    The stupid thing is that the unified West had no reason to fear Putin’s hollow threats until Trump started doing everything he can to destroy what makes the West strong. He wants to roll over in front of Russia and make the US Putin’s bitch.

    The West won’t roll over like him though. They’ll strengthen their alliances against Russia and will become something far stronger. It just won’t involve the US anymore.

      Trump is afraid of putin because of the shit he has on trump. Trump is a russian asset, there is no doubt about it.

    Putin may or may not have video proof of Trump raping a child but Trump sure acts like Putin might.

    I abhor Putin, but he is a legit badass hard motherfucker; whereas Trump is pudding by comparison.

    Really, I’m shocked, daily, that so many Americans have rallied around this guy, McRib Bonespurs over here, as their populist “tough guy.” It’s so goddamned weird.

      Not really a shocker for me tbh, most Americans that I met (and I worked in several US companies so I met some) were insecure loudmouths. Sure some of them were very good at their job but when talking to them they behaved like they invented hot water.

      I’m contrast, in my part of the world we have a saying which translated would be “shuts up and does/makes”.

      Until now Putin did, Trump on the other hand is just making noise.

    What a weird article. It bounces from hyperbole to real discussion to Fiona Hill’s childhood.

    But as for ww3, lol no. Russia is spent. They can make a mess of Ukraine and Central Asia but they are spent.
