  2. > “Trump was like, ‘Why did he do that? Real countries don’t have to do that.’”

    Fucking toddler

  3. Trump is very deferential to Putin, obviously for diplomatic reasons. Definitely not fear. Definitely. /s

  4. He should be, Trump is just an evil, greedy, craven coward.

    Putin is a legitimate psychopath.

  6. Yeah he shits himself whenever Vlad enters the room. 

    And when he doesn’t. 

  7. Of course he is. Putin is basically the leader of a worldwide criminal enterprise/mafia. Trump aspires to this.

  9. Putin leads his subjects through fear. Trump is a good subject

  10. It explains everything clearly.
    Republicans are a bunch spineless pussies. Weak, and scared.

    That is why they cheat, why they lie, why they manipulate, and why they bend the knee over and over again.

    They should be ignored, and laughed out the door. They deserve no respect.

  11. It’s so dumb to me. Because whatever dirt Putin has on Trump could get released, and trump could say “fake news. That’s AI”. The entire GOP enterprise would immediately rally around that. No one would care. He has no reason to fear Putin. Putin could have video of Trump raping Ivanka. Nothing would matter.

    You’d have the GOP screaming “fake news” and the enlightened “centrists” saying “well, I’m not sure I believe this”.

  12. he’s gotta have something on trump.

    or else trump’s addicted to…..caviar? furry hats?

  13. Trump is a shit faced clown pretending to be a leader while Putin is the real thing. Trump is just an international laughing stock

  14. Putin has an orange-stained thumb because Trump is under it.

    Come on, media. Lay bare what everyone already knows: Putin utterly and completely *owns* Trump.

    Stop feigning that their relationship is “odd” or “puzzling”, because it isn’t. Give up on normalizing Trump, he doesn’t deserve that respect. Start reporting the emperor-knows-not-what-clothes-are truth.

  15. no doy, he is a moronic screw up who is now in debt to a guy known for murdering people who disappoint or disobey him. If Putin were to hypothetically say “trash the american economy” Trump wouldnt hesitate.

  17. I really wonder what Putin has on him sometimes. Trump will throw anyone under the bus for a Big Mac. Even money. Trump doesn’t pay his bills he owes so much in lawsuits or lawyer fees or bankruptcies, etc and then grifts millions or billions of dollars and doesn’t pay the bill. What can make him so scared of him?

  18. >when Vladimir Putin unveiled Russia’s first hypersonic missile to the world, he did so with a simulation of the weapon plummeting into an unnamed peninsula bearing an uncanny resemblance to Florida…

    Oh dear. I have no words.

  19. One day the kompromat on Donald will no longer work. That’ll be a nice day.

  20. If this is your first introduction to the clear-eyed analysis that is Fiona Hill, she is solid. She’s seen Putin for what he is and how he operates from the beginning.

  21. Why wouldn’t Trump fear him? Putin holds his whole demise.

    I suspect Putin holds the demise of most of the GOP which is why they are destroying the US economically.

  22. >US president’s former Russia tsar believes World War Three is upon us as White House struggles to secure peace with the Kremlin

    That’s a nightmare scenario. Trump has fired a bunch of the generals who knew what they were doing.

  23. I still remember watching her testify in the Ukraine impeachment investigation and thinking:

    1. Damn this person is another-level smart
    2. Thank god people like this still work in our government

    To this day, I think about how many people like her have been pushed out or chose to leave govt work because of Mango Mussolini.

  24. I’d be terrified, too, if the guy said to me “We been laundering our money thru you since the mid-80’s, we own you, Donny, don’t mess up or you and your whole family will be glowing for 10,000 years.”

  25. It’s ironic, MrsPutin who resides in the WhiteHouse, is terrified of someone he owes
    Billions$ to, MrPutin. ModernCorruptRepublican times.

  26. The puppet is afraid the puppet master will cut the strings

  27. That’s why Trump only attacks marginalized people. Trans kids, illegal immigrants, Palestinian protesters/college kids. He’s a fucking pussy who has never gotten in a real fight in his life. Tangling with someone who could very easily hurt him, he crumples like a wet piece of toilet paper.

    Impressed by Fiona Hill. Smart, Intelligent and Pragmatic.

  28. He is an obese dementia riddled scared sad sad old man who is destroying America like Putin ordered.

  29. Question is what does Putin have on trump? Or maybe he fears something else.
