Fellow Russian puppets got each other’s backs.

You mean like… CETA?

What I mean is the whole threats of tariffs thing is distracting people from the hollowing out of the government and checks / balances that make it a democracy. Removing protections against and sanctions on Russia. Pouring all the goodwill and trust on the stage of world politics down the drain. Who stands to benefit from an isolated US and infighting within NATO?

All distractions and creating confusion… stop listening to what he says and start paying attention to what he and the people he appointed do and who benefit from it.
