Does this seem to make sense to you?

[FrenchieCat]

I'm referring to Josh Marshall'S article on Trump/Putin which I posted on my FB....

my good FB friend responded by writing this....

"I have read it. Here is something to consider about his EastEastern European financiers in relation to the exception taken by Trump about Mexico:
The suppression of Mexico by "building a wall" is rooted in seeking to suppress the Mexican drug trade to the benefit of the drug traders of Eastern Europe,Turkey and Afghanistan. The Russia mob has been growing poppies for opium and heroin production since before Russian invasion of Afghanistan.
Trump tightens southern borders, enabling Russians to transport drugs over Canadian borders and even Alaska."

This is the article I had posted....

1. Motive for the Russian Mafia to have lent

So much money to Trump?

[RonniePudding]

2. I'd put literally nothing past that man

Lying, physical abuse, rape, hucksterism, espionage, racketeering.

We KNOW he cares more about himself, his money and his brand than he cares about his country.

So poppies? Drug trade? To quote the dullard from Alaska: "You betcha!"

3. It could, but I would be careful about reading too much into all this...

on edit:

Anything is possible with this guy, but instead of speculating, investigate and see what comes up.

5. It needs to be distilled

Right now it's too cartoonish and broad. My bet is that it will pivot to some in depth reporting on his business ties, which are very real, and his taxes.

I expect we'll see the Times or WaPo and others dig in to this a little bit more. I don't think all of the dots necessarily need to be connected for this to do some damage to him. It's already very easy to see how these questions about his business interests with Russian investors could come up in a debate.

7. I wanna see some tax returns!

4. It makes perfect sense to me, Frenchie~

This isn't getting as much attention, but Russian meddling in the U.S. election IS the biggest bombshell out there.

Russian government hackers penetrated DNC, stole opposition research on Trump

The DNC said that no financial, donor or personal information appears to have been accessed or taken, suggesting that the breach was traditional espionage, not the work of criminal hackers.

It's Official: Hillary Clinton Is Running Against Vladimir Putin

Fulfilling what might be the Russian autocrat’s dearest wish, Trump has openly questioned whether the U.S. should keep its commitments to NATO.

6. maybe, but i don't think Trump himself is aware of all of these details or smart enough to figure it

out.

he probably has some business dealings with russia/putin so just kind of says things which they support like being critical of nato.

for trump it really is about hating hispanics and "keeping them out" .
