    Even if there was none of the evidence (“Krasnov” codenames claim, etc) the fact that at every turn he does exactly what Putin and the Russian oligarchs want and is actively harming the US and other western countries means everyone needs to treat him like he’s a Russian asset. It almost doesn’t even matter if he officially is or not…

      I 100% agree, but what makes me scratch my noggin’ is the fact that people in London finance have (jokingly?) nicknamed the City of London as “Londongrad” because there’s so much Russian money. Makes it feel like the entire 1% is a Russian asset, which can’t be right.

      Yup. He is an asset to Russia whether or not he is a willing asset.

        The only question is whether he knows he’s a Russian asset. Trump may be working for them without realizing it. All Putin would have to do is convince him he was just giving him advice, one wise ruler to another, because Trump is special and brilliant, and provide a few incentives. Trump would believe that taking the advice was all his own brilliant idea.

          Well he is ‘a very stable genius’.

          Does it matter for treason if he himself is aware?

              I agree. Not saying it did. Currently he seems to not have any legal issues in that regard or is seen as such.

              History will tell though.

      Yeah, the Krasnov stuff is somewhat funny in a dark way, but he definitely serves Russian good over US good, whether he’s an official asset or not. If his actions are treasonous, does it matter whether he’s been recruited?

    The odds Trump isn’t a Russian operative are far far far less than the odds that he is a Russian operative.

    I mean, the only question at this point is really whether he was one before he ran the first time or if that happened later.

    This is so stupid. He is an asset, whether intentionally or not. Russian media is having a heyday with him. Whether he is an “agent” or not remains ambiguous, but he is absolutely an “asset” to them.

        Assets don’t have to have be in on it intentionally. A tank is an asset. A forest at the border can be an asset. But to be an agent takes volition and consensual involvement.

          Asset may be a bit strong. Theres every chance he’s simply in their pay for some issues/events and there’s nothing to stop him ignoring them when it suits him. I’d imagine he’s rinsing them for money and believing that he’s getting the best of the situation. America and the American people only pawns in trump’s latest scams.

          Oh I agree. I’m just saying that whether there is intent there or not doesn’t really make much if any difference to the outcome.

            If he’s getting played by Russia and he doesn’t know it, he is an asset but not an agent. We all know how retarded Trump is, I think it’s possible that he’s not a literal agent.

    Earlier this morning a coworker mentioned politicians wearing their corporate sponsors like NASCAR drivers. This was my response:

      I mean yeah, but at least the rest of the world is calling it out this time around. America fell, but they can pull together and be stronger for it.

    From ‘America First’ to ‘Russia First’? Stuart’s theory raises uncomfortable questions.

    Possibility? Whether or not the fucking KGB really recruited Krasnov, the mofo is definitely a Russian asset.

      Yeah, when the Krasnov thing first got published, I said something to the effect of, “I would skeptical of explosive, unverified claims like this because they may be disinformation, and either way there’s more than enough evidence that Putin has control of Trump.” Then someone accused me of being a Russian asset because everyone has brain poisoning now.
