Krasnov or Dummkopf?
For several years undocumented allegations have been made that Donald Trump is a Russian asset or spy having visited Russia for financial dealings many years ago. These allegations surface from time to time but have never been proven nor taken seriously by the Justice Department nor any congressional committees .
Recently, as we are nearing the midterm elections, a formerly employed Russian bureaucrat has claimed to have documentation to corroborate Trump’s recruitment by Russia under the name of Krasnov. Once again the evidence is not sufficient and suspiciously politically motivated.
However, what is undeniably true is that Donald Trump is a dummkopf who has consistently been played and made a fool of by Putin. Trump’s most recent relaxation of trade restrictions, and agreement to purchase diesel oil from Russia, is just another example of how enamored he is of Putin and unwilling to commit to Ukraine’s defense in this war started by Putin. There is no necessity to document this characterization as Trump has provided all the verbal and written executive orders to make this uncontested.
By virtue of befriending and assisting Putin the war has been prolonged with all the human and financial devastation, and also has alienated our NATO allies from an historically successful relationship.
If there is a positive aspect gained from Trump’s close friendship with Putin it is only how it may have been to his own financial advantage. But from the prospective of national security, financial stability and standing in the world, Trump’s actions are those of a monumental fool.
