I assume this will be a Trump deal, when its finalised and no other government from European countries also involved will get a mention, it will all be Trump, according to maga. And American news networks will give him the win.

I don’t get why they’re in love with Russia. On most metrics, US is in so much better shape than Russia. What’s so attractive about Russia? Is it personal $ gain or is there something about Russia they want to make us into? If so, why? How do they not see themselves as traitors?

Because conservative White peoole rule Russia with an iron fist. That’s all they really care about. If you’re in complete control of a country, whether a poverty-stricken African backwater or the wealthiest nation on the globe, the money will take care of itself as far as you’re concerned.

Think of a bunch of adolescent boys who are so desperate to prove how macho they are to their friends that they embrace the toughest and meanest action hero they can find.

Russians are white, orthodox, and corrupt with a strong man atop the pyramid doling out favors and retribution among petty Oligarchs. What’s not to love? The Republicans and especially Trump would love to recreate that here.

It's a repressed homosexual attraction that many of the members of the GOP have for Putin. They think he's so manly that they'd gladly assume the position for Daddy Vlad.

It has nothing to do with the economies of the 2 countries. It has everything to do with people who sell their souls to the highest bidder, Russia. They align themselves with a corrupt government to make money. It's replete with quid pro quos.

I see that & agree, but their constituents either agree or are unaware enough they haven’t done much in terms of opposition. Other than straight white Christian MAGA, why would anyone else want this? My problem is I keep trying to find logic in the illogical!

Patriarch Kirill told Putin that Russia is the real world Church leader and Putin uses that to play along and gain world power. Then US evangelicals believe anything their prophet profit pastors say and trump🤡 plays along for the power they give him. Needs to be a denomination that sees thru that.

I can see that for the politician & some business but really curious about their constituents. Reminds me of the family that moved there to get away from LGBTQ, and then the dad got conscripted into their Army. Don’t know how he feels about that trade off now!

There's a fair amount of corruption of various sorts at work. Russia has been working towards this for a long time, and they have immense corruption. A lot of money involved with that. These people don't care about the US.

Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL) Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) Senator John Hoeven (R-ND) Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) Senator John Thune (R-SD) Representative Kay Granger (R-TX)

They want America to be like Russia (oligarchy and power held by white people/Iran (theocracy)/South Africa (apartheid). This entire MAGA movement (Q-anon) has been nothing but a Russian psy-op delivered to America by these Repuglican tratiors.

He was more respectable when he was on MTV here in Canada and went by the name J.D. Roberts. Now...he is just a pathetic loser in the orange moron's world. He's listed as being a Canadian-American. HE might think that, but us Canadians, we don't think of him as a Canadian anymore. Sycophant!

Remember when Jr said, paraphrasing, that they had all the finance they need from Russia, ie their banks. If you really listen to the Trumps, they always tell on themselves. And that goes for Nazi GOP as well.

They love the idea of a country where all the rules and laws are for those without a friend in government and those with friends in government get to choose who to target those laws and rules at.

Trump and Putin are flaming and losing altitude fast. The network between the Russians and Republicans is strongly connected. Putin was the richest man alive. He could afford to buy an American Political Party especially one based on greed and white supremacy. They had so much in common already.

Me too. I didn't even notice the "slip" at first listening. Our Republican party is completely aligned with Putin. The clip ends before Cotton responds, leaving me wonder if even he noticed it
