It’s like Putin takes his talking points from FOX News.

You’re fuckin’ with the wrong POTUS, Vlad. Just wait’ll you see how the oligarchs react when their overseas assets are frozen, their visas invalidated, and their internet speeds throttled down to 54K modem speed.

Fuck. You.

“we have significant cyber capability”. :joy:

Biden said he’d read a couple of biographies of Pootypoot.

Has there ever been any additional information about the “closely placed asset” that Trump compromised - the “asset” that had to be extracted via extraordinarily swift means - yeah the "asset " that was so close that they could “read papers on the desk of Putin”

That was a colossally stupid blunder by Trump - except it probably wasn’t a blunder - it was treason - it was aiding the enemy on purpose - Trump engaging in “point shaving” for personal gain in the game of espionage

wonder where that "asset " is now …

Any U.S. President that wants to dress down a foreign leader for subjecting their citizens to hardship has a rough road to hoe. All anyone has to say is “You guys were led for 4 years by an insane criminal narcissist with fascist authoritarian motivations. A grifting, lying, bombastic shyster. One that probably stole his first election through subterfuge, and damned near did it the next time he ran. And you’re lecturing us about how we lead our country? Take a damned look in the mirror.”

Putin’s logic is tortured much like Donnie’s, but Donnie’s is far more tortured. Donnie can hardly form a complete thought or sentence, and that probable makes him stupid.

That’s also been the Russian whataboutism playbook literally since Stalin. Doesn’t mean it’s relevant.

So many treasonous blunders (and blunderous treasons) that I have forgotten many of them. Including this one.

When Americans cry about abuse I have to laugh. This country is the biggest collection of self flagellating morons on the planet. Probably at least 75 million of them that would rather do a death dance with an often fatal virus than go to the bother of getting vaccinated. STFU.
