"liberal bullshit"

is this the Trump supporter "liberal bullshit" or the Marxist "liberal bullshit"?

Why did Trump tariff every country on earth except Russia?

Marxist lol

We already do zero trade with Russia right? (I haven't checked but we sanctioned the shit out of them right lmao)

You ever wonder why Marxists sound so much like Trump supporters these days?

In what way are we allies with Russia in your eyes?

If we were, the Ukraine / Russia war would be over already with heavy losses on the Ukraine side, instead we literally just gave them even more ammunition.

Again, it's a transactional relationship for Trump, which I'm not saying is good at all, but it is the case, and to claim we're allied with Russia is just factual incorrect.

I was actually going to commend you for not just assuming I was a trump supporter but.... Rip

Trump is allied with Putin. It's just going to take a while for him to convert the rest of the country.

Again, it's a transactional relationship for Trump,

It's more like a close friendship for him.

Trump and Putin will act in concert if their goals align so they can both personally benefit. They're both egotistical monsters though who are entirely about themselves and their legacy first and foremost. You're absolutely reaching by saying they're close friends or allies, the proof is in the pudding, Trump could have completely pulled out of Ukraine but he hasn't yet. Why do you think that is?

He has a history of stuffing his cabinet with them too:

I already said, it would piss off the rest of his administration. He has to change them slowly. Take over DC so that if the anti-Russia components revolt, it won't matter, for example. Arm DC soldiers. You see where this is going.

Bro he filled his second admin with sycophants, literally just raided Flynn with the FBI lmfao. Sorry you're incorrect and making this both too simple and too complex lmao.

What does any of that have to do with Russia?
