⁦‪⁦‪⁦‪Trump‬⁩ is a Commie directing how and where American companies produce stuff! Planned economies and production demands are the stuff of Communism. As are attacks on individual rights, reprisals against opponents, corruption to enrich the loyalist strata.

This is today’s version of “I’ll end the war on day one.” This statement is meaningless as Putin has zero interest in negotiating. It’s way past embarrassing watching Trump get played by Putin.

Do you know what kind of countries control prices, Donald Trump? Communist countries! You are taxing the American people with your tariffs after EVERYONE said it was a terrible idea and now you want corporations to absorb the cost? That makes you a commie!

As predicted, the Russians want to start negations where they ended in the spring of 2022 when Russia controlled more territory and seemed significantly stronger. The demands are maximalist, as I wrote here.

What’s this bullshit controversy over 86 47? I recall 86 to mean something along the lines of dump, get rid of, trash, discard. If that what was even meant. How is that a threat? What’s the difference with say impeach 47, remove Gabbard, sack Bondi. The MAGA outrage machine is pretty absurd.

Embarrassing Stalinist level propaganda from Trump’s White House. This would work better if the AI represented Trump as Jaba the Hut.

Trump is a dipshit simpleton. He doesn’t understand that tens of thousands of troops were killed and wounded between May and August of 1944, so May 8th as Victory Day for WWII makes no sense from as a starting point. Fuck off, Trump!

Trump is a Russian Asset. This is the way the Russian security and intelligence services categorize him according to their own criteria. A Russian assets doesn’t necessarily need to be a witting assets to be run as such. www.avindman.com/p/trump-dema...

Russia is conducting attacks in conjunction with U.S. pressure on Ukraine. It’s a coordinated effort. Trump’s accommodation drives Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian cities to compel Ukraine to capitulate. Trump may not realize… doesn’t care, but his embrace of Putin/Russia is fueling Russian attacks.

Earlier, I published an article in Foreign Affairs titled “The Perils of ‘Russia First’” detailing how decades of short-term, transactional decision making by several presidential administrations has compromised American interests in Eastern Europe & Eurasia & inadvertently advanced Moscow’s agenda.
