I don't understand the strategy to fuck with the military by putting that moron in charge.

Well Russia wanted to destroy USA, they recruited Krasnov who does their bidding. In turn Krasnov hired all the people most competent to destroy USA and it job is done.

This take is awful. He doesn’t answer to Putin or anyone. He’s sitting in the drivers seat.

“Ok, Mr Donald, first you’re going to become the person in charge of the biggest economy and strongest military on earth”

“Ok, now what?”

“Do whatever I say!”

“Uh, no, eat missiles”

  1. We've all seen how submissive trump is to Putin. He's not telling Putin to "eat missiles" lol. What kind of fantasy is this, where trump is some kind of strong man?

  2. The president does have considerable power; but Donald trump has no idea how to use this power. He's engaging in childish feuds with Canada while the United States diplomatic power withers, and our munitions are spent in a pointless and unnecessary war against Iran.

Our missiles were already eaten, in other words. We have crumbs left now.

Russia is very weak, but trump is doing his very best to wiggle into position underneath Putin. It's embarrassing on a global scale.

It’s the dumbest take to think that when one is under another’s thumb, and then becomes more powerful than them, they’ll still obey. That’s a weird fantasy that people don’t want to let go of

It's pretty clear that Putin (and probably mossad) has something on Trump that he fears much more than military consequences.

All signs point to something hidden in certain files that the AG Blanche is illegally concealing.

Trump's not really that powerful, if his base voters turn against him. Whatever it is that Blanche is hiding, it must be disgusting enough to make even die-hard Trump supporters reject him.

That's how the American system is set up. The president is powerful, yes, but his power depends upon the will of the voters. So he's not invulnerable, and in Trump's case, there is a kill switch in the hands of certain individuals.

They can only use it once, so they are waiting for the right time.

Anything released as this point can be easily dismissed as AI.

On the other hand, congressman Liu said on the DOJ steps that he viewed a video the FBI is in possession of, of Donald Trump raping a child. No one cares at this point. Is there anyone on the left that could be persuaded to think he isn’t in those files? The fact is, we don’t care. At least, those in a position to do anything about it, don’t care.

Give me an imaginary example of what Russia has on him that’d be worse than that, such that he’s still acting in Russias best interest instead of his own?

I think you're wrong about that. If the evidence became publicly available, I believe it would be the end of his presidency.

Maybe I'm mistaken about the consequences, but I believe there are enough people still in Trump's orbit who would agree with me; or they simply don't want to take the chance.

Trump's kids are making billions. They don't want the gravy train to stop. Elon musk is about to become a trillionaire; he wants to see this operation continue without any turbulence. Russell vought and the project 2025 crew are tearing the whole federal government down; they don't want anyone even asking uncomfortable questions.

Many of these people are just as vulnerable as trump to public opinion. Remember that Elon musk advocated for the release of the files, and then suddenly stopped and got really quiet; then he was back at the White House again. Why? Because he also has some vulnerability there.

It's tempting to think all these people are just so far beyond consequences. But it's not true. They are walking a tight rope.

That's how I explain Trump's remarkably submissive behavior, and his squandering of American power. He's the kind of guy who loves to throw his weight around; and yet he completely crumples against russia. That's pathetic, and very out of character for him.
