Trump has lifted sanctions on Iranian oil, so he is literally paying Iran not to surrender. This on top of also doing the same with Iran's ally, Russia.

The USA is now directly funding two of the three nations Trump claims to most oppose, right after Trump lifted import restrictions on China.

All of the senior military brass warned not to attack Iran, which is why Trump turned to the Fox TV cabinet instead.

And of course, Rupert Murdoch never met a war he didn't like.

Trump is a Russian agent. His assignment is to make Russia great again by taking down the United States. Which is exactly what he is doing.

@alterelefant @Su_G @mattsheffield An agent needs agency and Trump is too demented for that by now. I don’t believe he is an agent following orders, but he definitely is a tool in Russia’s schemes. The Russians have found out long ago that Trump is vain and stupid in some ways. He is very easy to steer if you push the right buttons and pull the right levers. I don’t think that even Russia expected the ROI to be this big: destruction of their adversary from the inside.

The Kremlin successfully steers and nudges Trump into what he does. That makes him a Russian asset.

@ArtHarg @alterelefant @Su_G @mattsheffield A tool, and just riding waves of cash from Russia, tech-bros and crypto. A criminal tool perhaps?

@spdrnl @alterelefant @Su_G @mattsheffield Oh, definitely. Crime is one thing he is absolutely not stupid about. He is a very accomplished conman.

@mattsheffield is there any leak on who bombed Diego Garcia? It was ICBM, did the radar system fail

@mattsheffield what's Murdoch's angle on this? I haven't heard his name in a bit, which I guess is like being so distracted with an advanced and incurable STI that you forgot you also had a terminal spreading cancer.

@mattsheffield Trump claims to oppose Russia?
Show threadMatthew Sheffield15h ago
@mihamarkic Yes he claims to. And in some senses he has actually made things harder for them. The affinity he has for Russia is personal for Putin and dictatorship. He has finally realized there is a genuine rivalry between the two countries, which is why he no longer really complains about Ukraine.

@mattsheffield I didn't see him yet complaining about Russia, while I read about him badmouthing Zelensky recently. Aren't they synonyms for their countries in Trump's eyes? At least Zelensky is, I'd say. But even if it is like you said, it could change in a matter of Putin's phone call.
