You know, part of the reason you have that war in the first place is Biden went around mocking Russia and mocking everybody else and didn't know what he was doing."

Gosh whether you like Trump you gotta admit the guy is right! Remember how Biden would rudely trash talk foreign leaders all the time! It started so many wars let me tell you...

How come that logic doesn't apply to anyone else, then?

Presumably he has not made actual deals with anyone I guess.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

Because everyone else has to make deals with him. Totally different

Trump is gay for Putin. It's plain to see.

Well, and the piss tapes.

[–] j5y7@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

Different kind of "p" tapes.

It was never piss, it was always P as in pedo.

I thought it was because he's been laundering russian mob money through his real estate business since the 80s.

I don't think this is blackmail. I think he's completely boxed himself into a hole of his own making. He needs Iran to stop shooting at tankers but he's so undermined his own credibility that they won't trust him to negotiate and don't think they need no negotiate with him. So instead he's looking for someone to export oil not in the Middle East before midterms. Its the same reason they removed sactions on Iranian oil while bombing Iran.

He's screwed himself and is now begging for anyone to dig him out of his hole.

He doesn't much Putin because he's afraid of Putin and a bit in awe of him.
