Historically, this is bonkers. It's so far from everything the US spent 80 years trying to avoid. The right is the dog that caught up to the car and bit a tire, and won't let go despite the acceleration to highway speeds. Nothing makes sense anymore.
It makes total sense if you realize Trump is working for Putin...
I don't think he's literally working for him, i just think he's a useful idiot that's been easy to manipulate. Hell, compliment him and tell him how smart he is and he'll pretty much do whatever you want him to do.
He may not be on the payroll directly but everything Trump does is transactional.
Yup, destabilizing the west, especially through increasing tensions everywhere possible, and getting a malleable idiot into power have been Russian goals since Putin took power.
It’s literally his playbook: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics
