Good question. I'm afraid the Republicans are only marginally better than the Democrats on Russia, and if anything worse on China and Iran. So Rolf may be slightly over-optimistic.

Dr. Barrett,

Among the many things I've learned that make sense to me so far since 2007 that has been spun, had its meaning changed or ignored altogether is that our Founders actually gave us a Republic, not a Democracy with electronic voting machines now even, which is one of the dumbest things ever from mankind. They gave us a Republic, and for good reason, from their experience of fighting these same type of psyop scammer bastards they fought from England to protect us from an insouciant and easily manipulated majority, which we definitely have. I've learned that we've been lied to about almost everything since the "Federal" Reserve, which is actually a private banking cartel and has never been Federal, was allowed to take over America's money supply in 1913. These psyop scammer bastards roll out these psyop scams already knowing how their dupes on each side will react, and they play them to the hilt against each other, as planned, while ignoring lots of crimes that that they cover up. Yes history was bad all over the world but I hear some people say sometimes that some people won't wake up. But I know some people that do believe me about these psyop scams and just say there's nothing we can do about it, so more people know than some think I believe. When some people say there's nothing we can do about it I think in reality that's just them not admitting the importance of getting out from under these psyop scams. There are unfortunately some people, who I never would have thought at all, who will not admit the importance of being responsible in these areas. As I told James Corbett and Broc West, the video editor of The Corbett Report, in a comment recently, all we can do is learn and share the best truth we can that we know about at whatever time. We should all keep learning when we can. Stay strong is my advice. Turn off the US and BBC legacy mainstream media "news" and don't listen to these scammers anymore who try to get in our conversations everywhere and legitimize their corrupted fake ass system and their fake news. If people keep helping them kick the can down the road, well, that's just what they want people to do.

Hacking Democracy [HBO Documentary] (2006) (1:21:58) - The film the voting machine corporations don't want you to see. Hacking Democracy follows investigator/grandmother, Bev Harris, and her citizen-activists as they set out to uncover how America counts its votes. Proving the votes can be stolen without a trace culminates in a duel between the Diebold corporation's voting machines and a computer hacker - with America's democracy at stake.

A Republic. If You Can Keep It (15:24)

On the first “Constitution Day” - September 17, 1787 - Benjamin Franklin had a pretty dire warning and prediction that went far beyond his more famous quote of “if you can keep it.”

Thanks, I agree, which (along with alliteration) is the reason I prefer "end the Empire, restore the Republic" to "end the Empire, restore the Democracy."
