As someone who grew up during the height of the Cold War, it's hard to describe how shocking a statement like this is. The US spent trillions of dollars to prevent something like this from happening to anyone in the government, to have the president compromised laughs in the face of all that.
Don't say they didn't warn you.
History books are full of stuff like this - it just takes a long time of sustained effort, longer than a single generation.
Reagan is spinning in his grave.
Hook him up tot a generator and solve the energy crisis.
He'd just spin even faster knowing that.
Infinite energy glitch
It was Reagan where things started going off the rails, ironically.
I mean, he basically was last time. So…yeah.
Nothing the GOP is doing right now helps the United States.
Just have to ask “who does it help?” And the answer over and over is: Russia.
Edit: Maddow did a piece saying this exact thing (which was the impetus for my post initially). And I know WE all know that, but I hope more on air personalities keep saying it.
Have I forgotten something?
Good point, I add:
Where? I did miss that
Thank you
In this way, according to the calculation, Americans would regulate the German gas tap and earn money at the same time,” Bild wrote, noting that the U.S. government itself would not be directly involved
Grenell was an asshole meddling to much with German Politics as an ambassador back then, and I hope my Government will not participate in such a stupid deal where Energy Security is dependent on both Putlers and Musk's Goodwill
There is a second angle to all of it, and that's the Elon Musk/Peter Thiel/JD Vance angle, which also appears to be aimed at imploding the US but the goal there is privatizing government rather than helping foreign nations.
That's a good point.
They want to help Russia but also line their pockets along the way.
100%.
Afaiu, they don't give a hoot about Russia, they just see the US as "declining" and thus want the US to end as quickly as possible, so they can privatize the remains for their own benefit.
Actually there's more to it than just their own benefit, and it's far more dangerous.
It's about saving the world by destroying it. There is this strange movement called accelerationism, basically the idea that tiday's world is doomed and we should speed up it's destruction to trigger {the rapture,world revolution leading to communism,settling Mars,alien intervention}.
Three separate former KGB agents all attest that he is indeed a Russian asset. They didn’t provide evidence, but I believe them.
Also the Kushner and Flynn stuff. Literally wanted a back channel to communicate with russia but whatever. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Links_between_Trump_associates_and_Russian_officials
Commenting on developments, Stuart posted to [Twitter]: “We have to consider the possibility that president Trump is a Russian asset.
“If so, Trump’s acquisition is the crowning achievement of [Vladimir] Putin’s FSB career — and Europe is on its own.”
I can't believe I'm agreeing with a Tory, a former Tory minister at that. We really are in the worst timeline
Lol the "possibility"? Listen here, fuckwad... He is. That's coming from an American. Trump is 100% a Russian asset.
Welcome to our hell. Stop relying on us until he's been removed from office.
Just because he acts like it and you think he is doesn't mean he is a Russian asset. You need to back that kind of claim up.
Lol "Sure, he walks like a duck, and he shits like a duck, and he *looks" like a duck... But where is the evidence?"
cause he acts like it and you think he is doesn’t mean he is a
Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck,....
Whether or not he is, stops mattering if everything he does can be understood and makes sense if he is.
Edit: I shouldn't say everything. A part of it can be explained by a mental impediment, and/or dementia. A separate part by narcissism and self interests. But the rest, my my, what a treat Trump is for each and every geopolitical enemy of the US.
Look at who has been funding him since he went bankrupt for the 5th time. It's obvious
What kind of evidence do you have that he's a Russian asset?
Keir Starmer has attempted to act as a bridge between the United States and Europe, having hosting a summit of nineteen leaders, including EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and Nato chief Mark Rutte, on Sunday.
Addressing MPs yesterday, the prime minister insisted the UK government will not “choose between” the US and Europe, as it attempts to secure a lasting, sustainable peace in Ukraine.
Starmer said: “I do want to be crystal clear. We must strengthen our relationship with America for our security, for our technology, for our trade and investment.”
That all sounds very unwise. I hope that behind the scenes the UK Government is less deluded.
As a Brit I'd be surprised if they were that deluded, the more pertinent question to ask should be is the USA government that deluded?
The words don't match the whispers
I suppose they try to buy some time, to get out of the mess that much of UK security info and equipment is closely dependent on US. But indeed at such a pivotal moment, when there even seems to be cross party consensus, it's daft to miss the chance to re-orient towards Europe.
No fucking shit! And it's the entire globe that needs the KY Jelly.
You don't say...
Good morning princess Stuart!
Your sarcasm that appears to indicate Mr Stuart is one of the last to realize — it may be a little misplaced, given that Starmer and Labour have apparently not awoken yet.
Also: happy cake day!
It's frustrating that maybe little by little someone is starting to consider this, after all Trump has done so far. But yes at least mr Stuart said it, I'm wrong. Everywhere there's a strong imvincible will to close eyes and hope that somehow the war will close itself doing minimum effort possible, and after that business as usual. No country take it seriously, unless it's too late. They're always one step behind. The smartest understood after a month or more of Trump's historical disasters.
Senior Conservative MP says ~~UK must consider possibility~~ ‘Trump is a Russian asset’ - Politics.co.uk
