Yes, and if you followed the thread

You would understand why we are where we are

and I'm trying to type the answer but I keep having to store it in my clipboard to answer these in-between things you're saying

New Tinashe album tonight at midnight!

Then type your answer

I am ffs

Whether you believe that Putin offered material support to trump is immaterial to this discussion

maybe I didn't explain it good enough

America is doing better than Russia
Russians ask "why is America doing better, can we do the same thing so we can be doing better?"
Putin doesn't want russians to have the sovereignty americans enjoy with free market, gun ownership etc etc etc

so what does he say "actually trump is super good for americans you guys, but you can't have the same things cause it would be bad for you?"

he has to say "actually this is bad for americans, so you don't really want it, in fact, we should endorse it so things get worse for them"

this makes their leader seem smarter and in more control over the situation

Putin might be a patriot, but he's definitely an authoritarian

If thy were true chlorophyll

Sometimes that's evne more dangerous than a disinterested dictator who just wants money

he can't be letting Russians having any fancy ideas of wanting the same things we americans enjoy, it has to be painted to them like a dark dystopia

Why is Putin supporting trump on state TV

The problem with your theory

that's exactly what I just explained

No, you didn’t

You are explaining why they’re saying Russia ought to be happy trump is in power

what would it mean if he said "we need to get rid of Trump"
it would mean he sees Trump as a threat

But since they’re offering actual support

Literal help

no please read carefully 😭

this isn't that difficult

No honey, you read carefully

If Putin did not actually believe that

you don't need to start that language now

Putin can't talk about the cynical stuff, because AMericans might read it

Then he is working against his own efforts

Do you understand that?

Putin is more worried about Americans reading that stuff than Russians

like the Soybeans

That is not accurate

Russia is taking some of our Soybean export business

Russia and Brazil

same with Syria

Putin is like the Kissinger of Russia

Energy as the basis of geopolitical power

if Putin said what Trump is doing is good for americans, it would work against his own efforts because his own people would want the same

if Putin said what Trump is doing is bad for americans his own people are less likely to want it

Putin can't do anything about whether or not Trump is president

Putin is saving face by psychologically manipulating people into thinking 1) trump is destroying america 2) we should support this because despite what we the potato peasants may think its making america worse

Putin can do a lot to control if Trump is president or not if he has dirt on Trump

he can always reveal "yea Trump actually is our asset"

k mueller

So when they say that Biden is trump’s most dangerous rival
