Trump's latest Russia decision threatens to enrich a hostile dictator, undermine American sanctions, and leave Ukraine bleeding. Congress must confront the question Republicans keep avoiding...
The question of whether Trump is a Russian asset was settled long ago. We have either refused to call it out in a clear, consistent way, or it has been drowned out by all the other noise Trump generates. So, to repeat, our sitting President is a Russian agent.
As we know, Andrew, the problem is the corporate media, it is cowardly, compromised, complicit, nowwith the Elllison father and son act of Larry and David, and with Fox it is all three.
Not only that, but most people feel helpless to do anything to help change the situation. Some are of limited intelligence, some are low-information voters, some are blinded by Trump's bright shiny objects (still), some are lazy and/or exhausted by their efforts to 'stay afloat.' Those of us who are more awake and aware must join together, quit nit-picking the details of our relatively minor differences, and move ASAP to eliminate this threat.
Ukraine is taking out refineries, especially those that produce diesel. Diesel is used to fuel trains, and the railroads are the equivalent of American highways, in Russia. Diesel also fuels the Russian war machine.
The Russian people, sheep that they are, will suffer and stuff it. suffering is heroic in Russia, their music and literature is rife with and glorifies suffering.
But Putin cannot afford to let any diesel go out of Russia as it is vial to transportation and war machine.
Ye we learn that 2 days ago, a Russian tanker carrying diesel, was only 2 days away from the Port in Delaware. That means that it left it's port in Russia at the beginning of September.
Does any see what is happening here. A big game is being played, and especially on the futures market.
From Just Security for October 11 "Trump on Friday announced a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin for Russia to release 300,000 tonnes of diesel immediately “to the American and global marketplace,” followed by 500,000 tonnes in November and a further one million after that. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Axios that Trump’s deal was “not fair and honest,” and that it shows a “weakness of the world.” In a statement released later, Zelenskyy said Trump used the peace talks in Miami, Florida as a “smokescreen” while the United States pursued a deal with Russia"
Putin can't afford to sell any diesel, with Ukraine attacking refineries and diesel needed for his war machine and transporting goods by rail and truck
Agent Krasnov is Living on Borrowed time. At least from the Russian perspective. Figuratively. Or literally . . . Maybe both.
Putie Pie definitely knows that Krasnov still has some limited use, being a besotted-with-Putin Russian ASSet. So, one drop of diesel, for missle money. Fair?
Denying that we have a Manchurian President is like catching your husband, enthusiastically, loudly, sweatily knowing your bestie in the biblical sense. Not once, but twice, and presuming a.] it was God's will and b.] that child she had 9 months later is genetically yours.
In other words, you've become the Mad Hatter. Because that's your rationale, and you're sticking to it.
Face it. Don Don was hired/inserted to hate minorities. That's pretty much it. Agent K says aloud what many think about the Browns/Jews/Blacks.
It's like buying a rust bucket [auto] because you like the hood ornament, i.e. the racism. That jalopy still won't run.
Agent 00FkUp aka Krasnov and friends [Manfort aka the Moscow Dandy, Stone, Bannon, Flynn, Musk and a gaggle of Russian Tools]
You blew it. You've been had. Agent Krasnov's a Russian ASSet.

He was hired for more than that, and he’s accomplished what he was hired for by the billionaires who hired him. He’s definitely a loose cannon, though—and always was. He has no real loyalties except to himself, but he does vaguely know which side his bread is buttered on. This is why he’s still in office.
With respect, I give your reply a half-like. I agree and disagree, because you are not wrong.
He was hired by his Branson, MO - Ozark voters for one reason only. Take a road trip out here and find out face-to-face.
The tech-nuts/oil/pharma billionaire hooligans had a different agenda, as you said. But they could not affect it w/out the God-fearing, Trump-humping folk in Branson and others like that.
On the question of whether Trump is helping Putin or himself: these motives are not mutually exclusive. Both of them are working to enrich and empower each other, and prop each other up. They are both in trouble politically, and they are both stuck in wars they can neither quit nor win. And what good is it to "drill, baby, drill" for our energy independence, only to have the price and supply of oil determined by our war of choice in Iran? Something stinks about Houston (and Washington), and it isn't just the refineries.
POSOTUS is a traitor who enjoys the support of all three (corrupt) branches of government and the absence of a functioning opposition party. It remains to be seen whether the latter will emerge to fully prosecute his many criminal and treasonous activities; evidence provided by past and current leadership suggests it won’t.
Thom, Thank you for capturing the salient facts of DT's treason. I believe loyal Americans in and outside the intelligence community have "known" that DT has been both a Soviet and, then Russian asset, for three decades.
The issue that I feel is most critical is why those in position to eliminate this threat have not acted to do so, given years of evidence???
There must be considerable power and wealth within high levels of the USA protecting a failed real estate developer and late-blooming reality TV "star" from prosecution. It is this collection of powers that shield DT in whom I am most interested.
Thanks for the absolutely worth its weight in gold unveiling of the details of Trump's treason, which ought to have been front page news--maybe the only front page news, given its importance--but which has seemed to have largely flown under the radar of our general awareness. Maybe because, like climate degradation, it's 'an inconvenient truth.' We are acting like the proverbial ostrich by burying our head under the sand on this one. We absolutely MUST IMPEACH this man before he succeeds in destroying so much that we won't be able to rise from the ashes for a generation, or more.
Diesel Don is so demented that it likely never occurred to him to ask experts if access to RU diesel would bring down prices. He just acted, as always, impulsively (a major dementia symptom). Since Trump's sycophant nincompoop cabinet lacks the spine to 25 an obviously mental incompetent, Congress must. That will only happen if November turns Congress blue. Johnson has no intention of recalling Congress to impeach our treasonous president.
As usual, the Democrats have been reticent to call Trump a traitor, even when Republicans have done so, and, the entire EU. There is now a mocking statue of our fearless fascist dictator in the lobby of the European Parliament https://www.euronews.com/2026/10/08/the-orange-plague-naked-trump-statue-on-display-at-european-parliament-in-strasbourg , The EU has clearly concluded that America is no longer an ally, and most countries are actively preparing for a Russian invasion that the US might have stopped had Trump sent in massive resources that Biden lacked the courage to do. I mention that simply to remind folks that both parties share responsibility for Trump's treason. America shares responsibility for Trump's treason.
How is an individual American responsible for what administrations in Washington do? I basically have only two realistic choices for the major offices in this country. I only vote for Democrats because they are least likely to blow up the world. I have little influence over what they do if they get elected and I have pretty much no influence over Republicans.
This administration goes from one drama to the next because a) it serves the pea brain that it’s attached to, and b) it gets everyone’s mind off what he royally messed up previously and onto another f—up (no one’s talking about Epstein or the war, anymore).
And one of the reasons he was hired is as a diversion from the truth. The public was getting a bit too close to seeing this whole hoopla as the conspiracy it was and continues to be, and that’s downright dangerous for the uber rich who he’s a foil for.
Is he a ruskie plant? Probably. Is he an oligarch plant to put down a world-wide middle class that was getting much too aware and uppity? Definitely.
He also definitely serves two or more masters. In fact, he serves any one who can sign their name to a check written to don. Yes, he can be bought—over and over and over.
But he’s also a part of a bigger world-wide conspiracy of money and power in control permanently in which he’s just a bit player who happens to be in the stage, at the moment. The general public gets very bored, very quickly.
Do the people of this country need to be clean of this 3rd act and clear the stage? Most definitely. That is, if we really want to change the direction we are being hurled by the oligarchs who presently control our livelihoods, our environment, and the education of our children, which is vital for any future we have a prayer of creating that doesn’t involve extortionists controlling the US.
But he’s a master at not only being a diverting tactic, but also creating diversion. He’s the guy with a bean under a walnut shell that he moves back and forth across a table with two other shells, telling us to watch where the bean is, carefully. Or, he’s the Lucy to our Charlie Brown—the analogy doesn’t matter, it all fits.
If Trump is committing acts of treason, and there is no way at this point to question it, then every Republican Senator and representative who supports him is guilty of the same. Why are those people not being branded with the label of traitor or turncoat by those of us who are true patriots? They all should be charged and prosecuted today.
Based on Trump’s words and actions, he has been a Russian asset since he and his then-Soviet wife Ivana returned from Moscow in 1987. Trump took out a full page ad criticizing NATO and America’s involvement in NATO. Putin helped Trump win in 2016. Quid pro quo.
