The Manchurian Candidate, except blindingly stupid and obvious.

Taking bets on how long it will take before this former Soviet counterintelligence officer “falls” out of a window..

This kind of laughable post explains a lot about the current state of your politics, nothing is your fault or peharps the predatory capitalism ft liberalism, everything is the fault of some communist or other external threat scheme.

noncynic.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Yep. Trump as been a KGB/SVR "useful idiot" for decades.

Craig Unger's book "American Kompromat" also describes how the KGB lured the clueless Trump into its fold years ago, and how Trump became Putin's asset.

The Trump presidency is by far the most successful covert Russian covert op in history.

Not surprising.

His KGB name was Vladimir Von SchitzInPants.

Bombshell. How can this claim can be verified? He needs to stay away from windows.

I had to look up Krasnov to see what, if anything, the KGB was referencing. Oh my. Look up Petyr Krasnov.

Okay then... phew.

The bombshell allegation was made by Alnur Mussayev, a former Kazakh intelligence chief, in a Facebook post, reports the Mirror.

heidireports.bsky.social•7 hours ago

The 71-year-old, who previously headed Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, said he had served in the 6th Directorate of the KGB in Moscow, which was responsible for counter-intelligence support within the economy.

One of the directorate’s primary objectives, he claimed,

was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.” According to Mussayev, Trump, then a 40-year-old New York real estate developer, was one of those recruits. "In 1987, our directorate recruited Donald Trump under the pseudonym Krasnov,” he wrote.

OK, Heidi, that means I must update my appellation for him. From now on, it's FFOTUS Kraznov the DIC (First Felon of the United States Kraznov the Deplorable-in-Chief). Thanks for the info! 🙂

Someone should ask TrumPutin at a press conference if it's true, there's a chance he will say it is true

reneedodson.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Russia always looks for corrupt individuals to launder money through their companies

jdlooney.bsky.social•6 hours ago

We already know that this is true via public information and Don Jr admitting they were getting most of their cash via Russians at one point.

zephmarie.bsky.social•4 hours ago

See @craigunger.bsky.social book, "American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump, and Related Tales of Sex, Greed, Power, and Treachery." And Luke Harding's 2017 book "The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow." Info has been out there for years. Corpress keeps it in the dark.

If this is true, why are we just hearing about it now?
Wouldn't the FBI or CIA tipped us off the first time he ran?

Well, if they give him a name .....

montie2.bsky.social•6 hours ago

This. Is. Already. Known. Our intelligence services know this. Senators know this. House intelligence committee members know this. Remember 2015-2016, when Trump started his campaign, this was exposed, but the media was chasing the "steele dossier" and pee tape, not the true story.

kcwilson.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I don’t speak Russian but I assume the ending of that codename, “nov”, translates roughly into “bastard”.

subversionropean.bsky.social•6 hours ago

As a formerly avid reader of Tom Clancy books, "Krazny" means red. Combine that with your assumption and we get "Red bastard". I think that makes a lot of sense.

profdjb.bsky.social•5 hours ago

I don't know how reliable the former intelligence officer is. I do know that djt consistently spouts Russian disinformation and does things that are Putin-friendly. He openly functions as a Russian asset.

duffmid.bsky.social•7 hours ago

We're all calling him Krasnov from now on right?

If so, this is my shocked face.

This might explain what Putin has had on Trump all these years……

swiftiemoth.bsky.social•3 hours ago

it was literally outlined in the mueller report why he’s so close with russia and putin

like im not even american, how do ppl forget that easily?

caioalmendra.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Trump is as american as baseball and being too fat to walk to the stadium.

He is the logical conclusion of Reagan's and Clinton's policies, and tech and evangelical rises.

Blaming on diz ruskies is dumb as fuck.

erikkennedy.com•6 hours ago

Two things can be true, of course.

caioalmendra.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Sure. A state that doesn't exist for 34 years is controlling the largest economy, military and inteligence community in the world. Ffs.

erikkennedy.com•6 hours ago

That's a weird framing. The ex-KGB man didn't say that. He said what he said.

swiftiemoth.bsky.social•3 hours ago

It’s not a “weird framing”, this “Trump is a foreign asset” narrative is so tiring.

Please, he’s a rich criminal that can get richer by siding with Putin and becoming a dictator.

That’s literally how capitalism works. Enslave ppl bc it’s profitable. Start dictatorships bc it’s profitable.

erikkennedy.com•3 hours ago

Sure, but this doesn't mean what Mussayev has said isn't true.

Old news but welcome. Published by The Guardian a day ago. No doubt he's a russian asset.

Not unbelievable. Everything he does in service to Putin. But I would like a little more evidence. But. Wow.

The only explanation is that he is an agent. He is the ultimate Manchurian Candidate!

sunshine3031.bsky.social•5 hours ago

He's wanted a Trump tower there that long? Fast forward to Trump Tower SoHo, he was flooded w/Rusian money & it was Russian money laudering according to a special on tv. The cafe was on the verge of going under b/c very few people lived there. Jr later said Russian money was pouing in. Since 87?
