Stop and think for a moment about the argument that Russia invading Ukraine unprovoked is due to the outcome of the American election, the wealth of ignorance is astounding on levels unheard of.

(4,298 posts)If he means his alleged "rigged defeat" he is still right. Putin is trying to punish the world for Trump's defeat as well has satisfy his fanatical ambitions about taking back the former Russian satellites. He is a mad madman. He spent a lot of capital on being able to control the US through Trump.

TFG would have destroyed NATO, declared the U.S. pro Russian, Ukraine a rogue state and Russia would have not have to invade. Trump would have been the instrument to just hand Ukraine to the Russians, and Putin would have been $10 Billion into Trumps bank accounts somewhere.
When TFG was running for election in 2015-2016, I read somewhere that he had been promised $10 Billion dollars from the Russian Oligarchs/Putin. It read in part one of their goals was to destroy NATO.
So much information - at the time, who would have believed it but knowing what we know now about Putin and his bitch Trump, well makes sense now.

Plus, in a second term, Trump could have done much more damage without political considerations.

(47,128 posts)Putin was waiting to take a wrecking ball to the world during Trump's second term. And Trump would have loved it. And not had to worry about re-election.
Maybe this is one reason Trump went all out to overturn the election.
He had made promises to Putin, and been paid for those promises and wanted to make good on them? Or Putin was going to pay Trump a large cash bonus when he took Ukraine on Trump's watch?
