    Trump is nothing without people with actual power, but the movement he led to power is not. If the conditions are right for its emergence fascism, like life, finds a way. Thinking Trump is the root cause of anything strikes me as very unwarranted optimism.

    If you take Putin out, the rest of the world stands a chance at ridding itself of the evil that Zionism has infected it with, regardless if Netenyahu is around or not.

    How so? There’s very little interdependence between Israel and Russia (not that they’re not chummy with each other, but that this chumminess isn’t decisive a la the US or Europe).

      Might have misunderstood me? He’s not the root cause of anything. It’s why the “3 people” in the poster aren’t on equal levels. He’s an opportunistic con man that somehow believes cleverness is equivalent to intelligence.

      Israel is wholly dependent on its existence by the US. The US has supported Israel because of the exact same influence that Russia manipulated, except Israel has been doing it with far more money for much longer than Putin himself.

      If you kick the peg that is Putin, there will be a cascading collapse of authoritarians. The only ruler that gets to avoid that from what I can tell is Xi Jinping.

        How so? You said it yourself; Israel has been doing this shit way before Russia could even hope of trying.
