    I don’t think so. I don’t think Trump has any allegiances to anyone but himself. He’ll only go along with what Putin wants so long as it serves Trump. That’s awful, of course, but he’s not a puppet.

      That is probably exactly how he sees it, yes. Unfortunately for him, Putin is actually quite competent at manipulation

      You’re very wrong.

      That’s fine, I’m just saying, his connections and the naked influencing are very well documented. How Much he’s a puppet in terms of what he may or may not “believe” versus what he’s told to do is a question. But that he is - for various political topics - directed, there’s no doubt.

      Example: Ukraine
