don't think it is the case that what you say is why the Russians stopped adoption, I think its just to keep the ethnic Russians in Russia.
