p.s he is either tired or i dunno.. his russian was so terrible from time to time as if he was not a native speaker.

Live statement was made at 2.30am Russian time. He was tired.

Well, Russia is a communist country after all. But in reality is not wrong for him to say it, since Trump is a russian asset.

lmao what. The Cold War ended over 3 decades ago and the wrong side won.

MFs be conjugating nouns

"Our Trump"

Putin from Yorkshire confirmed.

Then again, he did make people wait over 2 hours to hear him say he was gonna have another meeting in a week which is pretty hilarious

idk what kind of behavior you're talking about but it's really easy to explain Trump's behavior regarding Russia by looking at Trump's behavioral patterns and personality. We can Occam's Razor this shit. Man's a deeply insecure loser with a pathological need to be seen as the winner and a strong man. So he likes strongmen. He likes winners. Russia keeps on winning -- the Ukraine War is clearly a defeat for NATO and has been since about 2023. Therefore, Trump will be friendlier to Russia just because he wants to be on the winning side. Simple as.

It's not just Russia. He'll suck up to anyone because the most important thing for him, psychologically, is to be aligned with other winners. Man just praised the bravery of Ansar Allah (with good reason!). It's all about his brand. If he hitches his brand to winners, then his brand's a winning brand too, no matter how pathetic he himself is.

He also thrives off chaos and antagonizing the liberals. The more they get themselves into hysterics about Russia, the more Trump has a neuron activation loop of "Russia good because it gets the liberals upset at me, and then they screech about it, and that's publicity for me, baby!"

I really cannot take "Trump is a Russian asset" conspiracies seriously at all. It's good to be skeptical of russiagate stuff since it's largely a fabricated scandal that exists primarily to absolve establishment liberals of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by running Killary over Brother Bernard, and the "trump is a russian asset" shit is just an extension of that same bullshit conspiracy.

Also let's be real, Russia's had some very shrewd statesmanship. Why on earth would shrewd and competent political agents trust Trump to be a reliable asset? He's completely self-centered, extremely fickle, and can't stand firm on his decisions. Because he cares more about his public image and his personal brand than about any actual policies.

Russia is capitlaist. We are capitlaist. There is no reason to not do business together. All the anti Russian stuff is political theater for the masses and left over cold war propaganda

The assumption that we have to fight Russia because they're the "bad guys" is grounded in this idea of "idealist interventionism," that American foreign policy is motivated by benevolence and promoting freedom and democracy. There was a time when that was politically hegemonic in both parties but the complete failure of the War on Terror has broken that down and bred more skepticism of those assumptions. That skepticism goes in all sorts of directions, from leftists who correctly identify that US foreign policy is motivated by the material self-interest of the ruling class, to nationalists who think that it's motivated by idealism but should be self-interested, to libertarians who see it all as "the government doing stuff."

Trump's approach to foreign policy is built on appealing to nationalists and libertarians. Any ideological differences between the two are easily papered over by the democrats screaming "Russian bot" at anyone who doesn't want to kill a bunch of people halfway around the globe for the sake of "freedom," and by parading around the Cheney's, who are emblematic of that ideology (and it's failures). When Trump persued an exploitative mineral deal with Ukraine, that's red meat to the nationalists who are just as warmongering as the liberals but think the problem is the veneer of idealism, in reality, Trump is likely to keep the Ukrainian meat grinder running but he's selling it to his base with, "We're doing this for our own material benefit" because they respond better to that than, "We're doing this to uphold international norms and promote democracy."

Trump once bragged about sending "offensive weapons and tank killers" to Ukraine when Obama only sent, "pillows and blankets," and that's true. All that really matters is Trump being able to distinguish himself as an "outsider," as an alternative to the status quo everyone's fed up with. It's kinda similar to how Trump promoted COVID vaccines while trying to take credit for them and his supporters booed him for it, because if the Democrats are saying one thing, his base wants and expects him to say the other.

What kind of behavior?

If there's any plan at all, it's to split Russia from China and to refocus military efforts on containing China.

Crappy president is inept; this is not complicated
