i'm not the prime minister, and wouldn't project the idea that we have much in common or would come to the same conclusion on this. but, the resolution was actually pretty timid given the realities on the ground. and, the thing i'm revolted by is ms. raitt's brash politicization of an important global issue and use of dog whistle anti-arab racism in her comments that muslims are incapable of building a democracy (it's not true. it's racist.).

canada has always been better than that.

i think he takes the bait, guys. really. he's that dumb. honestly. and, if he does i'll be surprised if the carpet *doesn't* get yanked from underneath him...

he'll figure it out eventually, of course. but, perhaps not before he gives america something it wants in exchange for goodwill. so, watch that space. it's going to define just how stupid the man really is, and whether russia's own deep state has had enough of him or not - because this is far too obvious to fall for, and consequently should not be forgiven.

how's that for soft power?

ahahahahaha

i haven't seen smiley dmitry in a while.

i am not retreating from my previous analysis: the deep state fucked up hard, and trump is going to be a disaster. but i will acknowledge that sending putin trump may have actually been the only way to get him to pull back from syria, which is something the americans desperately need, right now.

don't be fooled by the narrative that trump is working for russia. that's the psy-op. at first, i thought they were trying to take trump down (having served his purpose of keeping clinton out of power, trump is now useless to the deep state), and in the end, they still might. but it's becoming clearer that the actual goal is to get into putin's pants and manipulate him into doing what they want.

you don't order the russians around. that doesn't work. you need to get buddy-buddy with them.

and, it's transparent, as everything the cia does always is. so, this conflict you're seeing develop where senior russians are pushing back and yelling at putin not to fall for it is a real thing. but, he is falling for it. just like he fell for the distraction in ukraine (until he didn't).

if i wasn't clear...

look at this language carefully.

"I always knew he was very smart!"

it's the kind of language you hear from a used cars salesman, after he's sold you a car he knows is going to need thousands of dollars worth of work - or perhaps an art dealer, after she's sold you that abstract representation of a sneeze that's been sitting on the wall for thirty years.

what trump means to say is twofold.

1) he's succesfully grabbed putin by the pussy.
2)....because poor vlad is just not that bright.
