As if, you know, having a puppet of another country, one who is arguably compromised as our President should go overlooked.
What a joke.
As the Eastern Bloc reemerges under Trump it'll be quite fascinating to see Greenwald's reaction to Alexander Dugin's roadmap being implemented.

Then again Greenwald was all supportive of Brexit, had no real reservations of the Annexation of Crimea and Russia's forays into Ukraine, and clearly has no misgivings toward a puppet being the soon to be leader of the free world.

(13,461 posts)Some people supposedly on the left angry that we would dare accuse Russia of anything, and some of them have said we are pushing poor Trump to have to prove he isn't a puppet by declaring war on Russia or something once he is President, because all of this is unsubstantiated, and all criminal accusations ever against Putin are unsubstantiated and unfair.
This is sickening, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck......................................

(62,269 posts)He's going to make bank being more of a Russian stooge than he ever made being a traitor and tool regarding the Snowden leaks.
Snowden himself is in a tight spot, too, being pretty much under complete control by Russia.
Obama would do himself a favor and parden Snowden before Trump literally has him extradited and executed (yes, Trump said that Snowden should be executed; and with good relations with Russia that can be arranged).

It's strange how a phrase can all of the sudden get spewed out all over the place.
they're trying to make this an unfounded conspiracy against Trump.

(62,269 posts)Expect it to be used more and more as anything regarding Trump's connections being dismissed on that basis alone.
Discrediting anyone who has criticism for the traitors is the first line. It's the same way that climate scientists for years were dismissed ever since the 2009 hacking of the CRU, trying to discredit all climate scientists.
This goes back a long way, Russia's infiltration into cyber security and undermining and destroying people one at a time.

(55,445 posts)when I said Glennie was on the Kremlin payroll? Not holding my breath for an apology, though...
Oh, and don't forget he also smokescreened for Russia after they shot down that 777...

(62,269 posts)Even if he wasn't on the payroll it sure sold a lot of books. Wikileaks, Assange, Greenwald, they're all tools for Russian cyber espionage.

Folks here used to uphold Greenwald a pure progressive and anyone who questioned him was a neocon troll.

(16,245 posts)I'd rather he spend time spewing on Twitter over dubious reports of golden showers than spending time destroying this country. I love that he hates people mocking him and that he throws a fit every time it happens. He is a laughingstock and hopefully wwe can goad him into a stroke or something.
