6. Putin and the Russian government
Fri Apr 24, 2026, 11:40 PM

is one of if not the most corrupt and evil forces in the world today. That's why the people in the front line countries of Poland, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, etc. hold more weight in my opinion than others. They have an intimate experience with the evil of Russian imperialism. Learned through centuries of struggle to throw away the Russian yoke that was placed on their necks. As an American, I hang my head in shame every time I hear Trump or anyone in positions of power take Putin's side in the Russian terror war against Ukraine.

If Trump thinks he will experience financial gain from kissing Putin's boots, he's fooling himself. Putin will reel him in and then backstab him. It only takes time for Russian backstabbing to reveal itself.
