Thread: Russia <3 Trump

    Default Russia <3 Trump

    There have been a few articles recently about the increasingly suspicious links between Trump and Russia. This story reads like a modern cyber-thriller: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_a...th_russia.html

    You'd think Russia would pick someone a little more convincing for their Manchurian candidate.

    What if Trump is the unsung hero here? Trying to throw the election before he becomes a puppet of Russia because of that orgy video?

    Or Trump is the distraction and Clinton is the real plant

    If Russia is involved in Trump (if), it's probably more an attempt to destabilize America and damage its democracy than actually win the presidency.

    This is what I'd expect from Russia, rather than an actual shot at getting their puppet in. Still, overall sounds like a very big "if".

    FWIW, Stein is far more pro-Russia.

    We can destabilize the US and damage democracy all by ourselves, thankyouverymuch.

    That said, I don't buy into all this apocalyptic hair-on-fire political rhetoric. Even if (If) Trump is elected POTUS, it won't mean the end of our Republic, or teh world as we know it! It might tarnish our reputation, and make global diplomacy more difficult.....but we have enough checks and balances (in our 3 branches of power) to weather any Presidency.

    It's not like a President Trump could actually DO the things Candidate Trump promises.

    Trump will disrupt wall street; Clinton will not.

    If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?

    Is that supposed to be a good or bad thing? What's the spin?

    Russia likes Trump but doesn't won him. Russia see's Trump as someone who will pull back from getting involved in what it sees as their affairs (Eastern Europe).

    Putin doesn't give a crap who's POTUS. But he probably would like to see us have internal struggles that cripple our international status and influence.

    Going forward, the Republicans are sure going to have a tough time claiming to be better on national security than the Democrats.

    "Hey, do you remember that time your nominee for President of the United States was a pawn of a hostile foreign power"

    or

    Ryan vs Clinton in 2020 - "Do you remember that time you endorsed a foreign spy as President of the United States?"

    Political memory is short and very hazy. Whoever's the incumbent president in 2020 will be much easier to attack on the basis of recent foreign policy actions with real or apparent negative consequences.

    More evidence of Stein sticking to Kremlin-approved talking points.
