      Trump is loyal to no one but Trump. He’s been aligned with Putin for now, but I can absolutely believe that at some point eventually his ego will decide he no longer wants to be friends.

        Pretty short sighted, which is also on brand, for the Kremlin. I’m sure that by now they’ve discovered that whatever incriminating info they had on Trump is essentially worthless, since none of his supporters care about any of the horrible things he’s done. And, he’s found himself in the position of being able to steal, cheat, and grift right out in the open with zero consequences, thereby lessening his dependence on laundering money for the Russians.

        They wanted an agent of chaos and they got one. Unfortunately for them, this particular agent is very difficult if not impossible to control.

    Putin: Hey Krasnov, it’s becoming too obvious. Tone it down a little, I’ll even give you permission to say you are angry at me. Don’t forget papa bear still loves you. 🥰🍆🍒

    This is just Trump. High on his own power, he thinks he can bully everyone around, even if they’re not under his power 🤷

    I’m under no illusion that this is the start of a more critical stance towards Russia or will have any positive result for Ukraine. Or any positive result at all. Or result in anything at all.

    I am kinda curious how the Kreml will respond though. So far they’ve been careful not to call the USA an ally afair.

        it’s like you agreed to let someone beat you at tennis to impress the girl he likes, then he gets carried away with it and starts clowning around like a total fucking idiot

      It seems like evidence that at least trump is not an outright russian asset though, right? He’s just an idiot (and they probably have some dirt on him)

    The news media is just feeding his narcissistic needs. Want to know what would really piss him off? If we forgot he existed for a week or two.
