    Under fuckface, we are worried about them being used against russia.

    Trump is consistently attacking all of Russia’s allies: Assad is gone, Maduro is gone, now Khameni is gone. He’s also forced the rest of NATO to increase their contributions while doing nothing to reduce US funding, making it stronger than ever.

    And I’m supposed to believe this is part of Russia’s master plan? It beggars belief.

    What it actually looks like is Trump is preparing for a more direct confrontation with Russia, as the feather in his cap for his legacy. He wants to be remembered as the greatest president ever, and in his mind that means crushing all of the US’s enemies.

      Awww. Don’t worry. Nobody is saying putin could ever be bad. He is everyone’s friend and the most heroic and ethical person in any possible conversation.

      Now go back to sleep. The grown ups are talking

        Meanwhile, the most recent defense authorization act just earmarked another $800 billion for Ukraine, guarantees a minimum of 76,000 US forces for NATO, and secured the U.S. European Commander as the continued NATO Supreme Commander.

        Trump is fooling people into thinking he’s some kind of dove on Russia, but the actual legislation that he signs into law and the actual war footing that’s being implemented are clearly aligned against Russia. You’re sleepwalking right into his trap, he’s tricked people into thinking he wants to make peace with Russia when the reality is that he’s preparing for even more war.

        Stop listening to Trump’s words and start paying attention to what he actually does.
