    Russia is America’s bitch since they put Yeltsin in power what the absolute shit. Trump isn’t Putin’s bitch. The opposite.

        I still don’t understand how that exchange didn’t end his political career. He had said a lot of stupid shit up to that point, but that was when I distinctly remember thinking “this guy is like a 4 year old child who’s been caught red-handed.”

          Some white folks decided the momentary getting away with saying the N-Word was worth voting for a raging moron instead of a boring candidate

    Did you mean “on something” or “unto something”? Vastly different meanings.

    Franc tireur is an absolute piece of crap, but even a broken clock it right twice a day I guess.

    I don’t think so. I don’t think Trump has any allegiances to anyone but himself. He’ll only go along with what Putin wants so long as it serves Trump. That’s awful, of course, but he’s not a puppet.

      That is probably exactly how he sees it, yes. Unfortunately for him, Putin is actually quite competent at manipulation

      You’re very wrong.

      That’s fine, I’m just saying, his connections and the naked influencing are very well documented. How Much he’s a puppet in terms of what he may or may not “believe” versus what he’s told to do is a question. But that he is - for various political topics - directed, there’s no doubt.

      Example: Ukraine
