    Accusing others of falling for propaganda while denying that trump is a russian assett is very funny.

    That’s like denying that israel is committing genocide while israelis very openly call for genocide.

      You mean like what Democrats have done the last few years?

        Yes. That’s what i meant. I thought that was pretty clear.

        Your denial that trump is a russian asset is a willful denial of reality on par with americans who deny that israel’s genocide is a genocide.

          Trump is a capitalist asset chosen by the same donor class that chose Biden and every president before them.

      denying that trump is a russian assett

      Pro Russia is pro multipolar world is pro China.

      How could Russia trick American billionaires into supporting a candidate that undermines their global ambitions?

      The US billionaires can push for an impeachment at any time. Trump must be their candidate.

        Simple, by propaganda. Or did you think billionaires were immune? I’d say they are even more vulnerable because they surround themselves with yes men that agree with anything they say. Sprinkle that with a ton of blackmail and you got yourself a russian asset.

        May even use their greed for profit against them, whether it is from the war industry, exotic metals, or plain old deals. They will get their share and destroy democracy if it is in the way.

          Maybe a dozen fall for his charm but his gaudy style can’t convince the billionaires like it convinces the masses.

          American workers can’t unionize at Starbucks. That’s one billionaire. Putin can’t have managed to outwit all 1,000 billionaires.

          Nothing that Putin can offer can compensate American billionaires for losing hegemonial power.

          American billionaires destroy democracy. But it is for them, not Putin.
