  1. He’s a real estate dude, who closes deals. A useful idiot.

    That’s all.

    He is grossly out of his depth, but knows how to get a deal done. He looks at a map, “knows” Russia holds a better hand at the moment, and tells the “winners” how to sell it to a guy who also just cares about “making a deal”.

    Russia doesn’t have to pay him when he’ll do it for free.

  2. Oil and Gas Cartel same people who overthrew the US government

  3. Why does the US keep paying him to take Russia’s side?

    I hope there are some serious trials and serious prison sentences in the future to clean up this mess.

    That trump was never punished simply allows him, or others to repeat their crimes.

    Brazil’s Bolsonaro is serving a 20+ year sentence for trying to overthrow his government. He won’t do that again. Nor will many Brazilian wannabe dictators.

    The US is like….., **Derp!?**

  4. He’s been making deals with corrupt Russians, including their mafia, for decades resulting in millions in dark money.

  5. Vitkov works for Krasnov, the russian asset, what’s so difficult tot understand?

  6. Because he’s a bought shill at best and a Russian asset at worst. Next question

  7. I never thought I would see the day where the USA betrayed its allies to Russia!!

  8. Because he was appointed by Trump, and Trump is pro Russian.

    Ergo, his “deals” will be pro Russian

  9. He fancies himself an oligarch, simple as that.

    He is a real estate developer who cosplays mafioso CEO in New York, and has been in/out of Trump’s circles for most of their lives. He likely got his current appointment for this combination of reasons, and no other.

    And if there is one thing Putin / Russia can play, it’s the oligarch game.

  10. Are we to assume he has not been compromised in the past during any dealings with Russians?

  11. Steve Dumkoff, that’s why. He is just a Putin pawn.
