You know, I can easily imagine the first part opening a lot of peoples eyes about Trump if they saw it on it's own. Add the second part and they are likely to throw it into the flat-earth bucket of statements.
I really wonder how much of the current situation in the US is because people would rather be smug and gloat over people with different politics then actually try to convince them.
Trump is 100% a Russian asset, wild to see that after it was blatantly obvious the first go around we were like "yeah let's out a Russian spy back in the white house."
The president grovels to putin: This is an unprecedented loss of u.s. soft power and the world is judging America for it's cowardice.
The president, congress and every major media organization grovels to netanyahu: ....
This does look bad on our part but the main thing making us look bad on the world stage is our support for Israel. If you ask the average person outside of the west what they find most offensive about this administration they'll probably say its genocidal policy in gaza, not it's shakedown of an ally.
That’s just not true
Countries threatened by China care a lot more about this than Gaza
Maybe, but that's a small amount of countries / people. Mostly Taiwan and to a far lesser extent south Korea and Japan. Most other countries aren't threatened by China, and the few that are aren't allied enough with the u.s. to plan there defense around u.s. support.
Meanwhile the Israeli genocide has brought together the large swaths of the Muslim world with progressive anti colonial movements in the global south against Israel and the u.s.
The world isn't just the u.s. and its allies. Most people live in countries outside that political sphere, though most within it tend to forget that.
Another big winner here is China. I would love to know the contents of that meeting between putin and xi, I think back in 2022(?)
It was just this, from both of them:
You said it fellow human, lol.
It wasn’t intentional. Trump followed Putin just as Vance followed Trump. He is just too stupid to have seen how this would play out.
Getting attacked by a foreign leader is such an effective way to rally your people behind you, that governments often fabricate external threats as a way to unify their nation. Putin knew the ways this could play out. The only more desirable result for Putin would’ve been Zelenskyy reluctantly accepting the agreement, but globally discrediting the US was a guarantee.
Putin was a KGB intelligence officer for 16 years before going to work for Yeltsin. The man outsmarts intelligence experts for fun. Trump’s ignorance and ego make him the perfect patsy, and the greedy Republicans in office have fully manifested into spineless yes men that are guaranteed to stay out of his way.
Putin is not some 4D Chess master. This should be blatantly obvious since 2022. But he does not need to be what you make him out, all he needs to be is a little bit smarter than the orange idiot.
I remember the first time I started to pay attention to geopolitics. It was when George W. Bush was elected president, and it made me freak out a bit. Why would a country like America elect such an obvious idiot to the highest office?
I also remember that Putin in comparison seemed like an intelligent, sensible person, even if tad intimidating.
I'm not sure what my point is except that George W. is a genius compared to Trump.
It wasn't too long ago, we thought palin is batsht insane and stupid,she still is but ?
Of course. I wasn’t praising him, but comparing his experience in political manipulation to Trump’s. MAGA isn’t any better, taking Putin’s word that he’d “much rather have Biden or Harris in the White House” than Trump.
It wasn't disinformation - it is a pedophile who had minors delivered into his bed and was filmed during the atrocities. The resulting child pornography is what makes orange guy the lap dog of a psychotic killer.
The rest was easy with an asset that high in the ranks.
It was mostly disinformation though, if you look at how most of the social media, and MSMs ran, it's mostly talking points from Russia in some form another
Could be. It could also just be bribes.
The current situation is really nice for countries like Russia, Saudi-Arabia and China. They just need to pay a few billion to Trump and get stuff that cannot be bought and are easily worth hundreds of billions from the US empire.
Their new crypto grifts really take this to an extreme level. Hundreds of millions just directly given to Trump as bribes now, its actually insane.
Don't normalize imperialistic ambitions as a way to appeal to fascists. Ukraine should be supported, but not because of the need to maintain the hegemony.
If you think the disinformation was directed at "them", think again
