There's a definite "Wag The Dog" crowd on the American Right, let's put it that way.

And it may be one of the few things which have merit on their side -- this President is going to get himself hanged by January or February of 2025 if he's not careful.

How about the MAGA crowd, who would have no problem with Putin coming in and taking over, with everything he believes?

I've said something about the US Dollar several times: "Full Faith And Credit", but of the US military.

Perhaps this is a message, more than anything.

Oh NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO...

This fucker is old-school USSR with new-school cunning.

This guy is all about Mother Russia, with him in charge, and does not want it to be a smoking crater, but the Greatest Nation on Earth.

He has to deal with the USA first in that regard, but neither currently holds the title.

Exactly what the MAGA crowd believes Biden is doing -- Wag The Dog.

The problem with that is that this has been Putin's thought process for at least eight years now!

It is kinda funny watching people like Tom try to pull this narrative off
while Trump and his crowd are gushing over Putin.

I'm not aware of any "pro-Putin fifth column." However, if there were,
Joe Biden would be the leader. Inviting him to invade Ukraine, and enriching
Putin while causing inflation in the US.

I read one of them, yesterday, saying they wish America's leaders would love their country like Putin loves Russia.

It’s one thing to feel that way, it’s another thing to publicly admire Putin’s “savviness” at this particular moment. It reminds of the people that are like “yeah it sucks he blew up all those people, but the unabomber made some good points in his manifesto.”

If they made a 1980s style Cold War movie, then the final shot would be Putin tied to a chair alone in a room. Then you see the Klitschko brothers enter the room and close the door behind them. Roll credits. Play jock rock music.
