Key difference being that Netanyahu (and Bin Salman to a lesser degree)) represents a country that is in a geopolitical alliance with the United States, while Putin represents an outright hostile state, which directly threatens other US allies daily.

I would say that is a pretty damn significant difference myself.

Hostile to/with whom?

The United States, rest of NATO as well as associate states.

But I know what you are getting at, obviously. Trump and personal transactionalism.

But the fact remains that Putin is extremely hostile to the United States, even though he chooses to show Trump his other face in meetings and phone calls.

The meeting in Alaska (Russians are bringing as earlier stated a team to talk about arms control,economic cooperation and such bullshit to derail everything) will coincide with the Russians very soon launching an ICBM to show off. Prepararions are under way and Trump will buy it and be maniplated as always.
Seen here, picture from Planet Labs of activity that can only mean imminent launch.

They will be testing Skyfall/9M730 Burevestnik to make an impression on Trump. Which will work. Again.

Reuters story, interviewing one of my favorites, Dr. Lewis:

It is worth saying again, if your 5 year old spoke to you like this you’d think you were raising a moron.

Putin will probably send his doppelganger

The Orange Caligula won’t even know the difference

The dude has such a never-ending need for constant praise 24/7 that even all the yes people and ass kissers he surrounds himself with won’t suffice. Still needs to constantly make up these imaginary dialogues (in the dumbest way possible).

You come home from work and your kid comes in and starts telling you a really dumb story


“and then and then and uh then uh they uh found a thousand million dollars.”
“A thousand million?”
“Yeah. And uh and they didnt know where it came from. And then uh and then I said did you check the tariff shelf?”
“The tariff shelf? What is a tariff shelf?”
“yeah. the tariff shelf. It’s uh it’s where people put their tariff money when they pay it. They put it in an envelop and uh put it on the tariff shelf and that is how they pay tariffs.”

“HONEY, I think we can stop paying into Jr’s college fund. I don’t think he’s going to need it.”

Found this with a casual google search and apologies if it is from a dubious source but seems to fit.

Talking if fit I think a cross between Richard II and Henry VIII

I don’t get the “oh they have only wifi”. Alaska is hardly in the jungles of Burma and its 2025, so cannot possibly be a big problem.

No chance of it to happen, but as Trump doesn’t respect any kind of interrnational law, how about him going into full Borgia-style mode, arresting Putin and his clique, before water-boarding them into submission? :wink:

No idea what the consequences would be, but it would be wonderful to see the guy who has done everything since decades to weaken international law, fall victim to his schemes.

Sandwich guy had his charges dismissed in DC court. The DOJ refiled in federal court and then sent 20 officers to house to rearrest him.

Nothing about any of this is about actually addressing crime because no one serious about that would put this sort of resources into such an absurd case. This is solely about sending very visible messages about what happens to dissenters.
