Tea Pain on Putin's loss of his Primary Asset



Putin has planned a significant assault on Eastern Europe for years, but his plan was most likely designed for a Trump second term where Trump could hand him the old Soviet Union without resistance.

Our votes may save more than just our Democracy.


A few replies…
I didn't think about this but you hit the nail right on the head, he probably planned this out but didn't bank as Trump didn't of so many coming out to vote to squelch their plans that why Trump insist we committed fraud because he probably did with Putin's help again.


Fiona Hill: "There's no Team America for Trump… Not once did I see him do anything to put America first. Not once. Not for a single second."

I heard a commentator say just the opposite today. It goes like this:

Putin did not want to invade Ukraine while Trump was in office because Trump is so erratic and crazy that he is unpredictable.

Biden however is cut more in the tradition of an American president. He is serious when negotiating. One can count on what he says.

Not saying I agree with this; it’s just another pov.

Putin probably figured he might as well try to push his luck now. Why wait to help trump back into the White House in the 2024 campaign, and go through all that extra trouble and expense when it might not even pay off by then?
