Remember in the Sopranos when Phil Whacked Vito for being gay.
Tony explained to Silvo, that it was about him, that Phil was sending a message
that he can whack one of his guys. It was a power play.
This is what Trump has done to Putin.
Im hoping Putin and Russia releases all the crazy shit they have to Trump to get
revenge.
But they wont.

(12,336 posts)1. I think this entire scenario was Putin's plan...
Including the gassed civilian children... Distraction and create the appearance of tRump and Putin being at " odds,"...A planned diversion ...Being played again.
Really, what Real value was this base??? Not much more than a show... Nothing in the scheme of things.
