Reposted from POLITICO Europe

Friedrich Merz did not even wait for the final results in Germany's election before delivering what could well be a defining verdict on US President Donald Trump, consigning Europe's 80-year alliance with the Americans to the past.

Exactly. Maybe he's a knowing agent (unlikely), maybe he's an easily manipulated idiot susceptible to flattery, maybe he was bribed or blackmailed. The specific reason doesn't matter.

He acts in ways that benefit hostile foreign governments, specifically Russia.

bbenn68.bsky.social•9 hours ago

And it’s even more difficult to figure out why he is acting the way he is if he is not just doing Putin’s bidding rn

cyndicate.bsky.social•7 hours ago

He's a Russian asset, of course he's doing Putin's bidding.
People need to get real about this.

SÍ!!! Read both. Glad they're making the rounds again. We can't let up on this info. People are just afraid to put what they know in writing. You know, cuz high-story windows. In the US, can you even believe this is how we live now.

So many incredible reports from his first term. Remember the high level spy we had to extract for fear Trump would out him?

No one has ever demonstrated to my satisfaction that Russiagate was a delusional belief on the part of anti-Trump people.

weirwoodtreehug.bsky.social•8 hours ago

I don't understand why people decided "Russiagate" was bad to talk about in the first place. Is it because the media figure who talked about the most was a woman? The resurgence of fascism was always global, and Putin was always a key player in it. The cringe wine moms were right. Sorry.

stephanielatour.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Perhaps you should re-evaluate whether the "wine moms" were, in fact, cringe. I think not.

If the EU ever gets its shit together, it would dwarf Russia militarily, and could rival the United States.

They have plenty of oil and gas (Norway/UK/North Sea); nukes (France/UK); a stable currency; robust naval forces; etc.

If only our current UK govt would publish the Russia papers indicating whether it played a role in Brexit (which seems likely)

Every human being understands that Putin owns the Rapist, requires chaos in the west to rebuild a Soviet Empire (his one goal), gives him his orders, and he obeys those orders because he wants to live another day. No exceptions.

So it might be time for a reappraisal of those Russiagate libs huh

gabedorosz.bsky.social•9 hours ago

The honest answer is no, it’s exactly the same - constanly wondering why there’s not more curiosity & outrage around this?

shenloop.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Evidently, no one knew? Really none of our best and brightest HI-IQ folks knew? They don't know what this means? They really think they are going to get a piece of the pie, but they don't know that when they get it there will be no pie in it? Over seventy years gone in a flash with Trump...

Because we were right from the get!

chillygills.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I don't understand how after all those indictments and guilty pleas people still act like 'Russiagate' was somehow invalid. Trump is and has-been Putin's orange fleshlight.

He could not be any more obvious about it and anyone still pretending otherwise is either genuinely stupid or actively lying.

sarafoss.bsky.social•9 hours ago

No, and he certainly has plenty of opportunities to demonstrate that he’s not a Russian stooge

driftingthrough.bsky.social•6 hours ago

What if he is compromised? Doesn't even sound far fetched if the likelihood of someone having dirt as collateral occurs, gedanken.

themeanprogressive.bsky.social•9 hours ago

The reason the first amendment protects the press is because it’s their responsibility to ensure an informed electorate, ffs. I don’t know how anyone with a voice/platform can be taken seriously if they don’t draw obvious conclusions.

dormarkrid.bsky.social•8 hours ago

The (public) circumstantial evidence of a Russian operation is overwhelming.

If only Barak (fucking institutionalist) had authorized a counter-intelligence investigation....

PSYCHOPATH Putin’s/Trump’s/Eloon’s MAGAs are a redux of Hitler’s Nazis = psychopaths (1 in 25 persons in the general population) & their psychotic human pets.

History’s confirmed that the stupid, fragile, reality-overriding (for many), SADISTIC PERVERTS will grow HORRIFICALLY worse until stopped.

ladyoldandgray.bsky.social•9 hours ago

PSYCHOPATH Trump (KGB Codename since 1987: Krasnov) has been Putin’s bootlicker for decades.

WORLD DOMINATION is the agenda as RUSSIA’S Republicans—also cultivated over decades—destroy America/Americans to pave the way.

Putin will drop PSYCHOPATHS Trump/Eloon/Vance out of a window if successful.

His biggest projection-deflection wasn't crying "fake news" at every true thing said, it was "the russia hoax"

Manafort passing US voter info to Kremlin, the Drump tower meeting with Pootin's lawyer, Cambridge Analytica, "russia if you're listening" and on and on and on

Nothing was, or is, hidden
