It’s basic mob speak. ”nice defense pact you got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it" I guarantee if they privately slipped him a fraction of the unmet obligation. He’d suddenly stop caring. Either way though. What he’s doing is not how things work, or were ever intended to. And there’s no reason anyone would behave the way he is. Without hope for coerced quid pro quo.
He’s 100% gunning for tribute. The grift is all he knows. It’s not a strawman.
Isn’t he already bought and komrpomised by Russia?
I suppose he could always double dip, not sure how happy Putin would be.
Wdit: I’ll standby this point: if that’s your opinion, then it sounds feasible. It is not fact and I’d prefer we not create our own facts. It was stated as fact, not opinion.
It’s very likely. Though I don’t think Putin really needed to with him. I think all he had to do was offer him some money and Trump would eagerly play along. Money and his ego are his only morals. If you play to either one of those. You can puppeteer him all day long.
What I said was no more opinion than what you said. Which is fair. Though I would point out that this is very highly backed by evidence and facts. But again, as with all things. Until such time as we get him in captivity of some sort where he can be fully evaluated. Yes. All of this is largely opinion, observation and speculation either way.
