Oh so today Trump finally made his position clear on national tv that it's Russia First, America Last.
Well we already knew that but it's nice of him to state it plainly for the idiots who had trouble figuring this out.
I'm sure Putin's entire purpose in coming was for that to happen and publicly establish his dominance over the US leadership for the boys at home.
Putin went to bed with a big fat smile on his face today. Dude sure knows how to play the game.
So do you guys think trump has been blackmailed to hell and that's why he is doing all this? Like Vlad has just been pushing him to do more and more insane tasks like that episode of Black Mirror?
My guess: I don't think it's motivated by fear, I think it's motivated by greed. There's money involved. Lots of it. It's business. Trump is in this for himself and he's throwing the US under the bus for it because he's either too stupid to perceive the consequences of his actions, or too much of an egomaniac to care. He also simply prefers the company of dictators because he's got the same degenerate morals as them, so they get along well.
Natural consequences of his debauched personality rather than having his hands tied behind his back. That's what I think.
That's not to say that Putin isn't putting the squeeze on him and making him nervous. Even in business there are plenty of ways to put on the pressure and encourage certain actions.
