Putin is not some 4D Chess master. This should be blatantly obvious since 2022. But he does not need to be what you make him out, all he needs to be is a little bit smarter than the orange idiot.
I remember the first time I started to pay attention to geopolitics. It was when George W. Bush was elected president, and it made me freak out a bit. Why would a country like America elect such an obvious idiot to the highest office?
I also remember that Putin in comparison seemed like an intelligent, sensible person, even if tad intimidating.
I'm not sure what my point is except that George W. is a genius compared to Trump.
It wasn't too long ago, we thought palin is batsht insane and stupid,she still is but ?
Of course. I wasn’t praising him, but comparing his experience in political manipulation to Trump’s. MAGA isn’t any better, taking Putin’s word that he’d “much rather have Biden or Harris in the White House” than Trump.
