Putin says he’d work with Biden; says Democratic Party shares links with communism

[JLW]

A ringing endorsement.

Putin, sitting for an interview with Russia’s state-owned Rossiya TV on Oct. 7, compared the two main presidential candidates in the U.S. and evaluated each candidate in terms of how Russia could work with them as president. He said despite some criticism of Russia, the Democratic Party holds values he identifies with as a former member of the Soviet Communist Party for 18 years.

“As for the Democratic candidate, what can I say? We can hear rather sharp anti-Russian rhetoric as well. Regrettably, we have become used to this,” Putin said. “But some things are worth mentioning. First, the Democratic Party is traditionally closer to the so-called liberal values, closer to Social Democratic ideas, if compared to Europe. And it was from the Social Democratic environment that the Communist Party evolved.”

Putin says he'd work with Biden; says Democratic Party shares links with communism

Hard to believe you are touting a propaganda news reel recorded by the Russian Information Office/TASS and marked that way in the article. This is just more Russian election interference from their official information office as a news release. How dumb can you get? Trump is the Official Putin Puffer/Fluffer. It is known by all intelligence services around the world that Russian help Trump get elected, using information from the campaign to plan ad marketing on social media in targeted states. Also well known much money from the NRA came from Russia and their agent was also hobnobbing with the Trump campaign. She was convicted, sentence, served he time and deported back Russia. We have been warned they have been and are at it again. Good job on the thread Yuri. Now get your dumb Russkie ass back to the troll farm.

Great Post and right on the mark. Trumpers know that Trump is Putin’s candidate. This whole idea of trying to deflect Putin on the Democrats is Goebbels at its finest.

[White 6]

I can't say he is wrong. Biden kneels to the organization that are trained Marxists.

Has he ever kneeled for any AMERICAN institutions?

Donnie has kneeled to Putin, repeatedly.

Please list.

1. Trump has repeatedly praised Putin
2. Trump hired Manafort to run his campaign
Trump raised eyebrows in spring 2016 when he hired GOP operative Paul Manafort to run his presidential campaign. Manafort spent a decade working for pro-Russian politicians and parties in Ukraine and cultivated close relationships with Putin-friendly oligarchs.
3. Trump suggested Russia can keep Crimea
Trump said Putin did "an amazing job of taking the mantle" when Russia annexed Crimea in 2014. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump broke with US policy and suggested he was OK if Russia kept the Ukrainian territory. He repeated a Kremlin talking point, saying, "The people of Crimea, from what I've heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were."
4. Trump aides softened GOP platform on Ukraine
Ahead of the 2016 Republican National Convention, Trump campaign aides blocked language from the party platform that called for the US government to send lethal weapons to Ukraine for its war against Russian proxies.
5. Trump made light of Russian hacking
6. Trump denied that Russia interfered in 2016
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department and the Senate Intelligence Committee all confirmed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump. But Trump has repeatedly rejected this view, and publicly sided with Putin at the Helsinki summit in 2018, saying he accepted Putin's denials.
7. Trump refused to say Putin is a killer
Bucking other US leaders, Trump has dismissed credible allegations that Putin uses violence against his opponents. Trump said in 2015, "I think it would be despicable if that took place, but I haven't seen any evidence that he killed anybody, in terms of reporters." Asked again in February 2017, Trump deflected, saying, "There are a lot of killers. Do you think our country is so innocent?"
8. Trump criticized and alienated NATO allies
Trump has repeatedly attacked NATO, aligning himself with Putin, who wants to weaken the alliance. Trump said NATO was "obsolete," rattling European leader
9. Trump was reluctant to sign Russian sanctions
Lawmakers passed a bipartisan bill in July 2017 imposing new sanctions against Russia, even though Trump administration officials reportedly tried to water down the language. Trump reluctantly signed the bill, but claimed the new law contained "clearly unconstitutional provisions." Trump had little choice in the matter because the bill had passed with veto-proof majorities: 419-3 in the House and 98-2 in the Senate.
10. Trump proposed a cyber unit with Russia
After the July 2017 meeting of G20 leaders, Trump said he had spoken with Putin about "forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit" to combat "election hacking." Trump quickly backtracked after lawmakers from both parties said it would be ridiculous to work with Russia on cybersecurity because Russia was responsible for egregious hacks against American targets, including during the 2016 election.
11. Trump thanked Putin for expelling US diplomats
Trump thanked Putin for expelling hundreds of US diplomats from Russia in August 2017, saying, "I want to thank him because we're trying to cut down our payroll."
12. Trump eased sanctions on Deripaska
The Treasury Department in 2018 sanctioned Russian oligarch and Putin ally Oleg Deripaska, along with three companies linked to him, over his support for Russian interference in the 2016 election. But by January 2019, the Trump administration lifted some of these sanctions. In a bipartisan rebuke, 11 Senate Republicans supported a Democratic resolution calling for the sanctions to remain.
13. Trump praised pro-Russian leaders in Europe
On several occasions, Trump has praised controversial far-right European leaders who have been shunned by most US officials because of their close ties to Putin. Trump met at the White House with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a top Kremlin ally. He praised the campaign of French politician Marine Le Pen, whose party previously got millions from a Russian bank.
14. Trump didn't publicly condemn Russian attack
According to congressional testimony, Trump declined to publicly condemn a Russian attack against Ukrainian military vessels in November 2018, even though the State Department prepared a statement for him. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo criticized Russia's "dangerous escalation." The White House didn't say anything
15. Trump defended Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
During a January 2019 Cabinet meeting, Trump defended the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. He said the Soviet Union "was right" to invade in 1979 because "terrorists were going into Russia." The comments puzzled many observers, who noted that the Soviets had invaded to bolster a communist government and the US had backed Afghan militants who fought the Soviets.
16. Trump asked allies to let Russia back in the G7
17. Trump's Syria withdrawal gave Putin a boost
Trump announced in October 2019 that US troops were withdrawing from northern Syria. The abrupt move cleared the way for Turkey to conquer territories previously controlled by the US and allied Kurdish militias. It also gave Russia a golden opportunity to expand its influence and swiftly take over abandoned US outposts and checkpoints. Trump's move was a boon for Putin.
18. Trump repeated Kremlin talking points on ISIS
After announcing the Syria withdrawal, Trump repeated Kremlin talking points about ISIS. He said, "Russia hates ISIS as much as the United States does" and that they are equal partners in the fight. But Trump's comments don't reflect the reality on the ground: Since intervening in Syria in 2015, the Russian military has focused its airstrikes on anti-government rebels, not ISIS.
19. Trump temporarily froze US aid for Ukraine
As the impeachment inquiry revealed, Trump personally froze $391 million in US military and security assistance for Ukraine in mid-2019.
20. Trump invited Russia to 2020 G7 summit
Trump announced in May 2020 that he was postponing the US-based G7 summit because of the coronavirus and that he also wanted to extend invitations to Russia and three other countries to participate. Other G7 leaders swiftly rejected Trump's idea to invite Putin, because Russia still hasn't withdrawn from Crimea and has continued its aggressive actions around the world.
21. Trump directed CIA to share intel with Russia
Trump directed the Central Intelligence Agency to share more counterterrorism intelligence with Russia, according to the national security website Just Security, which cited two former CIA officials who had served under Trump. The officials said the US received nothing in return, which is consistent with past intelligence-sharing with Russia.
22. Trump ignored warnings of Russian bounties
The President was repeatedly told during in-person briefings and in written intelligence reports in 2019 and 2020 that the US government believed Russia paid bounties to Afghan militants to kill Americans
23. Trump called Russian bounty story a 'hoax'
Rejecting the findings from US intelligence agencies, Trump said allegations that Russia paid Taliban militants to kill US troops were "another hoax" that was "made up by fake news."
24. Trump never raised Russian bounties with Putin
After Trump was briefed on the Russian bounties, and after the story was revealed by the press, he had several phone calls with Putin. But Trump never raised the topic of bounties with Putin during these calls, never told Putin to stop and never threatened any retaliation. ... I have never discussed it with him," Trump said in a July 2020 interview with Axios.
25. Trump ordered US troops out of Germany
In a letter to Trump, nearly two dozen Republican lawmakers said his decision would "strengthen the position of Russia to our detriment."

I skipped several mentioned and there are probably more out there, but the CNN list was just the first one I stopped on. Trump is definitely Putin's boy.

37 times Trump was soft on Russia | CNN Politics

President Donald Trump has an Achilles' heel when it comes to Russia. Over the years, he's made no secret that he has a soft spot for the country and its authoritarian leader, President Vladimir Putin. Here's a breakdown of 37 occasions when Trump was soft on Russia or gave Putin a boost.

They are quietly and not so quietly on the move in Crimea, Ukraine, air incursions in Finland and the US. The modern rise of right wing extremist groups in Germany have expanded from east to west since the fall of the wall. Not everybody that came across was looking to peacefully meld and fit in. It has always looked like a Spetsnaz infiltration to me. It happened in Crimea. It happened in Ukraine (2nd largest European country) backing right up to NATO's back door. You need to wake up. The cold war did not end. They kept fighting it. We just declared victory and quit.

Typical U.S. voters — at least as indicated by most Trumpsters and Democrats here — are so ignorant almost any sophisticated foreign propagandist can hustle them. “Russia is the enemy.” “China is the enemy.” “Iran is the enemy.” Meanwhile the world’s most unstable and dangerous real major power is ... good old Uncle Sam, with his globe circling military bases. The U.S is determined to stay the world’s hegemonic power even as it economically declines.

Our present leader is an utter fraud and incompetent, and as corrupt as his Democratic opponent (most U.S. citizens accept corruption so long as it is not too obvious and comes from their own party).

Most of our people would be willing to support another Cold War against foreign scapegoats — just so long as their frontmen and party leads things. The cause? Does it really matter anymore? Just so long as we win.

And yet we seem always to be taken to the cleaners. Must be the other party’s fault! They are all ... traitors.

Putin, sitting for an interview with Russia’s state-owned Rossiya TV on Oct. 7, compared the two main presidential candidates in the U.S. and evaluated each candidate in terms of how Russia could work with them as president. He said despite some criticism of Russia, the Democratic Party holds values he identifies with as a former member of the Soviet Communist Party for 18 years.

“As for the Democratic candidate, what can I say? We can hear rather sharp anti-Russian rhetoric as well. Regrettably, we have become used to this,” Putin said. “But some things are worth mentioning. First, the Democratic Party is traditionally closer to the so-called liberal values, closer to Social Democratic ideas, if compared to Europe. And it was from the Social Democratic environment that the Communist Party evolved.”

Putin says he'd work with Biden; says Democratic Party shares links with communism

Hard to believe you are touting a propaganda news reel recorded by the Russian Information Office/TASS and marked that way in the article. This is just more Russian election interference from their official information office as a news release. How dumb can you get? Trump is the Official Putin Puffer/Fluffer. It is known by all intelligence services around the world that Russian help Trump get elected, using information from the campaign to plan ad marketing on social media in targeted states. Also well known much money from the NRA came from Russia and their agent was also hobnobbing with the Trump campaign. She was convicted, sentence, served he time and deported back Russia. We have been warned they have been and are at it again. Good job on the thread Yuri. Now get your dumb Russkie ass back to the troll farm.

Did a facebook meme make you flip your vote to trump?

No. I voted Joe Biden, a common sense leader, to put to an end the drama and lies of the inept Trump administration.

And start his own.
Amazing how you biden cultists are ok with his lies.

If you are going to lie to me and get away with it, I would prefer you didn't you didn't shout it in my face and brag about how you can get away with anything and it won't matter. If you are going to be a corrupt white collar/political criminal, you don't have to be an asshole about it too. Nothing proven about Joe accusations. He is the better of the two, by far.

There are no Biden “cultists.” Only Trump cultists. No Democrat who supports Biden — and certainly no independent who will vote for him as a lesser evil to Trump — thinks Biden is sent by God to save us. To me, he is an old crappy Establishment politician (who all lie). But still he’s a better choice than the mad narcissist and divisive conman Trump.

Dude, many of his supporters completely forgive what he does, and crucifies trump. They have A LOT in common, personality wise. To me, that is a political cultist.
And Biden is VERY divisive. Obviously. See above

What if terrorizing others and conquest makes a nation rich and the people have comfortable lives because of it? What if the people are coerced from within to stop it? Noble isn't it? But it destroys the nation that controls much of the environment around it. There are other nations who hang on to the coat of the major conquest country with good living also. So today we have three nations vying for the top spot. We are currently there but are slowly losing our grip. We also have people around the planet who want a globalist government including our domestic media/entertainers/elites and a percentage of politicians.
