[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

[SouthSaxon]

Putin knows he has Trump's admiration and uses it to manipulate him. We know that Trump is a narcissist and is quite easily manipulated by people who know what they're doing. The rest he intimidates through aggressive outbursts, playground bully style.

In Putin, he's more than met his match - a man whose authoritarian style he admires and aspires to (but cannot) copy. A man who is an actual bully, a psychopath, not just a playground variant. I think Trump is probably intimidated by him, in thrall to him, and freezes up when given the opportunity to challenge him.

I remember reading an article on here, from Raymondo I think, which argued that Trump was afraid of Putin.

This would explain a lot.

Again, I'll simply ask, what kompromat could possibly embarrass Trump above and beyond what's already common knowledge?
More than the Access tapes, Stormy Daniels, his association with Epstein, his criminal convictions, his mafia connections....any one of these things would have brought down any other politician. Trump just shrugs them off.

I agree, he wears his indiscretions and bad behaviour like a badge of honour

Footage/audio of him supporting trans rights.

Wow. And Ukraine will be working on their next drone hiding place.

Next Ukrainian drone hiding place.

 

[Sirnormangall]

Wow. And Ukraine will be working on their next drone hiding place.

It’s probably already in place. Their ingenuity rivals Mossad.

 

[Eric the meek]

Could this be true?

Could this be true?

It could, to some audience, and he'll say differently to another.

It was from Fiona Hill, she knows him well.... probably buried somewhere in this article .

Why was it a 'good conversation' when Putin told Trump he is going to respond to the drone attacks and that peace is not coming any time soon?

The deranged, orange cowardly c***!

He should have been threatening Putin about not responding rather than eating up the BS about Iran, a key ally of Russia.

"And one last thing Krasnov, tell your media this was, um, a "good conversation" and that Russia will respond "very strongly" to the attacks on our airfields. Oh, and Krasnov, make sure you mention the planes were "docked". In return, I will make sure the Pissing Girls will be visiting your Presidential Suite in Istanbul. I may even join you for the fun."

Estonia expels Russian citizen to 'prevent and obstruct security threats'

Estonia's Police and Border Guard (PPA) said on Thursday that it had expelled a Russian citizen and accused him of contact with Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB).

Good riddance!

Anyone else becoming a bit of a 'kaboom' addict? I have to admit that I go online every morning just hoping to read about another successful Ukrainian strike on something valuable to Russia.

I feel that each one just inches us closer to a defeated Russia and a free Ukraine.

It could be more than just association with Epstein. I would think something involving minors on Epstein island and having video evidence of this (plenty of those rumours knocking around on X and the like) would ultimately bring him down and turn off even the most committed MAGA loons/supporters. This is pure speculation though of course. This would be the only outrage left really that he hasn't shrugged off in the usual Teflon manner. (And there would still be a lot of warped people who continue backing him even if this were even remotely true).

The other angle is, he is being literally bank-rolled to the tune of millions by the Kremlin (and has been for decades) and that rug gets pulled immediately the moment he steps off-script. It could of course be both of these things. The depressing thing is even if all this came to pass.. we'd have Vance in place immediately and I'm starting to think he (and his backers) are even worse.

You think Trump having sex with minors would put off the most committed MAGA follower?

Most of them marry their 13 yr old cousins and make their own daughters pregnant.

They wouldn’t bat an eyelid.

I’m being serious .

Depressingly I think you are spot on.
It would finish him on the international stage as a politician though surely?

Ten years ago, I’d have said 100%

These days, I genuinely don’t know.

If this was the Kompromat and it genuinely came out, then in any normal era (which this is not), then it would be straight-forward trial and prison.
Just can't imagine how anyone would accept him anywhere.. state visits, tea with King Charles, G7 meetings, pop over to see Macron if these vids are knocking about?
(He'd probably blame the vicious, corrupt legacy media for creating an Ai video though).
