How Trump Plays Into Putin’s Hands, From Ukraine to Slashing U.S. InstitutionsBlackvegetable » 22 Mar 2025, 7:05 am » wrote: ↑ https://www.newsweek.com/watch-putin-la ... ll-2046618
Russian president Vladimir Putin can be seen smiling and laughing when he was told that he's running late for his highly anticipated call with President Donald Trump in a video circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter.
That's a Power Move....Grifty's gonna have to work the balls...
Many of President Trump’s actions have been seen as benefiting Russia either directly or indirectly, so much so that Russian officials have celebrated some of his moves
After he moved to dismantle Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, two U.S.-funded news organizations that have transmitted independent reporting to the Soviet Union and later Russia, Margarita Simonyan, the head of the Russian state broadcaster RT, called it “an awesome decision by Trump.” She added, “We couldn’t shut them down, unfortunately, but America did so itself.”

Speaking with reporters later, Mr. Trump denied that he was pressuring just Ukraine for concessions. “We’re putting a lot of pressure on Russia, and Russia knows that,” he said. Asked what Moscow would have to give up as part of a peace deal, Mr. Trump said only that Russia would not get to take over all of Ukraine — something it had not actually been able to do militarily in the three years since its full-scale invasion. “Stopping the war, stopping taking the whole country, pretty big concession,” he said.
... Mr. Rubio earlier this month shut down an office that tracked foreign disinformation from Russia and other adversaries, asserting that the Biden administration had tried to “censor the voices of Americans.”
Just this week, the White House included in the press pool Tim Pool, a right-wing commentator who was paid $100,000 for each video that he posted to a social media site as part of what the Justice Department called a Russian influence operation. Mr. Pool has said that he did not know the money came from Russia, and he has not been accused of a crime.

Some of the Trump administration’s positions abandon longstanding Republican orthodoxy, and even in some cases stances held by Mr. Trump’s team itself. The National Endowment for Democracy was created under President Ronald Reagan. The now-vacated position on Russian atrocities was mandated by legislation co-sponsored by Representative Michael Waltz, Republican of Florida, who is now Mr. Trump’s national security adviser.
