Senior Conservative MP says UK must consider possibility ‘Trump is a Russian asset’ - Politics.co.uk
A senior Conservative MP has said it is time to consider the “possibility” that the US president is a Kremlin asset. Graham Stuart, a former Foreign Office minister, issued the comment in response to Donald Trump’s decision to pause all military aid to Ukraine. The extraordinary move comes as the U...
YA THINK?!?!
You're viewing a single thread.
Even if there was none of the evidence ("Krasnov" codenames claim, etc) the fact that at every turn he does exactly what Putin and the Russian oligarchs want and is actively harming the US and other western countries means everyone needs to treat him like he's a Russian asset. It almost doesn't even matter if he officially is or not...
Yeah, the Krasnov stuff is somewhat funny in a dark way, but he definitely serves Russian good over US good, whether he’s an official asset or not. If his actions are treasonous, does it matter whether he’s been recruited?
I 100% agree, but what makes me scratch my noggin' is the fact that people in London finance have (jokingly?) nicknamed the City of London as "Londongrad" because there's so much Russian money. Makes it feel like the entire 1% is a Russian asset, which can't be right.
Yup. He is an asset to Russia whether or not he is a willing asset.
The only question is whether he knows he's a Russian asset. Trump may be working for them without realizing it. All Putin would have to do is convince him he was just giving him advice, one wise ruler to another, because Trump is special and brilliant, and provide a few incentives. Trump would believe that taking the advice was all his own brilliant idea.
Well he is 'a very stable genius'.
Does it matter for treason if he himself is aware?
I think as we've seen multiple times treason doesn't count for Trumpler period.
I agree. Not saying it did. Currently he seems to not have any legal issues in that regard or is seen as such.
History will tell though.
