I wasn’t fully convinced before that Putin has Trump in his pocket, but after that stunt, I am convinced that he is under Putin’s thumb. Trump and co. could have had marching orders from Putin to do exactly that. Also, this is something that Putin have done and would do, publicly humiliating someone on live TV.
They are imbecilic strongmen, they think they are all powerful and think doing this in public is proof of their superiority. It only proved the opposite, as we all know. Petulant children have more restraint.
If you genuinely think Putin is some master manipulator, then I feel really sorry for you.
It’s just Trump being Trump
I mean Putin worked for 16 years in the KGB before going on to dismantle a democracy. He better be a master manipulator.
Eh, I don’t think anyone would’ve called Russia a democracy after the end of the USSR. It was a complete shitshow during the whole 90s
Putin was elected in free and fair elections in 2000 and 2004, so Russia was enough of a democracy to just… elect someone else.
