Focusing too much on the minutiae of Russian statecraft often overlooks the simple truth: Vladimir Putin will do anything he can to stay in power.
Putin Is a Gambler, not a Grand Master
The Russian president has abandoned real strategy for a single goal.

Perhaps the guy who doubled his net worth by raking in billions via crypto dinners could put up some of his own cash instead of scamming your grandparents out of $2,500 during the holidays.

Trump, a silver spoon nepo baby that received a “small loan of a million dollars” from his dad to start his business, has publicly expressed wonder at the word “groceries” for more than a year now.

“Who uses the word?” Trump told Meet the Press with a completely straight face. trib.al/vWdeQXQ

271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.

"Donald Trump calls himself the “Peace President.” But this week, as he outlined his plans to capture Greenland and hijack Venezuelan oil, his real agenda became obvious. It’s not peace. It’s extortion, conquest, and theft."

Garcia: They are, on one hand, putting names of survivors in these documents that are not redacted. And in these same documents, they're taking extra time and being extra careful to redact the names of the coconspirators

Merry Christmas!
“Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told the FBI in 2023 that Epstein was murdered in his jail cell because he was about to ‘name names.’ Mark Epstein, 71, who has long believed that his brother was killed, also alleged in the tip that President Trump ‘authorized’ the late sex trafficker’s murder.”
Latest Epstein files name Trump multiple times
In the more than 10,000 files released Tuesday, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, said the sex trafficker was killed because he was going to name co-conspirators.

Like the Kremlin does.
Trump’s 'National Security Strategy' declares the US will focus on 'cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations.' That amounts to a declaration the US will promote regime change in countries that remain governed by pro-democracy parties that support the EU and NATO"
Make America Weak
Trump is systematically undermining America's interests at home and abroad.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.
