#Russia's state TV:
Igor Korotchenko, member of the Defense Ministry’s public advisory council, talks about GOP Senators coming to Russia and the Trump-Putin summit:
"The Russians should look down upon the Americans, like the USSR did... You came to us, because YOU need it."

2. US newsmedia has fears that trump would be taken advantage of by Putin

fears that trump might inadvertently reveal classified information, compromise US security or personal,
or the unprepared trump be outsmarted by Putin,
or trump might not deal with US election meddling by Russia,

- but no mention of the possibility that trump might encourage the meddling,
or trump might 'sell' whatever US assets/information/sanctions etc. to encourage or deal for the Russia meddling in the US election

All of which are possible given the trump behavior record. Several seem more than possible.

3. +100 so true. Blinders still on most of them

Inconceivable

8. I just realized why trump wanted a meeting with his boss NOW.

Of course!!!!!

OF COURSE he wants a meetup with Putin now.

It’s because the midterm elections are coming. He’s going there to pick up the new strategies for rigging the upcoming midterms. They have to coordinate their maneuvers and talking points as shrewdly as possible to make sure the trump Cavalcade of CONS in Congress and Pox Noise and Sinclair Broadcasting are all set up for the attack.

[lastlib]

16. "Hey Vlad, I need another election fixed. Can you arrange it pls?"

absolutely, that's why he's going!

[calimary]

19. And that's why the CONS won't lift a finger to do anything to stop it.

They want that help again. They want it to keep coming - for as long as they think they can get away with it. NOTHING will be done, from ANY of these GOP assholes. Not for 2018. Certainly not for 2020. HELL NO! They're gonna keep wanting that help to keep their grubby paws on the levers of power.

The only way we can even start getting something decisive done about it is to take back the House in November. Senate, too, I hope, but I think our chances are better in the House of Reps. You KNOW our team is gonna take some serious looks at this problem. And then we have to take back everything else from there. The Senate, the statehouses, and of course, the White House.

10. Exactly. No one will entertain the idea trumpft isn't being managed, but is willing

That's why we get all these stupid stories about his mental health. He's fine, he's doing what he WANTS to do. trumpft isn't being manipulated by comprat. In fact, if the "tape" ever came out, he knows he'd be fine with his base.

What he has to worry about are his business dealings and mob ties, not his menta health or comprat.

12. Russia Needs the US More Than We Need Russia

This is just propaganda for their own ignorant masses. Tell them they are smart, powerful, and their country has power over other countries and they giggle with glee.

All it would take is for other countries to shun them again and their descent back into a third world level is complete.

IQ45 comes along, gets himself indebted to their crime bosses, and sells us out to save his own ass from a nice helping of plutonium soup.

13. Fuck Putin and Russia. When I was an infantry officer they were my sworn

enemies and nothing has changed.

Except we have a traitor in charge.

[Kablooie]

14. It looks like a game show.

I'm sure the Republicans are there to ask Russia for more help in overthrowing the midterms. They probably say they are willing to do anything to help.

They could become more fodder for Mueller but this is why the investigation is taking so long. More Republicans keep theowing thmselves into it as it progresses. Unusual way to delay the results.

15. When we talk about russia, we are talking about their fascist government

We must remember that the majority of Russian people hate putin as much as we hate tRump. They have no more power over their monster then we do ours. In Russia, those that speak out end up dead, here, its only a matter of time.

17. Here's one of the best explainers on Russia's mind control techniques I've seen.

This article provides us with a good basic understanding on how Russia influences thought processes around the globe:

Is Trump’s Chaos Tornado a Move From the Kremlin’s Playbook?
It’s terrifying to think that the Trump administration is simply winging it, in a swirl of lies, contradictions, and Twitter rants. A scarier possibility is that there is, in fact, a plan, taken straight from Putin 101.

(snip)

The first technique that the Trump administration appears to be appropriating from Moscow is a kind of chaos theory. By clogging the news with mini-scandals, bald-faced lies, and provocative tweets, the White House sends journalists and media outlets into haphazard frenzy. President Trump’s lies alone have become their own beat, forcing publications to devote precious resources to invalidating the many outrageous claims he makes daily, sometimes within a single interview. White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s early press conferences suggest that he too will serve as media antagonist, baiting reporters with arrogant fallacies and extending the Trump regime’s brand of bullying truth and democratic values into wary submission.

Clint Watts, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute who has studied Russian propaganda for years, sees major similarities between Putin’s and Trump’s approaches. “Create chaos in the system, such that you don’t know what is the truth or not the truth,” he says. The Kremlin does this by flooding television and digital media with biased coverage and wanton spin. The Trump administration has discovered something equally effective: lying to reporters and publicly attacking critics are like tossing grenades into the media eco-system. The press is constantly scrambling to respond to a never-ending river of slime, and the system is gradually overwhelmed.

18. The USSR looked down on the US?!!!!

And precisely what the fucking hell does the US "need" from a gas station masquerading as a two bit country? Take away their fossil fuels and their nukes and the Russkies are about as relevant as Eritrea. Borscht eating swine!
