Your comment relies on a childish conspiracy story rather than any real analysis. Calling this a “false flag” and asserting secret Trump–Putin coordination without evidence isn’t serious thought. It ignores material interests, observable behavior, and well-documented power dynamics in favor of a simple good-guy/bad-guy narrative.

A more grounded way to look at this is material reality. The U.S. is lashing out at allies and neighbors because it is a declining imperial power under economic strain. Profit rates are falling, industrial dominance is slipping, and internal political legitimacy is weak. In that situation, imperial states default to pressure, militarization, and threats to reassert control and discipline allies. This is not a secret plan, it’s how empires behave when their economic base starts cracking.

Finally, conflict between imperial powers is normal. The U.S., EU, and Russia are not working in harmony or through hidden puppet strings; they are competing blocs with sometimes overlapping but often conflicting interests. NATO states undercut Ukraine constantly due to their own economic limits and political calculations. You don’t need a grand conspiracy to explain that, inter-imperialist rivalry and self-interest already do the job.

Where do you people even get these things. Trump has punished Russia heavily, in both of his terms. Trump had direct connections to Ukraine and Zelensky in his first term. Trump has given untold amounts of monetary and military support to Ukraine. There’s just absolutely no basis for the notion that somehow Trump and Putin are secret buddies. It has no facts to back it up and yet you weirdos absolutely INSIST on it. It’s like you go outside and see a blue sky and absolutely POSITIVELY KNOW it must be orange.

If Trump is working with Putin, then what’s the angle behind seizing a ship painted with the Russian flag?
