What an idiot he is.
Plot twist: Trump is just looking to see if the Americans can stand up for themselves. If they remain silent and do nothing like people do in former USSR countries, he will continue to tighten the screws.
P.S. Need to take out a loan for Trump passport at 146% APR, lol

By the way, some Russians (if not most of them) are also voted for Trump. They escaped fascist dictatorship only to make a fascist dictatorship “at home” (in the US).
I think, people from (toxic) collectivistic cultures are mostly uneducated and they don’t realise what trauma/abuse did to them when they lived in their authoritarian (or democratic but poor and corrupt af) home country. Add do this a propaganda that is aimed, among other things, at Russians themselves abroad, that people among their acquaintances/social networks often spread it as word of mouth. They are easily deceived. And as the result, they continue to vote for such bastards who are capable of primitively manipulating people, even in democratic elections.
I don’t justify them, but I would not blame voters (although people should be held personally responsible for their actions and learn to think for themselves). In working democracy with respected rule of law though, there would be a way to remove those like Trump from office almost immediately or check the votes for possible manipulation. Look, how they did it in Romania recently:
If Trump became president and the country immediately collapsed, then the question arises whether checks and balances were fair before.
Some other articles:
By the way, back then, in 1996, there were fair elections in Russia (at least, that’s what they were called), but in the end, Yeltsin began to look for a “successor” (apparently, at the behest of a narrow circle of his “family”, the oligarchs), which was unexpected for everyone, in order to protect himself from criminal prosecution, in case the new president wanted to put him in jail.
Then, as eyewitnesses say, these people found Putin, instructed him to carry out to collect all the assets of the Soviet Union around the world, and after that was done, a meeting was held in the person of 5 oligarchs, who at the end patted him on the shoulder and said “you’re a good enough guy for us”.
Putin kept his word, gave Yeltsin and his family immunity.
I personally think that Yeltsin and Putin were essentially the same people (Putin simply continued Yeltsin’s work of plundering the country), it’s just that Yeltsin was used by the KGB to transfer power, and Putin had already “secured” this position for himself.
That Yeltsin then may have had something to do with organized crime, that Putin (as well as the Russian so-called “special services”, which benefit from them)
Nevermind. When Putin became a president in 1999, there were also apartment bombings in Moscow and other cities. There was a version that it was not the terrorists who did it, but the secret services, in order to increase Putin’s rating, who said “to defeat the terrorists” (and that this was the reason for the start of the Second Chechen War).
I would not be surprised if Trump will use this catastrophe for PR.
By the way, you’re right, they are all gangsters: FSB, SVR, GRU, etc.
You’re OK? Why do you answer on deleted comment? And I don’t see the point to downvoting already deleted comment too.
By the way, Trump wonders if Americans will let him treat them like this and continues to do “his business”
“Boris Johnson with his Russian connections and Brexit is innocent, if you think he is…”

They want to turn western countries also into narcissistic shitholes. It seems like billionaires have power already, not congress

Before I was even 13 years old, I was picking berries in the field, before child labor laws that precluded that.
Parents in former USSR countries think like that
Capitalism is good if there are regulations in place and rule of law is strong.
any sort of illness is a sign of weakness
They think in poor countries exactly like that
I don’t promote violence though, and I understand what do you mean. I just said to people it as a fact that he acts like a typical narcissist will do, and it’s unhealthy. You may have done the best you could, don’t bother.
Stay strong.
