4. Not Trump. It's Putin calling the shots.

We're Italy. Russia is Germany.

7. This. Following the Kremlin's plan, they've been spending a ton of

...money internationally on the far right just as here in the US.

6. Putin has gone international

These ex=Trump campaign officials are just more of Putin's willing puppets. Some people will sell their soul for money.

8. Yes. Putin has copied the republican playbook by getting a patrician dyslexic

elected and fill his head with whatever he wants.

9. a few things. NRA harms America, and Russia used them

Russia has been courting the NRA, CA separatist movements, and right-wing propaganda for a few years now.

Note that: Russia is using right-wing extremist movements to harm America. The NRA is bad for America and Russia knows it.


Also Steve Bannon has lost power in the US since his Republican billionaire patrons, the Mercers, started using him as a fall guy. So now he's traveing around Europe trying to court racists.


So there are some international connections. But Trump's racists-plus-billionaires movement is going to be squashed by hardworking, fairminded individuals everywhere.
