    Possibility? Whether or not the fucking KGB really recruited Krasnov, the mofo is definitely a Russian asset.

    From ‘America First’ to ‘Russia First’? Stuart’s theory raises uncomfortable questions.

    This is so stupid. He is an asset, whether intentionally or not. Russian media is having a heyday with him. Whether he is an “agent” or not remains ambiguous, but he is absolutely an “asset” to them.

        Assets don’t have to have be in on it intentionally. A tank is an asset. A forest at the border can be an asset. But to be an agent takes volition and consensual involvement.

            If he’s getting played by Russia and he doesn’t know it, he is an asset but not an agent. We all know how retarded Trump is, I think it’s possible that he’s not a literal agent.

          Oh I agree. I’m just saying that whether there is intent there or not doesn’t really make much if any difference to the outcome.

    Even if there was none of the evidence (“Krasnov” codenames claim, etc) the fact that at every turn he does exactly what Putin and the Russian oligarchs want and is actively harming the US and other western countries means everyone needs to treat him like he’s a Russian asset. It almost doesn’t even matter if he officially is or not…

        The only question is whether he knows he’s a Russian asset. Trump may be working for them without realizing it. All Putin would have to do is convince him he was just giving him advice, one wise ruler to another, because Trump is special and brilliant, and provide a few incentives. Trump would believe that taking the advice was all his own brilliant idea.

    Earlier this morning a coworker mentioned politicians wearing their corporate sponsors like NASCAR drivers. This was my response:

    We have been saying this over and over again. He is a Nazi and he is Putin’s puppet.

    I mean, the only question at this point is really whether he was one before he ran the first time or if that happened later.
