Now that Trump has begun cutting Europe (especially Ukraine) off from intelligence sharing, Europe can dedicate far more energy to figuring out how Russia got Trump to capitulate. Since all his OTHER bribery is in plain sight, I suspect any RU bribery is lurking just below the surface.

@emptywheel.bsky.social I don’t think it’s positive reinforcement driving this like bribery. It’s more likely to be blackmail I think. Let’s be real, the evidence that trump fucked kids is a long way from zero at this point based on public evidence alone.

Trump can be bot it's the simple he's a man with no morales & no bottom, just look at how republican party is being run right now much like a mob leader?

I honestly don't think it's a capitulation. Particularly seeing them together, I think Putin had Trump's number from day one, played him like a fiddle for forty years, & Trump is so profoundly broken & unaware, he just fell in line like a fungus-infected zombie ant.

@emptywheel.bsky.social Europe has to forget US. US is a highly unreliable partner so get on your feet!
