[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Russia has its own deep-seated pathologies and admiration for strongmen, which is something that Trump has plugged into. One of the principle ways for Putin and his oligarchs to retain power is to get the populace to buy into the fiction that the US is the "enemy" of Mother Russia. So you invade Georgia, retake the Crimea and meddle in Eastern Ukraine to distract from the fact you are a weakened player with little influence on the world stage. It's a tried and true formula for demagogues and dictators.[/quote] Just to reassure you that 99.99999999999999% of the Russian populace, including its political class, doesn't give a fuck about Trump. So it's not like there's anything for him to plug into. [/quote]
