Woodward's book just confirms what we all knew about Trump being a traitor, but...

[soybean]

...to me the most interesting tidbit was his confirmation that we had human intelligence inside the Kremlin.

 

[millah_22]

I assume we have spies everywhere, and a lot of places have spies here.

Woodward also admitted that reps from the Biden AND Trump Administration would not be interviewed by him for the book.

And so, that means what for sure?

In both the Kremlin and in the White House?

In both the Kremlin and in the White House?

Maybe not in the white house, but I can see senators like Cruz and the like being easily influenced and watched by the Kremlin.

Money talks. If the US can set up a Russian citizen for life just by getting some info, they'd cave.

I hope we have intelligence ops in the Kremlin.
As for foreign ops here look at the Chinese spy in the late Senator Feinstein’s staff. Rep Eric Swalwell (D-CA) did the bang bang with a spy named Fang Fang. And the recent exposure of a Chinese spy in NY government.

They’d need to undergo heavy plastic surgery and live out their days with an alternative identity.

Guessing a few folks in the Kremlin will be falling out of some windows if they haven’t already.

Oh for sure. I’m actually surprised he is writing about that. Major national security issue.

Question for you. Is the USA-Russia relationship better today than under Trump?

Not in the White House though, right?

It is about the same as it was under Truman.

That’s a nebulous question.

What are you getting at?

 

[soybean]

Those human assets are likely gone by now - lots of people leave Russia to avoid falling out of a window.

 

[soybean]

That’s a nebulous question.

What are you getting at?

He wants me to say it was better under Trump.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

It is about the same as it was under Truman.

But it was definitely better under FDR than Truman.

Ihhawk for the win! 🥇

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

He wants me to say it was better under Trump.

I know what he was driving at.

It’s like comparing the US economy the first year under Obama to the first year under Trump. Fox News loved showing those charts and graphs.

Which means what? That Trump is once again a victim of the Fake News media?

stupid garbage in, stupid garbage out. Another day that ends in Y for gone-a-way.

 

[TheCainer]

Question for you. Is the USA-Russia relationship better today than under Trump?

Better for whom, the US or Russia?

 

[BGHAWK]

I've seen it reported that the area around mar a lago is thick with russians. We also know of one president who gave out classified material to a couple of high echelon russians in the Oval office.

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

In both the Kremlin and in the White House?

From 2016-2020 there was one in the white house.

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

Question for you. Is the USA-Russia relationship better today than under Trump?

We don't have a president now that is handing over secret documents to them, so maybe it's worse.

You know not getting that Nixon interview really put a damper on the whole "watergate" investigation 🤣 🤣 🤣

 

[cohawk]

That’s a nebulous question.

What are you getting at?

I think he's trying to imply that Trump did a better job.

Putin showered him with compliments which he ate up. Putin owns Trump. He married a Czech lady when it was still behind the Iron Curtain. I bet they've never recorded any of his conversations.

 

[torbee]

Better for whom, the US or Russia?

Exactly.

The cozy Trump-Putin relationship is a serious security threat for the U.S.

One of around 1 million-plus reasons Trump is unqualified for the job.

I love how since Harris became the nominee the right likes to act like she has full power and authority of the POTUS to do anything.

They've spent the last 4 years saying that Trump won and was still running the army or Obama was still running a shadow government. Since Harris came on the scene all that seem to be forgotten and they've all like the idea better that Harris has been and still is in charge of the government.

She can't do any more or any less than what Trump can for the hurricane response.

Were you out of diapers in 1974?

Perhaps ever attend a lecture on the whole apples to oranges theory of how things work?

 

[goldmom]

Not in the White House though, right?

We don’t know, do we? Either way I would think it’s not for lack of trying.

I see this point made by liberals about Trump and Putin. You need to look at the actions of Russia and Trump during the 4 years.

Trump actively pushed NATO countries not to approve the Nord Stream pipeline and said they were nuts to give Russia the power. Trump said no to the completion of that pipeline. Biden comes into office and reverses Trumps position therefore allowing Russia to complete the pipeline.

Trump also approved the sale of rockets to Ukraine.

Here is a list of all of the actions and sanctions under the Trump administration against Putin and Russia

On the record: The U.S. administration’s actions on Russia

What has the administration actually done on Russia? Below is a chronological list of its actions and official statements since January 20, 2017. During that period, the administration has taken 27 actions on Russia.
