“What’s at the core of this is an effort by some in the intelligence community to upend any positive relationship between the U.S. and Russia,” Kucinich said on the Fox Business Network. “There are people trying to separate the U.S. and Russia so this military-industrial-intel axis can cash in.”

Trump, Kucinich argued, needs to “get ahold” of his intelligence apparatus — and fast. “This isn’t a joke; this is serious. If he doesn’t get control of where the information is coming from, he’ll never know the truth. The American people will never know the truth and we could be set at war with almost any country,” he said.

Kucinich makes sense. The military industrial complex benefits from actual or potential conflict with Russia.
