  1. Damn I thought this sub didn’t allow posts from *checks notes* every year since 2016

  2. There’s no “if”, he is highly compromised and has to do Putin’s bidding.

  3. Good news for Trump is once the Epstein files are public, Putin won’t have leverage over him anymore. Or will he? Pee tapes that bad?

  4. The Epstein files prove Putin has pictures of Trump giving oral sex to someone name Bubba. I don’t know why this isn’t the biggest story because it explains all of Trump’s foreign policy with Russia.

  5. Read Craig Ungers book, house of Putin, house of Trump. Excellent history.

  6. Why do we keep pretending that its just a theory or a possibility? Its right there. In the Mueller report for once but for anybody with eyes. Everything he does benefits the Putin regime; weakening the US on a global scale.

    Is that so hard so believe? The US had a Russian spy as head of a FBI department…

  7. Trump was part of a group bidding on a casino in Australia. It was denied due to his connections to the Russian mafia. This was in the fucking 80’s. He had so many red flags and nobody ever looked into him until recently?

  8. Putin is realizing the clock is running down on his Manchurian candidate, so he’s cashing in before Trump crashes out.

  9. Thanks , Was this article published around 2017? 2019? 2021?

    Any of those dates would of sufficed

  10. This is not a novel observation. Back in the first term, he was also doing everything you would do if you were trying to crumble the empire.

    The Silicon valley accelerationists are getting their way.

  11. All the Republicans and libertarians worried about the communist world order, and they elect a Russian oligarch working for an actual former member of the Communist Party and Soviet KGB agent, Putin, who commands more wealth than Elon Musk and who is the dictator of the largest nation by land mass where communism originated.

    Republicans and libertarians are the same people called Hippocrites in the Bible.

  12. In Mother Russia Trump is number one KGB Agent, very nice.

  13. He literally said in public that he trusts Putin more more than every US intelligence agency. 

  14. “But we have to send a message…the working class!”

  15. He is trying to use our army to attack us. His complete abandonment and disregard for our friends in Ukraine is staggering beyond comprehension.

  16. If he were? He absolutely is.

    It was speculated back during his run for his first term, and it’s only been further confirmed with emails from Epstein’s estate that Putin probably has dirt on Comrade Kraznov, namely him sucking someone off.

  17. And there should be an immediate reaction to remove him from power solely because of this. The fact that this hasn’t happened yet indicates an even more serious problem with the United States than just trump.

  18. We knew this during his first 4 years…wtf.

    This guy should have not even been allowed to run again.

    The problem really isn’t trump, it’s the country. Everything he’s done and been allowed to do is just a reflection upon the sad state of the country itself.

  19. He is absolutely without any question a Russian asset. The question is if he is too vain and utterly stupid to realize it, or he is utterly stupid and knowingly complicit,

  20. Yeah no shit. It was confirmed he colluded with Russia many years ago. Why is this surprising?

  21. The biggest coup in Russian spying history was to place Trump as a US president. .

  22. Remember that Trump promised to end this war on “day one,” but during his first call with Putin, they chatted about their “shared history” and discussed how Trump could help Putin realize his goals and assist Russia in seizing control of a large chunk of Ukrainian land.

    Immediately after the phone call, Trump began ranting about how this war is Ukraine’s fault for not conceding its territory to Putin. This is also when Trump started insulting Zelensky in public, repeatedly referring to him as a “dictator.”

    Trump also left Ukraine out of peace talks while him and his allies publicly denigrated Zelensky and Ukraine’s leadership for weeks, and without uttering one word of rebuke for Putin.

    In fact, the Trump administration conveyed that our European allies were more of a threat to us than Russia, all while Trump was issuing threats against friendly nations and escalating economic and diplomatic tensions between us, our closest trade partners and NATO allies.

    Trump likes to say that this war would have never happened under his watch, but he conveniently forgets that he failed to “negotiate” a peace during his first term when Russian sponsored forces were waging war inside of Ukraine’s borders throughout his entire presidency.

    Trump had the gall to call Zelensky a “dictator without elections,” ignoring the fact that one, Ukraine’s constitution forbids elections during war time, and more importantly, that Putin—an *actual* dictator—has held on to power for a quarter century through elections that have been widely deemed fraudulent by the international community.

    The truth is, Trump likely helped accelerate this war in the first place. He even previously called Putin’s invasion of Ukraine “genius” and “savvy.”

    Trump has reportedly threatened to withdraw from NATO on a number of occasions. He’s also been known to parrot Kremlin talking points—even about the annexation of Crimea.

    And every “deal” he’s tried to negotiate so far in his second term has involved either extorting Zelensky or giving into Putin’s pressures, and without providing any real specific security guarantees for Ukraine in return.

    Over the course of his presidencies, Trump’s actions and rhetoric have helped empower Putin. Trump has defended him on more than one occasion, even siding with him over our own intelligence agencies on matters of national security.

    Trump aided Russian proxy wars in Syria; allowing Russian backed forces to seize deserted US military outposts and fill the power void left by Trump’s withdrawal and his abandonment of the Kurds.

    Mind you, the Kurds have fought alongside US troops in more wars than Captain bone spurs.

    Trump actually once suggested that the US partner with Russia on a cyber security task force. It received swift, bipartisan backlash from lawmakers who had to remind Trump that Russia continues to be one of the US’s most dangerous cyber security threats.

    With that said, it’s important to remember that Putin is a dangerous expansionist on a warpath to reincorporate Russia’s old territory. His imperialist ambitions are inspired by a revisionist idea that Russia is destined to become a dominant world superpower and empire. He’s also hell bent on expanding his oil operation.

    Trump is too incompetent, impatient, reward-driven and careless to understand that any overtures of peace from Putin are merely strategic moves meant to give him enough time to recover and reorganize his forces, only to return to war at a later time with a freshly equipped and repurposed “special military operation” for Russia’s land grabbing crusade against the territories of Eastern Europe that once belonged on the peripheries of the Russian empire.

    Putin has violated practically every deal he’s ever made. He’s been waging war against his neighbors ever since he came into power. His imperialist dreams will not be thwarted, not by Donald Trump at least.

    For Putin, this war is *never* over, for Trump, it is over as soon as he can claim that he “ended” another war for “negotiating” a hollow agreement and an imaginary peace on Putin’s behalf.

    The reality is, Trump is not equipped to negotiate anything resembling an end to this war.

    He’s desperate to be awarded a prize and to be granted the title of “peacemaker,” and to do it, he’ll settle for caving into Putin’s demands. Which means Trump will be happy with straining our alliances and strengthening Russia’s geopolitical position, with undermining Ukraine’s nationhood and offering up its territory to Russia with no real security guarantees in return.

    Trump will settle for any measure of “peace,” which means he’ll settle for a superficial and fragile peace that surrenders Ukraine’s territory and independence to Russia, that satisfies Putin’s belligerent and expansionist conditions. A purely one sided agreement that resembles peace in name only.

    Trump has defended Putin for years, like when he pushed back against claims that Putin is a “killer” who murders, exiles, and jails his political opponents while suppressing civil liberties and crushing all dissenting voices. Methods that Trump no doubt admires. Hell, Trump has even indicated that he’s been taking advice from Putin on how to ~~run~~ steal elections.

    Elections in Russia are more performative than anything else. They are decided well in advance, they are rife with fraud and state-run media basically has a moratorium on election coverage.

    This sort of illusion of popular support for Putin is what Donald Trump dreams of—it’s no wonder he’s taking advice from a dictator. Trump wants to legitimize authoritarianism at home and consolidate power under a western kleptocracy modeled after the economic tyranny of Putin’s regime.
