This situation looks like Trump working his best to please Vlad and just waiting for his big Payday.

(12,497 posts)My submarine brethren did 90 day patrols a couple of times a year as we played chicken-of-the-sea with Russian ships and subs, harassing and ramming the shit out of each other in the years following those 13 October days. Putin wants Russia to return to those days. I would hope the country would unite against that possibility.
Today, Many of those same guys now make any stupid anti-libtard excuses imaginable to follow tough guy Trump.
Two weeks ago I took the submarine veterans bumper sticker off my car out of a feeling of shame to be associated with such petty people who obviously served in the military just for a paycheck, and not for a sense of patriotism.
Russia now gets our spoils of war and sets up shop. Wow.

(57,283 posts)Every day @realDonaldTrump finds new ways to compensate Vladimir Putin for his election interference. And every day Putin gains additional incentive to interfere again on Trumps behalf in 2020.

What could be a clearer example of Trumps America First scam than his turning over key U.S. military bases to Russian troops?
