[S.E. TN Liberal]

"...Former State Department officials were "mystified" and "bemused" by the United States' purchase of medical supplies from Russia amid the coronavirus pandemic -- a move that experts say is a propaganda win for the Kremlin.

A Russian plane with the equipment touched down in New York City on Wednesday, with an air traffic controller thanking the pilot "for all the assistance you are bringing in." The delivery came days after President Donald Trump spoke by phone with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin...."

11. As I once mentioned last

October,the Giant has awakened. Awareness of the Corruption and Treasonous actions by the Orange Anus Crime Syndicate is slowly being reported and those folks who suffer from Stockholm Syndrome of the MAGA,are becoming aware. Especially in those Red State Bastions when their bank accounts are ringing empty.

Through out History,when the Pocket Book is picketed dry,those whom are victims,do react at the polls.

2. Trump is such a weak, weak man. nt

4. Putin isn't bailing out his puppet; Trump is expressing his fealty by showing weakness / submission

A plane of shit from Russia isn't going to improve or fix anything in the US, unless it magically contains half a billion doses of a vaccine which by all accounts does not exist yet.

But Trump CAN make the US look weaker and more incompetent and impotent than ever before by accepting assistance from a nuclear-armed tinpot tundra dictator.

5. It's a Russian PR scam. They did thd same thing to Italy and the supplies were worthless.

“Of those Russian supplies, 80 percent were completely useless or of little use to Italy. In other words, the delivery was more like a pretext,” an Italian government official told the leading newspaper La Stampa. According to the official, the Russian delivery contained, for example, equipment for bacteriological disinfection and a field laboratory for chemical-biological sterilization—not the ventilators and personal protective equipment so desperately needed by the Italians.

6. This disgusting

"The Russians will fly in as many planes as possible to create the perception that we are reliant on Russia," a third former official said. "If we keep accepting it, this makes us look weak and them look strong."

7. Nope, this isn't enough to bail us out. Just enough to make us look stupid and him good.

That's why he told drumpf he was going to do this, laughing at his total incompetence and doing everything possible so the whole world knows to disdain the USA and praise him instead.

8. I would first check to see if they are clean. nt
