Summary
Donald Trump sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a “dictator” and accusing him of corruption, aligning his rhetoric with Russia’s stance.
His remarks followed a phone call with Vladimir Putin and reflect his long-standing skepticism of US support for Ukraine.
Trump’s “America First” policy prioritizes reducing aid to Kyiv while shifting focus to China.
While some Republicans voiced concerns, Trump is wielding total authority over his party.
Uhhh… he loves Putin. Duhh, he’s going to peacock for his idol. What a moron.
I believe he is beholden to him by way of blackmail. Remember the Steele Dossier.
Steele was first to warn that Russia was mounting a covert operation to elect Donald Trump. Fusion GPS – his partners in Washington DC – have called this the dossier’s ‘foundational initial assertion’ and it was correct. Much later, the Mueller inquiry would state that ‘the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome.’ Steele wrote about what was happening as early as June 2016…The US intelligence agencies…did not publish their findings until December 2016, too late to prevent the effort to influence the election.
The current head of the national intelligence service is a Russian Asset. She’s probably feeding Putin approved information to Trump, along with Putin himself in their private phone calls.
