He sees what other world leaders see, weakness. Biden is weak.
Da Comrade! You shall be well rewarded!

Evidence for that? Maybe people see the US as 'weak' because it's clearly so divided, and has such a dysfunctional political system. But where's the evidence that term applies to Biden as an individual?

In any case 'weak' is still better than 'uncertain which side he is on', which is how I'd describe Trump. That guy's dysfunction probably couldn't be captured in a single word like 'weak', but he clearly had a power-worshipping streak to him, alternating between looking to bully anyone he saw as weaker than him and wanting to win the approval of those he perceived as strong (probably Putin above all). It had to have something to do with his relationship with his father, I reckon.

This is just stupid. Why print, or air, a single thing that Putin says. He lies as easily as he breathes. He's just trying to rattle Biden (which won't work) and continue to throw red meat to Trump's base. He gave the interview as a pure attempt at a power play. I really, really didn't want to see a US-Russian summit this early in Biden's administration.

Putin is the PR frontman for the (somewhat murky) Russian oligarchy. He was coached on how to respond in the ~20 minute interview he recently did. He's an actor. He's not as powerful as people think. He will not buck his backers, he's their man, not his own man.

Yeah we're weak.. We should burn the house of every Trumpanzee and force them to relocate to where they belong.. zoos.

Human beings they're not.. they may talk like one, but they don't think and act like one. Removing them from the human living areas is no different than removing chimpanzees from homes.

Trump still trusts Russia more than the US intelligence services.


Russia was always nice to him and told him things he wanted to hear. The intelligence community, OTOH, told him the truth.

Or to put it as Groucho would have, Trump would never trust a government of which he was the head. Smartest thing he’s ever said.
Right there folks, you know you Americans, should never let this man get near government again.

Trolling is too mild a term, he is directly targeting Americans that will willingly turn hostile foreign agents.
That was what I was getting at.
Expect more #Russia normalization on the right wing soon.
So we'll be seeing more of those "I'd Rather Be Russian Than Democrat" t-shirts?

This thread is about Russia and has nothing to do with China. You are free to start a new thread on the subject however and I recommend you duly note the G7s stated concerns.

AFAIK, the cyber attacks crippling various US institutions recently have been launched not from China but from Russia. I'm not worried about Chinese eating my lunch. But if I go looking for beef for my lunch it's going to cost me more because Russians tangled up the American supply chain... NOT CHINESE. That's right, RUSSIANS ate my lunch!

Yea, I suspect so.
I expect the militant right wing to embrace the Trump friendly strong leader from the east... and that Russian agents will reach out to the right and bridge them with intelligence. I'd wager it has already happened.

The best way to beat a common enemy is to work with your allies.

The problem is to Trumpers, their ally is power and Russia, not America and democracy. They want to be like Russia, they just want to be the Putin and his oligarch backers.

So to see Biden doing it right, instead of selling out America to Putin on the world stage, bugs the shit out of them. So attack Biden.

Pesky fact. A tyrant who uses murder against political enemies would have no problem allowing Trump to drop a few bombs on his troops as a strategic means to an end.

Pesky fact. There has NEVER been a President siding with a murderous dictator over his own country. EVER
Trump Sides With Putin Over US Intelligence on Alleged Russian Meddling - YouTube

Take a guess who @s0me0nesmind1 sides with?

It's not like the GQP could turn the whole party around and embrace Russia like the victorious ally Trump wanted them to. They didn't build his wall. They didn't do shit about healthcare he said he was doing. Trump was corraled a decent amount by the GQP, who was not quite sure how far they could go to betray their country for Trump with at the time. After all that did hold power so no need to completely surrender to Russia yet. Now after the election we know that they are more willing to do so.

But all the evidence shows not only did Trump's campaign try to coordinate with the Russians, Trump took the knee to Putin on the world stage. On camera.

Face it. All you conservatives are cucks to Russia.

Scumbag traitors.
