Trump's Truth Social tantrums aren't a negotiating strategy. They're a lifeline for Iran ... and a gift to Russia too.

No ----.

Everything Putin does is designed to humiliate his poodle.

Humiliation and public displays of inferior status are Putin requirements, and Trump does his best to please.

Basically, someone who carefully studies a suitably adaptable creature can often get an animal to perform as desired (or adjusts the act accordingly). In terms of the Putin-Trump relationship (which Putin totally controls), Vlad hasn't trained/conditioned Old Yeller to be a challenging perimeter patroller. What alpha Vlad wanted was a a beta lapdog, and that's what he got.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out Putin also played a role in getting his pet Trump to attack Iran.

It's all about degrading our capabilities.

I'm sure many of you remember that after 9-11, citizens gathered by the hundreds in their respective cities in Iran and held candlelight vigils for the American dead.

At that point in time, Iran could've been steered towards a more moderate political posture, and would have been a cold, yet willing partner against expanding Russian influence in the region, but the neoconservative Bush administration (and many Democrats) decided to listen to Israel and designate Iran as a key part of the notorious "axis of evil".

And now here we are. And it all could've been avoided.

Didn't Pres Putin once say something along the lines of .... that he would destroy the United States from within?

Isn't there a post a week stating this fact?

It's been known for sometime.
