Putin and Xi and Kim Jong Un are rubbing their hands in glee.

This follows their mass firings of tech departments in other key government agencies.

This is the height of stupidity. The world runs on tech. Who'll keep us safe from malicious foreign actors (or anti-Americans like Musk)?

SECDEF Pete Hogsbreath also wiped out this science-oriented DOD asset as well, calling it "crap": www.science.org

Vlad's investment in and recruitment of Donnie into the KGB (which is what Russians still call it) is paying off better than either them could have imagined.

Cover for him in Ukraine? Break up the Western Alliance? Crash the Economy?

Kill the Tech Team that keeps getting in the way of Kremlin Bot Farms?

Absolutely nothing Donnie won't do for him.

The world runs on tech.

Meanwhile, Trump is trying to bring back coal as the energy source of the future!

Trump, would have been a great president in 1825. Not so much in 2025.

But hey. If he's successful. Americans will experience what life was like in 1825 America.

White supremacy, poverty, famine, pestilence, and ignorance!

MAGA!!!

Between this and the thread about Russians being given sign on credentials, it's clear our electorate put Russian assets into office to mediate an internal collapse with all valuable assets being made available to Russia.

Great jobs, s^*%heaps.

A whistleblower asserts that Russian agents were directly allowed to access the system information that is being copied and/or destroyed in the Federal government agencies.

The enemy infiltration has already happened and a complete breach occurred.

Trump is a traitor.

I'm uncertain, but it appears they are linking their copy servers to StarLink, that's how their infiltrating allegedly.

Sad and absurd all the money Americans have frittered away on foreign nationals and invaders, foreign wars, and subsidizing foreign countries that never spent a nickel on American aid.

We are such fools not to stand up against policies. countries and decision makers that help others and other countries, but not native born Americans.

This is the height of stupidity

The key question that people need to address is: if Trump were intentionally trying to destroy America would he be doing anything different?

It is my contention that all of this chaos is by design! It is hard to imagine Trump telling many people, if any, his true intentions for fear even they would rebel. He continues to lead, and they continue to follow thinking that he is really "owning the libs". They are like crabs in a pot of water heating to a boil. They may not realize what's happening until it is to late to do anything about it.

Ultimately, he will not be successful because of whistle blowers, the size and scope of the resistance and most importantly, dems taking control of congress: both chambers.
