I follow Kyiv Indipendent, too. They're in my starter pack.

I've said it for the last decade. All the evidence is there for anyone who will look.

Outside of a full blown make out session on live tv could possibly get any more obvious on that?

rhayadar318.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm sure of it too.

shopgirl2694.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes...Trump is a Russian asset

dojt.bsky.social•3 days ago

This silly theme of Trump being a Russian asset is clouding the picture on what's really going on: Trump & Co want to exploit Ukraine's despair for their profit, they want to rip off Ukraine's national wealth, their minerals, for a bargain. It's raw, vile, simple greed, not a complicated conspiracy.

You know Trump is a traitor.

Well he and vance certainly took any uncertainty away with their performance in the Oval Office today

Been clear as day for years. The entire GOP has followed suit.

Second. It was pretty obvious during his first term as well.

The Russian oligarchs tried to buy Moscow Mitch and Rand Paul with $200 million to finance an aluminum plant in Kentucky as well as funnel money to a McConnell GOP campaign fund. They weren't just buying off Trump.

If Dump is not a Russian asset, he certainly acts like one.

socaltrashpanda.bsky.social•3 days ago

Some of us have known about that since at least 2016, some us perhaps from even earlier...

May be available with english subs, rlse french speakers only... you can have a look at the great documentary from Antoine Viktine :

The idea that Trump is a Russian asset sounds like conspiracy nonsense to so many of us that we reject the idea without even thinking about it. In my opinion, that's a mistake. 1/

ergoone.bsky.social•3 days ago

Just think -- classified documents taken to Trump's private residence, triggering an FBI investigation and prosecution. After Trump won the election, a judge in Florida forbade ptosecutors to release the report, not just publicly BUT EVEN TO CONGRESS. 2/

ergoone.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump claimed he was innocent of any wrongdoing. But that isn't what an innocent person under a politically motivated attack does. An innocent person insists on making the report and supporting evidence as public as security allows. 3/

ergoone.bsky.social•3 days ago

When I add Tulsi Gabbard to the picture.... He nominated a Russian asset or dupe to oversight of the entire US intelligence apparatus. :/ 4/

ergoone.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm bad at reading people. I'm on the autism spectrum. But I'm good at seeing facts when I focus. And I'm good at putting a picture together. I don't think these facts about Dona I d Trump add up to a conspiracy theory. They add up to a great big, screaming red flag. On fire.

lazarel.bsky.social•3 days ago

I came to that conclusion in early 2016, when I heard the dotard say that NATO members weren't paying their fair share.

Some day, hopefully, we will learn how and why the FBI and the rest of our intel agencies failed to prevent him getting anywhere near the Presidency.

lazarel.bsky.social•3 days ago

2/ And we will also hopefully learn how deeply penetrated the Republican party was.

roncharest.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because the FBI has always been a partisan organization favoring republicans. Look what they did to Hillary Clinton in 2016. Look how the FBI refused to seize the classified material Trump stole in 2020. Had the Russian asset been a democrat, the FBI would have been all over it.

lazarel.bsky.social•3 days ago

In the largest sense, they FA'ed, now they are going to find out.

motherofodin.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’ve been saying, trump is a Russian agent, for years.

robferrod.bsky.social•3 days ago

If the author is just now coming to this conclusion, have I got bad news for them. It’s the entirety of the GOP.

We are so sorry Ukraine. Trump is a worthless pos‼️🤦🏻‍♂️🇺🇦🇺🇦

northernmaven.bsky.social•3 days ago

The mad president asking the British Prime Minister, “Could you take on Russia by yourselves?” is more than just alarming. Putin must be licking his lips with glee.

bawsman.bsky.social•3 days ago

IMHO, if the UK piled in with Ukraine Russias shite military would collapse.
3 years and the ‘might’ of Russia could not subjugate a near neighbour who doesn’t even have a navy.
Putin is shitting bricks as his economy tanks and a million of its youth sacrificed for an ego trip.

ubermenchies.bsky.social•3 days ago

He's been owned by Russia since they gave him an all-expenses paid trip and a deal to build two hotels way back in 1987. Immediately after returning, he took out full-page ads in 3 major newspapers (at a cost of $130,000) outlining his plan to stop the US from helping other countries with defense.

gijs8861.bsky.social•3 days ago

And even knowing this, nobody seems to be in a postion to end this treasonous madness.

Remember the Cambridge Five, Fuchs, Nunn etc. The Ruskis play a long game, and Mr. P has been in the thick of it throughout his evil career🧐

phataxe.bsky.social•3 days ago

Please, President Zelensky, do not sign the minerals deal with my country. Do not reward Putin's handmaiden Trump and his band of cutthroat fascist thugs that surrounded you in the White House today. Instead, sign the deal with the EU. Show Trump who has the cards. Americans stand with you.

phataxe.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is there a shred of evidence that he is not a Russian asset? (HINT: the answer is 'no.')

movard.bsky.social•3 days ago

I am also, absolutely certain.

Anyone still believe that Kamala lost the election, now that President Krasnov is 'fulfilling his obligations' with Russia?

This is troubling: “People are shocked today that Trump is betraying Ukraine, he's betraying Europe, he's siding with Putin. Well, he did it as early as 1987, when he was starting to run for the presidency in 1988. And that is very well documented, it was printed in the NYT.”
