    In what way are we allies with Russia in your eyes?

    If we were, the Ukraine / Russia war would be over already with heavy losses on the Ukraine side, instead we literally just gave them even more ammunition.

    Again, it’s a transactional relationship for Trump, which I’m not saying is good at all, but it is the case, and to claim we’re allied with Russia is just factual incorrect.

    I was actually going to commend you for not just assuming I was a trump supporter but… Rip

      Trump is allied with Putin. It’s just going to take a while for him to convert the rest of the country.

      Again, it’s a transactional relationship for Trump,

      It’s more like a close friendship for him.

        Trump and Putin will act in concert if their goals align so they can both personally benefit. They’re both egotistical monsters though who are entirely about themselves and their legacy first and foremost. You’re absolutely reaching by saying they’re close friends or allies, the proof is in the pudding, Trump could have completely pulled out of Ukraine but he hasn’t yet. Why do you think that is?
