Oh my, this speaks volumes to the one hour + Trump/Putin phone call and to the entrapment of Zelensky yesterday

The new axis. Russia/USA which is odd because apart from gas/oil and some ageing nuclear weapons, Putin brings very little to the table

So why is Trump jumping into bed with him?

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions.

Trump is compromised through debt and blackmail. He owes Putin and Putin is collecting.

europeanbriton.bsky.social•2 days ago

Putin has Novichok maybe?

alanjstedman.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don't think that's a maybe, it's surely a dead cert

europeanbriton.bsky.social•2 days ago

Just to be clear, my “maybe” was not “maybe Putin has Novichok”.

It was “maybe Trump is being threatened by Putin with Novichok”.

fifer54.bsky.social•2 days ago

Or: Maybe Trump is being offered Novichuk for his own use by Putin, if he turns out to be a loyal little Krasnov.

alanjstedman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh, that makes it different

Possibly!

The MAGA Nazi Party has surrendered the US to Russia.

ledredman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump and Putin share the same Kleptofascist ideology. They are natural allies.

alanjstedman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, but my feeling is that it's got to be more than an ideological bromance

ledredman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump clearly owes the Russians a lot of money.

I read a large portion of the raw (!) earth minerals TFG (probably for Musk's companies) wants are in the RuZZian occupied part of Ukraine.

I’ll just leave this BBC article here … https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38589427

zbris.bsky.social•2 days ago

Interesting

zbris.bsky.social•2 days ago

Was Epstein involved in any of this?

msbluewednesday.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don’t know any more than the article.

zbris.bsky.social•2 days ago

No me neither. If I ever see that link it’s a ‘bingo’.

alanjstedman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Managed to find it now

I see it's from 2017

I'm surprised that if it really was a thing that since then nobody else has been able to expose (sic) it

Not saying it didn't happen of course just wondering how nobody has been able to make it stick

msbluewednesday.bsky.social•2 days ago

Amazed the Beeb reported on it tbh

alanjstedman.bsky.social•2 days ago

The author is a respected journalist tbf so there must have been something, but it's just not really been picked over further so it's either lack of evidence or Putin really does control the whole world!

I'm not inclined to the latter btw

msbluewednesday.bsky.social•2 days ago

Poss lack of concrete proof, maybe as you don’t release that until you need it?

alanjstedman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Possibly

alanjstedman.bsky.social•2 days ago

The link will not open (I don't know why but on my phone the BBC links simply won't open) and I can't find it via BBC news search on the app

What's the general drift?

msbluewednesday.bsky.social•2 days ago

General key words.
Orange. Prostitutes. Russia visit.

alanjstedman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thanks that helps

Story re #Krasnov isn’t new. There was already another credible source “Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years…so willing to parrot anti-western propaganda there were celebrations in Moscow, a former KGB spy has told the Guardian.”

There's this 2017 piece as well

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38589427

alanjstedman.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's not

But I do think that the people telling me Putin is running the USA atm (not you!) are not really thinking clearly

The people of the USA voted for Trump and even if Musk fiddled things a bit, they knew he was capable of it and still voted Trump

incompleteness.bsky.social•2 days ago

Damn, this is so transparent! and this is why they wanted a Christian nationalist drunkie moron as Defense Secretary

cambsforeurope.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's ideological. Trump admires Putin.

Look at the way the Trump administration is changing the USA, dismantling accountability and good governance, and accelerating towards being a corrupt autocratic oligarchy just like Russia.

alanjstedman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes get the ideology bit completely but Trump doesn't do anything unless $ are involved

So for me there's something more

Endless possibilities, but I'm not sure we know exactly what it is

'Bromance' doesn't cut it for me

zbris.bsky.social•2 days ago

I have believed for years that Putin has evidence of Trump doing much worse than peeing on consenting adults and I haven’t seen a single thing that’s made me think it’s anything else.

johntonks.bsky.social•2 days ago

By joining forces they present a strong alliance against China.

alanjstedman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Possibly that but Xi and Putin seem to be relatively good buddies atm. That could of course change
