      Myegh, you’re welcome to provide an alternative label for people arguing the Russian propaganda position while ignoring everything else. I’m not wedded to that - it was used elsewhere in the thread before I did.

      I assume you’ve posted that because you’re unable to address the key argument above ?

      " so if he ISN’T a Russian agent what would he have done differently if he was one ?"

      “REALISTICALLY (given he’s not yet the god-emperor he wants to be, there are constraints via congress and HoR and the courts) what could he have done that he didn’t do to prove your case ?”

        You’re the flip side of maga with your Russian obsession. Trump is part of the international bourgeoisie working to secure his class interests. It doesn’t have to be any more complex than that. Read Marx.

          One sensible comment, that’s a high ratio for here, so thank you

          You’re the flip side of maga with your Russian obsession.

          Nah, not Russian obsessed at all. I hate fascist authoritarian imperialists, so I hate:

          USA

          Israel

          Russia.

          China are imperialist but not fascist, so not quite as bad (still not good), Europe are has-been former imperialists, not much left to hate.

          Trump is part of the international bourgeoisie working to secure his class interests.

          Now that is absolutely true, so many on here though seem blind to the fact that Putain and his oligarchs are part of that same class. It has been a long time since Russia even paid lip-service to socialism let alone communism.

          It doesn’t have to be any more complex than that. Read Marx.

          Always good advice, several decades late but always worth saying

            I swear to god every single time someone started with “I hate imperialists” they ALWAYS whitewash Europe.
