He’s openly helping Russia to get them the land they want.
He hasn’t supported severe punishment of Russia for what they’ve done.
He’s been openly attempting to turn Ukraine into a resource colony instead of actually just helping them get their damn territory back.
I honestly think questions like this are always asked in bad faith; or at the very least, the person asking it is very ignorant as to what’s going on, maybe even willfully.
Why do you think Russia gives a shit about those countries beyond them just being situationally useful in Putin’s eyes in the same way that Donald Trump is?
Republicans must be inconsistent and not make sense.
That said, I don’t think Trump is a Russian puppet. He’s their useful idiot. Russia did meddle in our elections, but the entirety of their work seems to have been to amplify Republican messages — so, really, what difference does it make. Still bad; we still don’t want foreign interference. But the Republicans are just who they’ve always been. Trump is just who he has always been. These dumb bullshit tariffs were something Trump advocated for before the fall of the Soviet Union, and before any of us would’ve known of Putin’s existence. And Republicans have always been disastrous for the economy.
They’re inconsistent disasters because that’s just who they are, no foreign interference needed.
Trump’s tariffs choices this last week just made China the anchor of the world economy…
The support given to those countries is extremely limited and mostly to cause us to wasted resources fighting them. Iran and the Houthis are mostly used to give the west trouble.
Locked. Rule 3. If you’re just here to push a pro-China agenda, then you’re not here operating in good faith.
