    The fuck, Russian doesn’t control shit, they can’t even control their own troops half the time.

    Trump’s just a shithead who will do almost anything when praised by powerful people, especially if given a shiny object.

      Idk man, you remember that time when Republicans went to Russia for July 4th? Russia might not be able to control their troops, but they have enough dirty money they can buy some US politicians.

        I figure that’s because Russia hates the gays and is ultra right as a government so it does not take much to buy some of the members of the GOP. Doesn’t mean the government as a whole is compromised by Russia.

      There are people in Reform UK that have been paid to spew Russian propaganda and I’m fairly certain Tulsi Gabbard has a similar thing going on. Not to mention that Witkoff dude who’s obviously just on team Russia

      Also, the ties run all the way from the US, across Europe and into Russia via CPAC and Heritage Foundation and more recently the Christian Orthodox church

      So yea, I dunno if “control” is the right word but they defo coordinate
