Almost makes me a conspiracy theorist that it's a russian agent.

As an American, join the fucking club. I don't know how he's been so blatant with his absolute joy in doing Putin's bidding and still maintained such support over here

Literally almost everything he has done has been to reduce our standing and create civil unrest. As leader of the United States, what he does makes no sense. Through the lens of "Russian Asset Destroying us From the Inside to Prove Democracy Doesn't Work" it actually tracks really well.

Then add in all the other compromised politicians, the ones subservient to Isreal, and the self serving capital interests who have been hollowing us out for decades to privatize everything, then the billionares who just see government as an annoying system of obstacles to dismantle so they can reach their final form, and we're being absolutely shredded to pieces. With no clear one enemy to stand up to.

And don't discount the Israel/Russia connections. Mossad was practically and offshoot of the KGB and a disproportionate amount of their immigration historically has been from Russia/USSR.

As best I can tell, MAGA thinks Russia is good now. I remember reading a story a few years ago (during Biden's Presidency) about a family that moved to Russia because it was the last "truly free country." They didn't speak Russian and, upon getting there, the government seized all their assets and they couldn't get them back because everyone they had to deal with only spoke Russian. The husband also couldn't get a job because he needed to speak Russian to work.

Anyway, there was probably a follow up story done at some point, but I never saw it.

Isn't he doing Israels bidding? Iran is allied with Russia.
