Everything the Trump cult does is to cut off our balls. From citizens turning on each other to wasting our military power on a Middle Eastern country because our Middle Eastern twin can’t share the goddamn sandbox.
Trump is a Russian spy through and through. He is doing everything to make sure there is no America to stand up against the Russian Behemoth.
Thank God for the willpower and cunning determination of the Ukrainian people and all those who went their of their own accord on the behalf of Ukraine. We are truly living in the days of a few heroes and many villains.

Eh … I don’t know.
Why then start a war with Iran of all countries, one of Russia’s allies? I think a complete Russian puppet would start a war with a neutral country, or better yet one of Russia’s many enemies. War with Denmark over Greenland would have been the move for a total Russian puppet. Set NATO at each other’s throats, waste NATO resources, leave Russia’s allies alone.
Now, for sure, he does have quite a lot of Russian influence … but I don’t think Putin is the only puppeteer with a hand up this puppet’s ass. Trump basically listens to and believes whoever was the most recent person to talk to him, the most recent person to give him complements, the most recent person who took him seriously and inflated his ego even more.
-Trump is a senile old man
-Trump likely has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (possibly way more)
-Trump is easily manipulated by his obvious levers of pride and greed
-Trump has done plenty of things that have made him an easy blackmail target
This just makes him a puppet for anyone that has a higher IQ than him, which is not a high bar to clear.
There’s the added complexity here that Trump can’t make his own decisions anymore due to his dementia. He just does whatever the last person he talked to said.
It’s why after talking to Netanyahu he does what Israel wants. After talking to Putin, he helps Russia. Even after attacking Iran, a Russian ally, he removed sanctions on Russian oil in the midst of the economic shitstorm he made, which effectively gives them billions of dollars again. So overall, it was actually a net win for Russia.
Hell, after talking to Mamdani, he started praising him, talking about how much good he’s going to do for New Yorkers, and even repeating some of his talking points. Trump doesn’t have any original thoughts anymore.
Why then start a war with Iran of all countries, one of Russia’s allies? I think a *complete* Russian puppet would start a war with a neutral country, or better yet one of Russia’s many enemies.
Easily justifiable and believable to the magat base, waste material that could be used against Russia either directly or via Ukraine, further political infighting/deadlock in the US, further degrade US’ standing with allies/global community, more global chaos, inflict the same economic stress Russia is dealing with on the world and on it goes. Russia sent over a million of its own citizens to the meat grinder for its own ends in Ukraine, you think it gives a fuck about its “allies” if it means furthering their ends?
What the fuck are you talking about? Russia’s military budget is a tiny tiny fraction of the USA. What fucking behemoth? I though Russia was completely incapable of invading even it’s neighbor and losing thousands of soldiers and day and having to recruit foreigners. What Russian behemoth?!
Russia runs giant misinformation campaigns in order to destabilize western countries. And the election of Trump shows that they’re getting worth their money. And if noone stands to oppose Russia, Putin can do as he pleases. And right now, the most we get from western countries is a halfhearted attempt at supplying Ukraine. Russia is failing to take Ukraine, but they are still inflicting high losses on Ukrainian civilians. If Putin can flip western nations, he can grind away at Ukraine and then the baltics, without much opposition.
But I was told Russia was sending soldiers into battle without weapons or armor or even boots and they had to go scavenge them from the dead. Is that just not true?
Are you saying that Iran is stronger than all of Europe combined and can defeat a military literally 9x larger than Russia’s military but Europe couldn’t do anything against a Russia that has spent the last several years under crushing sanctions and losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and all its tanks, etc?
Like which is it? Is Russiana total shitshow on the battlefield and the US is a gargantuan that can’t even beat Iran? Or is Russia a behemoth that is inches away from dominating the rest of the world if it just gets a couple countries to not send money to Ukraine?
Is it that Russian disinfo is so strong that it can literally take over continents while the US has 3 aircraft carrier groups that can’t even stand up against Yemen?
Like what world do you live in where you can hold this totally contradictory positions. Pick one: Russia is a behemoth that punches 9x it’s weight and can roll over all of Europe or Russia has no way of beating Ukraine except to through wave after wave of bodies into a meat grinder without arms and armor because they’ve been devastated by the brilliance of Ukraine? It really can’t be both.
The truth, which you would know if you ever got out of your information bubble, I recommend DylanBurnsTV on YouTube by the way, is that Putin doesn’t care how many thousands of peasants or foreigners tricked into the war he has to kill to grind forwards. It’s the literal definition of zerg tactics.
On the other hand you have the US, where dear old Donny has developed a taste for regime change after Venezuela went so smoothly for him, while the US population, even MAGAts, has no desire to be dragged into a war. A proper ground invasion will not be accepted, high loss of life will not be accepted. Iran only needs to be able to fire drones at ships or bases occasionally to keep the heat on, while Trump has declared Regime change and total surrender of Iran his goal.
Donny is simply delusional about what he can achieve in Iran without facing wide-spread protest.
That said, it is true that Israel and the US have complete air control and have heavily degraded Iran’s capability at conventional warfare. Something the Russians have not and will not achieve.
And that is just the domain of war-making. When it comes to disinformation campaigns, the Russians are the clear winner. Have you not read the recently released news that Orban was live-texting Lavrow updates on EU discussions on how to support Ukraine? There is a mole in the EU and Nato thanks to, in no small part, the Russian disinformation campaigns.
Because we’ve been seeing literally daily news reports from Ukraine about how badly Russia is doing and anyone who even so much as questions the reports is called a Russian bot or a Russian troll or a MAGA fascist.
And the same is said of anyone who questions whether Russia is actually strong enough to take Europe, despite all intelligence reports saying that not only is it not strong enough but that it KNOWS its not strong enough and that Russian planners have zero intent to attempt an invasion of greater Europe.
So I’m fucking sick of people saying that Trump is a Russian asset and that he’s doing the Iran thing so that America becomes weak so that Russia can finally take over the world like we’re in some fucking comic book series full of villains and double-crossing agents that managed to get elected president because some petrostate that only rebuilt its economy in the last 20 years somehow has secret mind control tech that uses (checking my notes here…) US-developed-and-controlled social media platforms and techniques in order to undermine the world’s most powerful military and most powerful military intelligence system in the history of the world.
Essentially, I’m tried of these fucking delusional narratives and I’m tired of being called a Russian troll for calling them out.

That doesn’t really match my experience

And honestly, going through my history and finding these, so so many of these comments that I’m referring to have been deleted. That could also be a reason you don’t see it. Or it could be that
When I was growing up, there was a super hero named underdog. Now, I haven’t seen any reboots, or anything like that. So for anyone who’s never seen underdog, imagine one of those kids cartoons where animals are people. Dogs walking just on their back legs. That sort of thing.
Well underdog is a regular timid guy, who just seems like an accountant.
And then some danger happens, and he runs into a phone booth, superman style, and comes out as underdog.
Basically, imagine millhouse from the simpsons as a superhero.

Occam’s razer would probably cut this down to:
-Trump is a senile old man -Trump likely has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (possibly way more) -Trump is easily manipulated by his obvious levers of pride and greed -Trump has done plenty of things that have made him an easy blackmail target

He’s been unfiltered for as long as I’ve heard of him. Been in dementia that long?

And remove sanctions / increase price of Russian oil.
The war did raise the price of oil, and make buying Russian oil more popular - so helping his buddy Putin that way.

Why does it have to be one of these two extremes? The reality is likely somewhere in the middle

You know, there are ways of undermining US socio-economic hegemony without killing millions of people.
I’ll never get the BlueMAGA head who looks at American GOP-lead fascism and insists that the real victims of it are Americans.
This, while we’ve got multiple genocides occurring on our watch.
Absolutely sickening.
If Trump is the cause of America’s destruction, perhaps its deserved. He’s not an agent of Putin, he’s an agent of Karma
Sorry, what? I’m high as balls and have no idea what you’re saying
