Does anyone doubt that there is not coordination between Trump and Russia State TV?

Putins invasion of Ukraine pitted Russia against most of the world, leaving Kremlin propagandists yearning for any tidbits of pro-Russian sentiment in the United States. These days, state television draws on a bounty of translated quotes almost exclusively from two Western voices: Tucker Carlson of Fox News and former U.S. President Donald J. Trump. They have a plan to reward them both: Carlson with a highly coveted interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Trump with a freebie PR campaign designed to light his path back to the White House.
Last Thursday, Russias Defense Ministry released a colorful diagram, purporting to demonstrate that President Joe Bidens son Hunter, is secretly bankrolling the Pentagons biolabs in Ukraine, allegedly developing biological weapons to target Russia. The allegation was preposterous and was squeamishly avoided by the responsible mainstream media, but Tucker Carlson immediately latched on to it. Talking about the accusation later the same day, Carlson did his best to pre-empt any doubts about his motivation. He said: What are the outlines of that story? Were not sure. We know its legitimate to ask what it means, why wouldnt it be? Youre not a Russian agent repeating discredited Putin talking points if you ask. Youre a good citizen.
Back in 2021, during his TV show The Evening With Vladimir Soloviev, the host pined for the return of his favorite American president: Things were so good under Trump... Listen to Trumpushka. After playing a clip of Trumps interview with Sean Hannity, wherein the former president dismissed the idea of helping Ukraine fight off Russian aggression, Soloviev sighed: [He is] so sorely missed. Between the war in Ukraine, which is likely to become a prolonged struggle, and the crushing U.S. sanctions, only one candidate shows the promise of potentially erasing the consequences of Russian aggression and dramatically limiting Americas support for Ukraine. Clutching to these prospects, the Kremlins mouthpieces are openly signaling Russias intent to involve themselves in yet another U.S. election.

Democracy will survive, and in my opinion it won't be shithole nor Desantis.
