YA THINK?!?!
We have been saying this over and over again. He is a Nazi and he is Putin’s puppet.
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.
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…
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 think as we’ve seen multiple times treason doesn’t count for Trumpler period.
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.
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.
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?
I’ve just noticed….what the fuck even is his signature? It begins and ends with an A…Auld BussyynnA
Honestly, why does it matter? Why not just focus on his policy and his actions? Trump is a fascist, oppressing liberties, defunding public services, and carrying out immensely harmful policy. Why the need to attribute that to a third country? Trump is only bad if he does these things because he’s a Russian asset? If he did this all because of his oligarch friends, and the desire for imperialism in the USA, and the increasingly openly right wing governments in all of the western world, it would still all be wrong.
There’s no need to summon le evil people from the east to objectively analyse the evil policy of Trump, and I don’t understand why you guys need a racist dogwhistle to do so when he is literally every single day walking alongside someone who did two fascist salutes in the inauguration.
If this Russian support structure isn’t recognized and dealt with, Trump just be replaced by the next Russian stooge.
Trump was democratically elected, what are your plans against that?
In a broken system full of voter suppression. Not exactly a fair election by any stretch of the imagination.
…which the democrats upheld during the entirety of the elections. Are the Russians behind the dems too?
I prefer my oligarchy representatives to at least pretend they care, but I am not about to carry water for the Democratic Party.
At a certain point the two sides of the same coin falls apart. That point for me is local elections with issues about homelessness. The conservatives campaign to eliminate homelessness by trying to drive them away. The progressives try to solve the actual problems and get people help.
Edit: I also would like mention election reform. Many of the blue states have been hard at work making sure everyone’s vote can be heard. Many of the red states are restricting voting so less voices can be heard.

So was Hitler. Thing is, natural law and positive law can diverge significantly, meaning ctitizens will sometimes have to organize against the products of positive law to preserve their decency and freedom.
Hitler never won absolute majority vote in an election, but I get your point.
I agree fundamentally with what you say even if I don’t believe in a natural law, that’s why I’m a socialist. So I suggest everyone to organise, to unionize their workplace, to build mutual aid structures in their local areas, and to join a revolutionary socialist party.
The USA could use a new electoral system with proportional representation and a new constitution with a weaker president and stronger checks and balances. The two party system needs to end. Laws surrounding political advertising and public financing of political parties should be introduced to get some money out of politics.
Replace common law with civil law to no longer depend on precedent so much. Finally introduce the metric system while you’re at it.
You can bet the Five Eyes are already redacting what they share with the USA
What, does the UK want to go to war with the combined might of the USA and the USSR?!
From ‘America First’ to ‘Russia First’? Stuart’s theory raises uncomfortable questions.

Breaking news, Antarctica is cold.
For now, sure, but I know a real estate tycoon looking to make it much more temperate
Earlier this morning a coworker mentioned politicians wearing their corporate sponsors like NASCAR drivers. This was my response:
Like the Tories weren’t a hop skip and a jump away from him before Reform split their vote.
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.
Not really much to consider. Seems pretty obvious at the point.
If he’s not a Russian asset, he’s working for them pro bono.
