Not Russia's.

I mean, Trump is in part Putin's creation.

You know the funny thing is, here in Russia some of the patriotic tankie folk, unsatisfied with how the war is going, have started to spread the conspiracy that Putin himself is a CIA asset, whose sole job throughout his entire presidency is to destroy the remnants of USSR, but in a subtle enough way not to cause an outright revolt...

So, if Putin owns Trump, and CIA owns Putin, and Trump owns CIA, then who's controlling who in this crazy world? (though why would it matter, all of them belong to the guillotine anyway)

It's been a couple o days already that Trump announced he will go against Russia if Ukraine pays his price...

(His price seems to be all about posturing, but he made a point of announcing it.)

Every word he utters is "Give me money and attention" with a different theme applied.

A little bit of posturing to maintain his strongman image with his base doesn't change a thing.
