    Putin does suck. Yet, he was still able to play Trump. What does that say about Trump?

    Again I’m not claiming a Putin is a genius. I’m claiming Trump is easily manipulated. You seem to be having an argument that I’m not making.

    Trump says a lot of things. Among those on more than one occasion are that he believes Putin over his own Administration. In addition to telling Merkel she should spend more on defense he also threatened to pull US out of NATO something that Putin would love.

    Putin is a failed leader. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t able to get a lot of benefit out of Trump.

    You don’t need to be a genius to control trump. You just have to offer him money.

    In another rambling, nonsense answer, Trump tried to make his claim again that Putin would've never dared invaded Ukraine because Trump "had a dominant personality over his."

    Putin laughs, as he watches the guy on his puppet strings, and winks at his comrades.

    GOP’s turmoil plays right into Putin’s hands


    As is well known by now, a band of far-right GOP legislators removed now-former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday night, days after he prevented them from shutting down the government by reaching a deal with House Democrats to fund operations for 45 days.

    That late Saturday night agreement left out urgently needed military funding for Ukraine.

    Ukrainians reacted with anxiety. And that was before McCarthy was dethroned and the Speaker’s chair was left empty, with the outlook for support for Ukraine in limbo as the result of almost-incomprehensible political games in Washington.

    Ukrainians have been fighting ferociously to defend their country, and it’s hard to imagine that would ever stop. But the odds for victory would shrink if the US withdraws its support. And a loss for Ukraine would constitute a defeat for NATO, for the US, and for the democratic world.

    A Russian victory would pave the wat for Putin to reconstitute the former Soviet Union, and even larger Russian Empire

    In the new budget submitted to the Biden White House, Speaker Mike Johnson has proposed splitting money for Israel’s war effort from the aid to Ukraine


    Stem Ukraine spending now and Putin wins

    Trump pardoned a lot of his white collar criminal friends and associates. They are all peas in a pod of corruption and crime. They were all shady grifting scumbags like the orange man himself.

    The US gov secret system is broken if it can’t maintain the security of a highly sensitive binder, especially when there’s still uncertainty about its whereabouts two years later.
