Krasnov is using the Chewbacca defense

[PurgedVoter]

Krasnov is throwing nonsense around and it is working. It is distracting from the simple truth.
Krasnov works for Putin. He is doing Putin's bidding. Tariffs are just a way to break up US alliances. There is no real or rational motive.
He is doing Putin's bidding. Breaking us up with Canada and Mexico and all of our European allies who have worked with us and stood up with us. This is simple and clear. This is breaking up reasonable resistance to Putin's goals. This is destroying rational unity. The fact that is also going to tank economies is just frosting on the cake. This is breaking alliances, reducing trust and making the free world less safe.

There is no brilliant strategy here apart from Putin getting Krasnov into office.

All the analysis, all the questions, just show how easy it is to get pulled into the nonsense. The truth is quite simple.

1. Absolutely & R House is absolutely complicit for not impeaching RIGHT NOW!

12. Been There, done that

TWICE..........as long as there is a Trump controlled Republican Senate, it won't do any good........

Vance wouldn't be any good either, maybe somewhat worse in several ways.

13. I know

They are repulsive.

If I ever felt a need to choose party over country, I would not want to be part of that party anymore.

2. I agree with your analysis. The goal is simply to do Putin's bidding and to wreak as much destruction as possible.

I forget, though, how the Chewbacca angle works, since my only viewing of a Star Wars movie was back in 1977 when the first one came out.

BTW, I think Mr. Mayhew was great in that role.

3. The Chewbacca defence was from a South Park episode

Essentially a lawyer in South Park threw up a bunch of nonsense, said it was nonsense and confused the jury. Lawyers now reference and use the term all the time to describe nonsense arguments used by lawyers.

5. Ha! Thank you for your explanation of that humorous device. I was not aware of it.

11. Just checked and the OP account is from 2005

Like mine. The GEN X is strong in this one.

4. Maybe our Democratic leaders or any elected Democrat for that matter can start addressing this

Like every fucking day. I mean we’re only talking about the fate of our nation and global stability here.

It wouldn’t even be a risk for any nervous Nellies out there. Last I saw Trump was -18 on his handling of Russia.

Every now and then someone strikes the right note. When JB Pritzker was asked about a month ago if he had one question for Trump without missing a beat he said, “What does Vladimir Putin have on you?” Until we find out our party should be blasting that message out every day. Per your OP, it’s not as if we lack supporting evidence for the claim.

6. Maybe we

Maybe we, should start teaching Russian in schools (if there are any schools left). Old but tried and true strategy, 'look to the left,, while I steal everything on the right'.

7. Pelosi: "All roads lead to Putin."

[SheltieLover]

14. Absolutely

[relayerbob]

8. 100% agreed. This is straight up unconventional warfare

And way too many are colluding with the real enemy

[Orrex]

9. Why doesn't he just fucking die?

[SheltieLover]

15. So many great possibilities...

Boggles the mind.

[Mr. Ected]

10. The fact that he imposed tariffs on penguins but not on Russia tells you everything you need to know

Trump is Russian asset and an American asshat.

[clevergrrrl]

16. Absolute destruction

And the so called Christians and MAGAts who are actually nihilists are cheering it on because they are too stupid to know any better cuz Amurica or some bullshit.

17. Market Manipulation in the Middle of Destruction is an added Bonus for the evil bastards.

I expect that under the table bribes from countries that don't want to suffer are expected as well. Pity that Krasnov doesn't seem to keep deals unless they are with Putin. Those pee tapes have got to be a lot worse than anyone has yet imagined.
