I was thinking the current administration would accept his help with thanks then set up a phone conversation with a Putin-mimic and a “Russian” translator. Just _think_ of what a gold mine that would be. I suppose it would be entrapment, though. ---

I think that Putin thought that Trump would get re-elected. And not give Ukraine any help. Trump was already mad at Zelenskyy because he stood up to Trump. So Trump tried extortion. That didn’t work either. But the wheels were already in motion for the Ukraine invasion. He could have stopped it but didn’t. Just like Trump, his ego arrives 20 minutes before he does. Trump thought that he could make it up to HBFF by stealing top secret documents. Or Putin directed him to do that. It may be an idea that Trump came up with on his own though. Trump is a cheat, a criminal and liar. But also really, really stupid. ---

My take is that Putin expected now that thanks to the economical unrest in the US, in part as a _result_ of the war, that that would get the Republicans and Trump back in power. Really, after Trumpfinger called Putin’s invasion a ‘genius move’, every American should have dumped him. ---

Okay. I’ll eat a little crow on this one. Selfless TFG has once again put the needs of the less fortunate ahead of his personal pecuniary interests by putting together a PSA that pleads for donations to credible disaster relief organizations to help his fellow Floridians who are suffering so much damage at the hands of Ian.
