The fukked up part is, Trump is not only doing Putin's bidding for him, but also propping up Russia's world standing in the court of public opinions. From all the shyt in this thread, I have learned, and am now certain that Putin is holding his leadership of the country by a string. The oligarchs run the country, which we know, and when he put the richest one on trial in front of the whole country, yes, he pulled some alpha shyt to make himself look like a strongman, and everybody fell in line.....but that was supposed to be the turning point. Here we are, years later, and things have not gotten better. The only real change has been that Putin saw his bankroll get boosted to fukk all, the common Russian man/woman is still poor as fukk with no relief in sight, and since Browder has come through and crushed the buildings, the oligarchs just ain't gonna let Putin keep fukking up they money. Yes, the shyt they did to us was highly successful in fukking up our standing in the world, but that shyt is shortsighted, because as soon as Trump is out, the sanctions we are going to put on Russia are going to make the Maginstky shyt look like a slap on the wrist. They better consolidate as much power as they possibly can in all the areas we "lost interest" in with this America First bullshyt, because as soon as Trump is out, I'm predicting that Putin will be quick to follow, and hopefully he will be one in the cage being made an example of in front of the whole country, and the next leader of Russia perhaps spread that money back to the countrymen/women where it belongs. We need to get back to the normal order of things.
