'His comments should disqualify him': GOP strategist slams Trump's praise of Russian 'war criminal' Putin

Veteran Republican strategist Scott Reed wants former President Donald Trump drummed out of the Republican Party.

In an interview with Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman, Reed unloaded on Trump for heaping praise on Russian President Vladimir Putin for his "genius" invasion of Ukraine that has resulted in a collapse in Russia's economy and a formal investigation into war crimes committed by Russian forces.

“His comments on Putin should disqualify him from ever again running for the GOP nomination,” Reed said. “Putin is now a war criminal.”

Despite this, many Trump advisers believe the GOP base will shrug off the latest Trump controversy, just as they shrugged off his past praise for Putin, his declaration that he fell "in love" with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, his boasts about sexually assaulting women, his attempts to shake down the Ukrainian government by withholding military aid in exchange for dirt on a political rival, his potentially illegal attempts to stay in power despite losing the 2020 election, and his incitement of a riot at the United States Capitol building.

“Every time people say, ‘There’s no way he can come back from this!’—and he always does,” a former Trump official explained to Sherman. “It’s like everything with Trump. If you’re voting for Trump, you like him. If you’re not, you don’t. You’re not going to worry about another comment he makes.”

If we wanted to avoid the slaughter of innocent Ukrainians now this was the time for the US and the West to stand up to Putin and start slapping crippling sanctions on Putin in December 2016 for interfering in EU and US elections.

But unfortunately instead Trump, a Putin puppet and Russian asset got elected and treasonous conservative/Republicans fell in line supporting Putin/Russia over the United States of America. Which as we can see right now wasn't just treason. It is deadly treason.

 

"If we wanted to avoid the slaughter of innocent Ukrainians now this was the time for the US and the West to stand up to Putin and start slapping crippling sanctions on Putin in December 2016 for interfering in EU and US elections."​

Well, minor problem with that stumbler. The US has meddled in the elections of other countries since at least WWII. And no one in the government, no matter who sits in the oval office, wants that to become common knowledge or let other countries use this to bludgeon America with. Every administration since Truman has found a foreign election to meddle in, even to the extent of supporting violent coups. Including your God Obama, who fucked with Israel's election.
Database Tracks History Of U.S. Meddling In Foreign Elections : NPR

"One example of that was our intervention in Serbia, Yugoslavia in the 2000 election there. Slobodan Milosevic was running for re-election, and we didn't want him to stay in power there due to his tendency, you know, to disrupts the Balkans and his human rights violations. So we intervened in various ways for the opposition candidate, Vojislav Kostunica. And we gave funding to the opposition, and we gave them training and campaigning aide. And according to my estimate, that assistance was crucial in enabling the opposition to win."

"I don't count and discount covert coup d'etats like the United States did in Iran in 1953 or in Guatemala in 1954. I only took when the United States is trying directly to influence an election for one of the sides."

"The United States is the most common user of this technique. Russia or the Soviet Union since 1945 has used it half as much. My estimate has been 36 cases between 1946 to 2000. We know also that the Chinese have used this technique and the Venezuelans when the late Hugo Chavez was still in power in Venezuela and other countries."

Again and as always supporting and making up exudes for Putin/Russia against the United States of America. What a good little Putin puppet you are to the very end.

 

None of this should surprise us.
You see, when a despicable decides they don't like someone, or something they turn on it like a rabid dog. The immediate and automatic step is to attack. Name calling, character assassination, demonizing and minimizing are both acceptable and required.
And anyone not in lock step with that is asking for the same treatment.
No matter who one is.
Just ask Diane Feinstein.​

 

And again the Putin puppet dances to his tune.

Its only fair if Putin interfered in US election he says cuting false propaganda.

But let's pretend a Miscow second it's true.

Well gee wiz there comrade the whole purpose of adversiaral conflict is to do things to your adversary and not let them fucking let them do it to you.

You do not surrender the sovereignty of the United States of America to Putin in the interest of fair play .

But you go ahead and keep dancing to Putin's tune. There is where your loyalties lie in a time of global threat.

 

Is America still a "shithole country" Stumbler?

None of this should surprise us.

A country where the repuke party tries to overturn a fair election. Repukes who support and enable a sitting president who willingly inspired a riot to overturn an election. Hmm, that sound like a shit hole country to me. So be proud trumptards, be proud of yourselves.

 

Just going to book mark this for the next time shooter goes off on one of his name calling tirades...

He has a short memory and needs reminding now and then that he's a hypocrite.

 

You know how to bookmark do you, genius?

 

Now you've done it.
Stumbler is going to accuse you of being a putin lover.

 

Alleged Russian Spy Worked for US Government News Agency

A Spanish journalist arrested on suspicion of spying for Russia recently worked for Voice of America, the United States government's international media organization.

Pablo Gonzalez was arrested at the Poland-Ukraine border earlier this week on charges that he was secretly working for Russia’s military intelligence service, the GRU. Gonzalez, a Spanish national born in Russia, was identified as a freelance reporter for the Spanish outlets El Sixto and Publico. He has also worked as a freelance reporter for Voice of America (VOA) since at least 2020. Gonzalez helped produce a VOA segment from inside Ukraine last month, according to a Washington Free Beacon investigation.

Founded in 1942, VOA is the United States’ megaphone to the world, operating in dozens of countries that have historically stifled the free press. The United States used VOA during the Cold War to broadcast anti-Communist messages, prompting Russia and Soviet republics to jam VOA’s radio signal. Russia designated VOA as a foreign agent of the United States in 2017 in retaliation for Washington placing the same label on Russia Today.

A spokeswoman for VOA said the agency is aware of Gonzalez’s arrest, and that they reported it "to all relevant security authorities." The spokeswoman said Gonzalez was a stringer—another term for a freelancer—but that he had not filed a story since July 2021. The spokeswoman declined to comment about his recent story from Ukraine.

So he worked VOA under Trump!

Res ipsa loquitur.

Still beating that trump/putin drum.
Midterms approach.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Despicables cannot afford to lose Congress.
If they do, their entire house of cards (pun intended) comes down.

 

REVEALED: Newly indicted Russian spy was helping to promote Donald Trump

The Justice Department announced that they indicted Elena Branson (a.k.a Elena Chernykh) on five charges Tuesday, calling her a Russian spy. While she had no direct contact with former President Donald Trump, she is yet another alleged Russian spy working to promote him within United States and organize people to attend his rallies.

The Daily Beast first reported in 2021 that the FBI was probing the Coordinating Council of Russian Compatriots of the U.S. (known colloquially by its Russian acronym KSORS). They worked to promote Russian voices and policies through a kind of speakers bureau throughout the country.

"Branson, 61, is also alleged to have tried to get Trump to attend the 2016 World Chess Championship, which was being held at New York’s South Street Seaport," NBC News reported Tuesday evening. "Prosecutors said she emailed a Trump adviser on Nov. 10, 2016, asking that Trump, then the president-elect, attend the event. The FBI said in the court filing that it publicly released photos from the event to show it was attended by Dmitry Peskov, who is now Putin's press secretary. There is no indication that Trump attended."

Investigative reporter Scott Stedman reported for Forensic News that "investigators are also keenly interested in KSORS political activities, including rallying Trump supporters in 2020."

As The Independent report explained, the US Attorney's Office alleges that Branson communicated with high-ranking Russian, as well as Vladimir Putin himself, in an effort to open a "propaganda center" in New York City. She "received tens of thousands of dollars in funding from the Russian government" as she held events and worked on messaging directed by Russian officials the federal complaint says.

The court filing even goes on to explain that the conversations about messaging with Russian officials happened on conference calls that were recorded and then emailed to Branson.

According to the British monthly Byline Times, Branson and colleague Sergey Gladysh promoted the “Trump 2020 Labor Day Cruise Rally” in Portland, Oregon on the KSORS Facebook page. Gladysh created the Russian-American Cooperation Initiative, which promoted Trump and distributed Russian propaganda that are still available on internet archive sites.

"The news website featured articles with the titles such as 'Second Trump term is crucial to prospect of better U.S.-Russia relations, safer world,' and “Biden victory will spell disaster for U.S.-Russia relations, warns billionaire," noted Stedman. "The billionaire referenced by the outlet is Oleg Deripaska, a key figure in the 2016 Trump campaign’s collusion with Russia."

Soviet-born theologian Mikhail Morgulis, who died in Nov. 2021, served on the board of KSORS between 2014 and 2018. He began a 2016 effort to rally Russian-Americans for Donald Trump. It continued in 2020.

The Washington Post reported just days after his death that Morgulis was in touch with another Belarus-born businessman, Sergei Millian, who was trying to connect the Trump campaign and Morgulis together, according to emails given to the Post. George Papadopoulos explained that at one point Millian tried to give him a job working both for Trump and doing some consulting for a wealthy Russian at the same time. Papadopoulos said he "rebuffed" the invitation.

"When Millian’s name first surfaced in connection to Trump two years ago, little was known about any connection between the two men, other than Millian’s assertion that he had sold units at a Trump property in Florida years earlier," the Post also said.

Stedman recalled the Senate Intelligence Committee included in its final report that "much about Sergei Millian resembles activities by a Russian intelligence officer or cooptee," and "Millian exhibited behavior consistent with intelligence tradecraft, and both have significant ties to Russian government and business circles." The committee tried to locate Millian, but was never successful and "his exact role in Trump’s world remains elusive," said the PostS

Morgulis promoted conspiracy theories that Hillary Clinton was a homosexual, according to a 2017 interview with him. In 2020 he claimed to have a letter from fired Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin parroting another conspiracy about the Biden family.

Ultimately, Morgulis, Branson and Millian were all given the Silver Archer Awards in 2015 by the award's founder Igor Pisarsky. He's the same man who was sending money to Maria Butina before she was deported as a Russian spy.

Trump Says Soviet Union Had ‘A Lot of Love’ And That is Why Putin Wants His Country ‘Back the Way it Was’
By Alex GriffingMar 14th, 2022, 6:21 pm
634 comments




In a conversation on Sunday with Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, former President Donald Trump offered a surprising comment regarding Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.


Trump repeated some of his regular talking points about the ongoing Russian invasion, claiming that he helped arm Ukraine and that Putin “never” would have invaded if he were still president. Pirro asked Trump about Putin’s motivations and how he thinks this might all end.

“He’s got a big ego. I think what’s going on now is hard. I understand he’s gotten rid of a lot of his generals,” Trump said, explaining the difficult situation Putin is currently in, “adding he is not doing well.”

Trump, who has been under fire in recent weeks for calling Putin “savvy” and a “genius,” continued and tried to explain Putin’s thinking behind the invasion.

“They wanted to rebuild the Soviet Union,” Trump argued of Russia’s intentions. “That’s what this is all about to a large extent. And then you say, what’s the purpose of this?”


“They had a country. You could see it was a country where there was a lot of love and we’re doing it because, you know, somebody wants to make his country larger or he wants to put it back the way it was when actually it didn’t work very well,” Trump said.

“It’s just a terrible situation,” Trump added, while Pirro agreed, saying, “right.”

While a satellite state of the Soviet Union, Ukraine suffered horribly both from a devastating famine that killed millions as a result of Joseph Stalin’s policies and during World War II.

Proven to be absolutely false on all levels..yet the hack fucks are still pushing the notion that Trump had Russian influencers to get him elected.

Seems the memo hasn't trickled down yet....nothing left of this dead beaten horse except for a bent to all hell horseshoe.
