Trump Asked Putin Whether US Should Arm Ukraine

The meeting - which took place three years after Russian forces invaded the Crimean peninsula - was "an opening" for Putin to begin exploiting Trump's "escalating political grudge" against Ukraine in a bid to weaken US support for the country. "Putin was basically telling [Trump] that you can't trust Ukraine, and don't give them anything."

Dotard is a traitor to this country and our military. He should have swung after Jan 6, or at least be rotting in a cell for the remainder of his miserable life.

Trump is such an embarrassment on the world stage. He's both completely clueless and deeply dishonest, a wannabe dictator willing to give away American secrets in exchange for being popular with real dictators.

Putin is a mass murderer exactly in the mold of Ted Bundy, just far more successful than Bundy. To cooperate with such a monster is disgusting and telling of a psyche that is too diseased to ever be trusted with American power , political or military.

If dictator, fascist loving Trump becomes President ever again, what's to prevent him from allying with Russia? A lot. The democratically aligned NATO nations would protest. But, what would prevent Trump from slow l-walking a move toward a break from our current national security allies? Not much.

If Trump were to become POTUS and to have mostly the kind of Congress he wants, he could effectively dismantle America's National Security structure from top to bottom.

He'd likely start with stopping all funds and support for Ukraine. Then, he could call for other countries to do the same.

Further, to help Putin undermine Western democracies, he could ally with the Russia-leaning leaders of Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, and Austria, and attempt to rally support for Putin-friendly opposition candidates in Poland, Germany and France. He could also take security clearances away from former national security leaders and military officers who disagree with him and stack the Pentagon with fascist & Russia friendly officers and career civilians.

He could also close important bases and decommission important military units and continue to "accidentally" (on purpose) disclose sources and methods of US & allied intelligence. What happened when he did that his first time in office? Nothing. He also kicked out everyone, including his translator, to have a private 20 minute conversation in private with Putin. (It's doubtful Trump can speak any foreign language except maybe German, but Putin is fluent in several languages, including English and including the language of manioulation, especially in manipulating self-serving, low IQ narcissists.) Clearly, under Trump,
national security secrets are at risk.

If Trump fills government and military with his acolytes if he becomes POTUS, the damage he could do to our allies' and our own national security could be immense and possibly permanent.

It's like FDR asking Hitler if the U.S> should have assisted Great Britan. When we say Donald Trump is a traitor it is only because Donald Trump really is a traitor. As Don Jr. said "we get all the money we need from Russia." Do you think Putin is a charity for broke rich assh***s? N, of course not. Every dollar he provided Trump came with a cost, MAGAliars can't accept that fact but it is still a fact! Cam't answer? Then you're a coward!

Strong leaders don't ask permission to do things from dictators.

In the end Putin's noxious orange bitch surrendered 3 American military bases to Russia.

Trump verbally fellated Putin onstage in 2018. Trump's love for Pootie has only gotten sloppier since then.

Is Y.M.C.A. allowed to be played in Russia? One of the early b.s. justifications for the invasion of Ukraine (i.e., before de-Nazification and later de-Satanization) was that Ukraine permitted gay Pride parades.
I think they are doing it to stop "the globalists" from forcefeeding us all bugs now, or something equally dumb.

And how we know why - trump has been developed as a russian asset since the 1980s.

Liberals were right all along. Hillary was right. Trump is a russia stooge
