The dumbest of all Americans, one Donald Trump, thinks Putin is his friend. Trump is like the fat classmate in the courtyard always trying to please the class bully because he gets protection and looks good to the others.
Americans' ignorance of people and nations around the world is a reputation they themselves cultivate. They have been so conditioned by a socially totalitarian system, by Hollywood, corporations, and advertisers to believe that conformity, being insincerely nice and smiling all the time generate positivity and therefore indirectly success. It's the only people in earth who believe you can reverse the natural trajectory of happiness: By appearing and looking happy, you can actually defeat reality. As such they are easy preys to predators. That is why the only weapon Americans have against the intelligence of other peoples is violence and warfare. Their inability at understanding and outsmarting other people leaves them no recourse but to resort to massive violence. And this is reflected in their "cultural" output: Nine out of ten Hollywood movies that are disseminated like the plague across the world reek of blood, gore, violence, guns, and unspeakable atrocities. When overseas anywhere near the Middle East, watch the OSN channels and see for yourself what America is feeding the Arab peoples: For every 10 minutes of soc-called news, you are served 20 minutes of loud commercials for movies ranging from the absolutely stupid to the abjectly violent.
In America, if you meet someone on the street once and exchange a few platitudes, they become a "friend". Friendship, as superficial as it can be, has a very different definition in the American dictionary than in all other dictionaries. I think Trump really believes that Putin or Netanyahu of Kim Jong-Un are his "friends" because he met them once or twice. What he doesn't know is deep inside, they all know he's a dumb idiot they can manipulate. Just look at Netanyahu's smile stretching from his large right era to his large left ear upon hearing that Trump won the election. You can tell from Putin's smirky smile as he meets and looks at Trump that he is thinking to himself: This international village idiot is manna from heaven.
From the moment Trump was declared a victor in the elections, Vladimir Putin - a strongman he admires most - is messing with his head. He didn't immediately congratulate him. He waited a few days to let the fat idiot crave and anxiously wait for "my friend" Vladimir to call.
Trump then claimed that during his shoe-licking phone call to the bully Putin, he "told" Putin not to escalate the war in Ukraine, thus proving to his dumb electorate that he checked one election promise on his checking list. That's it: Trump made peace in Ukraine by telling his buddy Vladimir to tone it down. That's how they operate in the Mafia.
But a Kremlin spokesman denied that the two buddies had spoken on the phone at all. Is Trump lying like he pathologically does? Who knows? To rely on the Russians to get the truth is like getting trump to tell the truth. That's why he andd Vlado are buddies. But it is scary to realize that Trump thinks Putin will actually stop his war on Ukraine as a friendly favor one Mafia boss does to his buddy.
Then the climax of the rapprochement "engineered" by Trump in one made up phone call came when Russia’s intelligence chief, Nikolai Patrushev, said in an interview to the Russian newspaper Kommersant:
"The election campaign is over. To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."
In other words, "we put you in the White House, Donald, now you must fulfill the obligations you owe us."
How did the Russians do it, back in 2016, then again in 2024? They created and disseminated phony videos designed to swing voters away from Vice President Kamala Harris. One video, for example, show illegal Haitian immigrants voting. The FBI, the director of national intelligence, and the top cybersecurity agency issued a rare joint statement warning that these videos were false and Russian in origin. Russians also phoned in bomb scares to polling stations in Black neighborhoods that tend to favor Democratic candidates.
Russia’s main goal, in all these misinformation ventures, is to sow chaos, breed mistrust in institutions, and weaken democracy in Western countries, especially in the U.S. And the Russian "frienship" gambit has been paying off: At his first-term news conference in Helsinki, he said he believed Putin rather than his own intelligence agencies on the question of whether Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Trump abhors NATO, he said it many times. He doesn't understand the value of NATO but rather penny-pinches the organization and threatens allied countries facing the mounting Russian threat on their borders of withdrawing American assistance if they don't pay up! Again, Mafia practices.
Trump considers U.S. military aid to Ukraine to be a waste of money; he doesn’t much like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, decrying him as a “salesman,” and he no doubt remains bitter over the scandal he made when he tried to hold up delivery of U.S. anti-tank missiles yo Ukraine unless Zelensky agreed to dig up dirt on Hunter Biden.
The deep and largely unsaid reason for Trump's love to Putin is to be found in the white supremacist playbook one can listen to and watch on all the alt-right and other white Christian fundamentalist media: Russia is white. It is Christian. And it is militaristic. And that is exactly where Trump and his followers want to take America. Hence, we should ally ourselves with the Russians against everyone else.
I doubt that Trump will ever realize the con job his friend Putin is running on him. Trump has been dumb all his life. His brain cannot be unwired as he nears 80 years of age. But he will soon be tested in how far his buddy Valdimir is willing to go to help him pretend that he made peace in Ukraine. Same thing with Netanyahu in Palestine. After all, all three of them are convicted criminal felons.
