Trump’s infatuation with Putin
“Our partners (the United States) are calling for openness and transparency. but they are deviating from this postulate”, Putin told reporters during a visit to the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek for a summit of former Soviet republics. This history creates an understandable skepticism by many progressives of anti-Russian rhetoric in Washington.
In an interview this week with CNN, McMullin asserts that his friends in intelligence have told him that Trump’s previous business activities in Russian Federation could have implications that jeopardize his candidacy. Gennady, his father, says he was forced to sell the family business – a sprawling private security firm which employed 4,000 people – for a small fraction of its real value in 2012 after coming under Kremlin pressure for his opposition activities.
Known for making racist and inflammatory statements – in 1996 Zhirinovsky said Russian Federation and the United States should deport their Jews in order “to survive”, and in 2008 he suggested dropping nuclear bombs in the Atlantic Ocean to flood the United Kingdom – Zhirinovsky and his Liberal Democratic Party enjoy considerable popularity in Russian Federation, where he finished fourth in the 2012 presidential election and third in the 1991 vote.
Falling oil prices crushing the Putin’s economy? RT is a Russian cable network owned by the Russian government. This is the first time Crimea elects MPs to Russia’s parliament since Moscow seized it from Ukraine in 2014.
The Russian media faces regular censorship and there are few independent sources of news. But that’s impossible without carrying out political reforms too and Putin doesn’t want to share power.
Some in the anti-imperialist left even rationalize Putin’s support for the brutal Syrian regime, including his sending the Russian air force to conduct air strikes in crowded urban areas resulting in the deaths of hundreds of civilians.
In short, Putin represents everything America is not. Keeping up can make a partisan look more like a shady apparatchik. Putin must get very nervous when he watches it.
The US Central Intelligence Agency and its media outlets started the conspiracy so lets turn the tables on them.
There are two possible explanations for his freakish “bromance”, and neither is good. Whether Trump wins or not, Putin has already gotten good value out of him.
That’s because we have a personage in the United States called vice president.
The second and more disturbing possibility is that Trump likes the cut of Putin’s jib; that it’s perfectly acceptable to dispense with democratic niceties, to plunder your country’s treasury, to attack peaceful nations, to kill innocent men, women and children, and to eliminate your critics by whatever means necessary.
Trump and the GOP must renounce Putin.
“The American oligarchs also do not need such a president”. Two years later, he Tweeted, “Will (Putin) become my new best friend?”
When I heard President Barack Obama at a campaign rally criticizing Donald Trump for speaking fondly of Vladimir Putin, I immediately thought to myself that Obama may be having an identity disturbance. In April, Trump added, “He’s been very nice to me”. Bigger than the far-richer, far-stronger and equally authoritarian People’s Republic of China?
Well, if you’re a fan of unaccountable plutocrats, you’ll love Putin’s Russian Federation.
My reply: “I still believe most Americans have the common sense to grasp that Trump presents the greatest threat to USA security and democracy since the end of the Cold War”.
“It is being prepared by people who are irreversibly removed from Russian Federation, from what is going on here”, Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). “This calculation by Trump unnerves me to my core”.
The Russian capital is now celebrating its 896 birthday with a variety of festivals and shows across the city, which could explain why Putin, who was on his way to one of these events, agreed to cooperate with the brides under the influence of the city’s festive spirit.
