      Trump was honeytrappable buffoon and business fuckup desperate for funding when the USSR was still a going concern.

      It’s completely possible.

              Different ideologies Same bosses/corruption

              You think Putin isn’t were he is because of what the Soviet Union had before? He didn’t throw it all away

                  Dude take a chill pill. Reverting to ad hominem is not very useful. Even if you, as I presume, are an ardent communist, you can understand that it’s no wonder that a former KGB agent is the dictator of Russia. Power in one form, even if it is corrupted from your idealist view of it, can very easily migrate to power in another form.

                  I think it’s a fair statement to say that those arguing that he could be a “Soviet” asset are meaning that he started as one, not that there is a super secret Soviet shadow government continuing 40 years post collapse.

                  But either way, why call your fellow human worthless? Shouldn’t, even if you view them as ignorant, your goal to be to raise them up? Talking things out is how we find truth. I think generally the ideals of communism, not talking of its implementation, represent a good amount of empathy at the macro level; so why not keep that empathy that you have for the micro level.

                  I hope you have a good day.

          Putin was a mid/upper KGB functionary.

          And that a very large number of the people who did very well put of the collapse of the USSR were former communist party officials who got in early on raiding the USSR’s corpse.

          Trump isn’t acting on behalf of the USSR in general, but he definitely is funded by and owes favours to older wealthy Russians.

          One older Russian, in particular.

        Right as Soviet system was being pulled apart by Western aligned corporations and mafia cartels.

        Crazy coincidence.

      It also says he’s a Russian asset in the title.
      You trying to be nitpicky about it also saying soviet doesn’t change the fact that the orange traitorous cunt is a putins’ little bitch.
      Doing the old trick of picking up on one little thing (that may be incorrect) to try to unravel everything else won’t change fuck all. tRUMP is a fucking russian stooge, just like you.

    We’re still doing this? Six years after Mueller came back with nothing? After nine years of failing to validate a single point on the Steele dossier? pain

    Obligatory

    I’m embarrassed to say I bought Russiagate for the first three years, but I can accept new evidence (or the lack of it) and move on.

    yea well there is at least one European leader with some spine. Everyone else is trying work around Trump’s man childness like the way house staff has to deal with the extremely spoiled kid of a billionaire.

    People need to say it more, so trump will do what he normally does and sues them.

    Donald trump always loses once the case gets to discovery. They are never able to produce credible evidence since it’s all lies and propaganda.

    Soviet??? No budget or agency for him to be an agent of.

    NATO supremacist evil has political capital tied up in Russophobia propaganda, and the delusion, once every 100 years, that the next time they invade Russia it will pay off. Only traitors, can ever question the potential failure of lies and money pit, and then traitors cannot be allowed to vote or run for office. All truth and practicalities is treason.

    NATO supremacist hatred and threats to Russia are only growing stronger in response to direct economic war by US on NATO members. EU’s political capital is tied to the CIA/US approval of their assent to political power, and US provoked war in Ukraine.

    EU is criticizing Trump for not being a Russophobe, while engaging in total Trump sycophancy of imposing austerity on their people in order to spend 5% of GDP on US weapons imports, all to gift to Ukrainian suicidal Russia diminishment.
