I'm not forgetting. It's just that Russia is clearly dictating some major USA foreign policy and was from 2016 to 2020 as well.

Obviously it's not black and white, the world is full of gray, but just looking at it through a realpolitik lens the USA is squandering our international goodwill. It may be at the negotiating table and the UN, ceding territorial control via soft power (ie: blowing up USAID which is an idea so retarded it's embarrassing) that gave us access to resources and good will for where we stick all our military bases, letting Russia dictate terms on the surrender of Ukraine, talking about pulling out of NATO (also insane) and at least working at odds with it... Etc.

Sorry for the run on sentence.

Anyways I'm just saying sure some Russian elites are also stroking off Trump at times but that's just window dressing. If anything they're doing it because Trump is so incredibly egotistical he can be easily manipulated by pretending to care more about him. That and they want to use him to help launder money and assets (see: cryptocurrency and real estate deals).

Sorry, but about Trump's clearly seen NPL - not only Russia is doing it, but also Argentina under Milei, you are not going to argue Trump is Milei's puppet, I hope. Nobody wants to piss off a narcissist at the top of the US simply because it's going to be expensive if nothing else.

I think the reason Americans love to see Russia as something that strong is because of the Cold War, Russia is not USSR even remotely.

Also I often write alarmist things about Ukraine's situation at the frontlines, but right now they say it's a draw. Capitulation is not something they'll discuss because there's no need.

And everybody already knew that the US can elect any idiot.
