Russia: Trump's chaos means 'we will finally defeat America'



Trump's border stunt is hurting Americans — and Russia couldn't be happier about it.

On Thursday’s episode of the Russian state TV program “60 minutes,” the hosts gleefully highlighted the disarray Trump has caused and cheered on the possibility that he would plunge the U.S. into further chaos by declaring a state of emergency over a non-existent border crisis.

“Then we will finally defeat America,” declared co-host Olga Skabeeva.

Meanwhile, other segments on Russia’s state TV highlighted the controversy over funding for Trump’s border wall — and as seen below, it appears that Russian media is taking its cues from Fox News.



“Our dysfunction remains a delight for Russian state TV, because it meets Putin’s strategy, - ShareBlue

And to think Trump, Pence and McConnell thought Putin would take them with him to the elite castle in the sky.

Psych! Suckers!

If they aren't at war with us, how else could they "defeat" us?

Any of you "we ain't at war with Russia" guys wanna chime in?

Edit: I can totally understand why some resist accepting the reality of the situation, I had to put my head under my desk during nuke attack drills, too.

Man, open War-war type War with those a-holes would really suck.

Even though ronald reagan warned them, republicans went ahead for the money, sold out America, dropped their shorts, and climbed into bed with the evil empire. republicans will be remembered in history as the Greatest Traitors of All Time.
