once Russia is reduced, the world will see peace.
Brexit and Trump are two sides of the same coin.
Russia backed both to shatter the West from the inside. It worked.
A divided Europe and an isolationist US are the best gifts Putin ever got.
We are fighting each other while he tries to rebuild an empire

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It’s mostly known for organizing sporting events, and for being supposed to foster the Olympic ideal while actually submitting to dictators.

I've been arguing that #Europe needs to start retaliating against Russian #hybrid attacks (deterrence by punishment). I think we need to prepare to do the same to the #US. If the GOP starts using USG resources for blatant interference in our domestic politics & to divide us, two can play that game.

He's offering a lot of vague economic promises with large dollar values to bribe Trump, but none will ever realistically happen since Russia is now China's economic vassal.
There's probably a Moscow Trump Tower in there too.🙄
