I’ve written before about how Putin wanted Hillary to win in 2016, and of course he wanted Biden to win in 2020. Biden being fraudulently installed worked just fine for Putin too.
As I noted in the subtitle in that article, Putin was also happy with having Obama in 2008 and 2012. Just go back and look at the history of Putin’s aggressions over the past 15 years or more. Trump’s years in office were the only time Putin did nothing. It was very obvious there was no “Russian collusion”, whether to help Trump win or to allow Putin to take advantage of Trump being in office. It’s just a complete absurd lie from democrats, but you should be used to that by now.
Whatever you can criticize Trump for, foreign policy weakness is not one of those things. You can look at the democrats’ insults about Trump for more evidence. The left says Trump is an egomaniac. If Putin believed this, why would he want to deal with Trump?? If you’re the Russian leader and you’ve got plans for any sort of military actions against any other country, you know it will almost certainly make the U.S. president look bad if your military action succeeds. So why would you ever want an egomaniac as U.S. president?? There’s no way to know what that type of person is going to do, but you know that they will want to turn the tables to protect their ego.
The left also describes Trump as irrational, and otherwise questions his mental stability to go along with his huge ego. All the more reason to not mess with Trump. All of Trump’s various insults towards his opponents give you the same idea. Trump returns fire, and often 5 to 10 times worse than the incoming fire. And when he’s targeted the left or RINOs, his fire has been on target.
Even Trump’s immense popularity with his voters, and who those voters are, was a deterrent to Putin. Trump has a cult of personality almost exclusively with patriotic Americans, who agree with Trump’s stated goal of “Make America Great Again” and America first. This is vastly different than Obama’s cult of personality and his base, most of which hate this country and were fine with having it “fundamentally transformed”. America hating leftists work to Putin’s advantage, all day and every day. (They also work to the advantage of communist China, which is the biggest threat.)
Claiming Putin was working with Trump, or that Putin wanted Trump to win, is about as dumb as saying Leonid Brezhnev wanted Reagan to win in 1980 instead of feckless Jimmy Carter, and then Yuri Andropov wanted him to win in 1984 over Walter Mondale. If Carter had been re-elected and then another democrat had won after that, there would probably still be a Soviet Union today. It certainly would have lasted much longer than the 1989 destruction of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent complete collapse of the entire regime over the next two years, almost entirely thanks to Reagan’s military actions.
Peace through strength is a fact. Conversely weakness invites attack. It would have been hard to pick a weaker option from the 2020 democrat candidates than creepy, corrupt, dementia riddled Joe Biden, who also happens to sniff and grope women and little girls in public. Amazingly, you could have picked someone as dumb and that was cackling Kamala Harris, and of course she was installed as VP. You could have picked others who were completely incompetent like Pete Buttplug, and he’s supposed to be in charge of transportation now and showing that glaring incompetence in numerous ways. (If you tell me the damage caused like that in East Palestine Ohio is intentional, I’m not going to argue with you.)
In short, you know without a doubt that anyone claiming Putin wanted Trump to win is a complete fool or a liar. I would bet money that there are many left wingers in the media that admit this in private.
FTR, comparing DeSantis to Romney could be as bad as claiming Trump/Russia collusion.
Great read btw🙏
NATO would not have been allowed to push east with Trump in office.
