I know he’s evil but I kind of love this for him, he wanted to be part of NATO but when it couldn’t happen he was like ok… YOU’RE getting a fat moron. he dances, too. know all the pain I felt
>Shvets, a KGB major, had a cover job as a correspondent in Washington for the Russian news agency Tass during the 1980s. He moved to the US permanently in 1993 and gained American citizenship. He works as a corporate security investigator and was a partner of Alexander Litvinenko, who was assassinated in London in 2006.
>Trump first appeared on the Russians’ radar in 1977 when he married his first wife, Ivana Zelnickova, a Czech model. Trump became the target of a spying operation overseen by Czechoslovakia’s intelligence service in cooperation with the KGB. Then, in 1987, Trump and Ivana visited Moscow and St Petersburg for the first time. Shvets said he was fed KGB talking points and flattered by KGB operatives who floated the idea that he should go into politics.
>The ex-major recalled: “For the KGB, it was a charm offensive. They had collected a lot of information on his personality so they knew who he was personally. The **feeling was that he was extremely vulnerable intellectually, and psychologically, and he was prone to flattery**. This is what they exploited. They played the game as if they were immensely impressed by his personality and believed this is the guy who should be the president of the US one day: it is people like him who could change the world. They fed him these so-called active measures soundbites and it happened. So it was a big achievement for the KGB active measures at the time.”
Take it as you will, but there’s one thing we know for sure. Russia was the only reason why Trump didn’t go fully bankrupt back in the 90s. Back when no American bank would lend him money, he got financed by Russia to stay afloat:
So how come AG Garland, who knew that Trump was a Russian agent/dupe, never brought charges?

No matter how many times this story, and stories just like it, are posted, it won’t change a single MAGA mind. They view the close relationship as a pro instead of, literally, the downfall of democracy.

Someone somewhere has a recording of Putin saying how lucky he is (at length) that Trump got elected. I can’t see how Putin wouldn’t want to boast to someone about this feat.

I didn’t take a lot for Putin to control Trump. Some compliments, a few rubles and a shiny object.

It doesn’t take a CIA director to know Trump is Putin’s puppet. It’s obvious to the entire world.
This reminds me:
