    one of these people is the target of CIA hit squads

    Allegedly. Its not clear to me Trump sees either of these people as opponents. Everything Israel does coordinates with Russias goals, and vice versus. They might not be coordinating but the outcomes might as well be.

        By putting a mediocre level of effort into paying attention into world events and world politics, and then analyzing those events.

        Its miraculous what putting in even a basic level of effort does. I highly recommend.

        Here’s a visual example that shows how Israel thinks of itself, displaying what I’m talking about (another lemming posted this earlier in the thread, cant for the life of me remember whom):

          Oh no! What could this mean?!

            That Putin doesn’t like being so short. Or you know, he’s really unhappy with not being able to manipulate Obama. Probably short as well.

                I mean, I wasn’t impressed with Obama, but I did vote against Trump every time. The reason that Trump won is because Americans are terrible at spotting propaganda, are racist, worship the rich, can’t tell the difference between tv and reality, and what an instant gratification economy and Trump promised that. They would rather go along with the lie they want to heard rather than the truth they don’t want to hear.

                Putin and many other people saw they could use Trump to further their ends. That also includes Israel and the billionaire class. A lot of money got pumped into marketing Trump. Putin’s been backing Trump since his bankruptcy problems and he was just a way to launder money, but when Trump was slighted by a Black man and decided to run for office, Putin saw an opportunity to divide America. When Trump won, he saw an opportunity to take Ukraine.

                  Putin and many other people saw they could use Trump to further their ends.

                  Trump’s never been shy about putting himself up for sale. That’s the reason Hillary backed him for the GOP primary in '15. She thought he’d be easy to manipulate, then push aside when she was done with him.

                  Possible that Putin made the same mistake, only to discover the EU could outbid him. Either way, Trump’s family has grown fat playing Western Capitalists against Eastern Nationalists.

                  Putin’s been backing Trump since his bankruptcy problems

                  Trump’s been working the US bankruptcy courts to his favor since the 1970s. And Trump’s been trafficking sex workers out of the Eastern Block for his friends in Manhattan since the 1980s.

                  At every step, liberals turned a blind eye or helped him out.

                  Until they reaped what they’d sown.

                    The elites turned a blind eye. The courts saw him as too costly to prosecute fully. But Putin was still a part of this and it’s obvious how he benefited. I don’t know why you’re singling out “liberals”.
