  1. At what point do US citizens start seriously questioning if the US president is compromised since he seems to be making Russia great while completely destroying the US from the inside.

    Almost every US agency has had employees removed leaving them close to being unable to function. It’s becoming blatantly obvious

  3. Meanwhile, Russia only increases its efforts to spread disinformation, plant spies, meddle in elections, and set up puppet governments starting in Ukraine, but quickly spreading to all the former Soviet Bloc countries.

  4. “Warms to” is an odd way to say “is an agent for”

  6. Washington Post (Bezos) has made their editorial page pro Trump, right wing. I doubt if I can trust their political news.

  8. When this is over…. The Nuremberg trials should be repeated. Cannot allow traitors to say ” I was just following orders.” On a side note…. thanks non voting Dems./s

  9. We allowed this to happen. The American people voted for this. We elected to stand behind dictators while condemning democratically elected leaders. We allowed our alliances to be severed by bureaucracy and greed. We, the American people, have allowed our hate for our fellow human beings to jeopardize all of us. As we continue to warm up to Russia, it’s only a matter of time before we collapse into the same disregard for human life at the beckoning of greatness.

  10. I’m sure they will be honourable and cease their cyber operations against the US too… hmmm.

  12. I mean we’ve lost the plot when the maga started to wear “I’d rather be Russian than a liberal” shirts. Too late now

  13. Russia really won the long game here.
    Russia took over and has an American puppet government.

  15. I’m not surprised by this as they’re literally a party that receives all their news and science off platforms like X and FB. All these platforms have been heavily infiltrated by Russian disinformation and propaganda campaigns. I can’t help but think that If Trump was a Russian agent that this would be going down the exact same way. He’s sold us all out, alienated our allies and is in the midst of threatening to dissolve blue states. This is pretty treasonous IMO

  16. In an exchange first reported by the Washington Post in 2017, **McCarthy said: “There’s …there’s two people, I think, Putin pays:** [California Representative Dana] **Rohrabacher and Trump … [laughter] … swear to God.”**
     

    According to the transcript, speaker **Paul Ryan immediately responded: “This is an off-the-record … [laughter]** … NO LEAKS … [laughter] … alright?!”

  17. Always has warmed too…are we ignoring his first failed term?

  19. Too bad Russia won’t stop their cyberattacks against the US

  22. Yup and I bet Moscow hasn’t halted offensive cyber operations against the United States…Take a fkn picture kids, you’re watching the fall of the United States in real time.

  27. At this rate Trump might just grant US citizenship to Putin and let him run for the next President election.

  28. As an Aussie, I will be boycotting all US made products where I can. I’ve had enough of the US.

  29. So when’s the military apparently going to step in …..?

  30. Where did the directive to halt come from? Did it come from trump himself?

  31. Trump was the cheapest and best putin’s investment

  33. US may be stopping ops against Russia, but Russia continues to psyop the US.

  34. The Trump brand is toxic. He has filed for bankruptcy four times in the U.S., leaving him with such a bad credit rating that no American or European bank will do business with him or his family. Chinese banks won’t lend to him either, which only leaves Russia.

  35. If it quacks like a duck, it moves like a duck and it looks like a duck, then it is a duck! Its treason, what he is doing. What proof do you want? Putin has to show you some kgb document officialy confirming who is Krasnov? Is that what they need to initiate an impeachment?

  36. We used to call people like this “the commies” and now they’re the leaders of US with truck loads of blind followers.

  37. So.. US will arm and support them over the next 4 years and after that it’s gona be the worst war humanity has ever known.

  38. At what points will there be protests in the US? From the outside it looks like the US is completely turning on its allies and getting closer to totalitarian regimes. So the whole „we are the good guys trying to make sure the world is free and democratic“ is kinda gone.

    I understand that this may not be that obvious for many people in the US watching Trump friendly media. But there is also the fact, that everyday life is gonna get a lot more expensive due to Tarifs and a lot of people losing their jobs.

    If this were Europe (like France or Germany) you would have people on the streets basically constantly right now. Is everyone in the US just fine with it or thinks it’s enough to raise their voice online?

  39. When Americans realize that Trump has sold them out to Putin, it will be too late and the US will have Russian cancer spreading within itself.

  41. It’s nothing the liberal and moderate voters didn’t anticipate. This is on the idiots from the Red States.
