Nikolay Patrushev agreed that Trump, when he was still a candidate, "made many statements critical of the destructive foreign and domestic policies pursued by the current administration"

MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. In his future policies, including those on the Russian track US President-elect Donald Trump will rely on the commitments to the forces that brought him to power, rather than on election pledges, Russian presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev told the daily Kommersant in an interview.

"The election campaign is over," Patrushev noted. "To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."

He agreed that Trump, when he was still a candidate, "made many statements critical of the destructive foreign and domestic policies pursued by the current administration."

I can't believe I'm posting a news source from a Russian News agency.
Please forgive me, but if this is even 50% true, WOW!

We already feel that Pendejo45 is a Russian agent, but this shows that he compromised to do Russia's bidding.
What a mess we are going to be in, in the next 4 years.

But again, much of the US is too stupid to understand that. They probably don't even realize that Russia is allies with Iran, China, and North Korea.

The cozy connection that Pendejo45 has with the leader of the cold war instigator, insults those of us that worked to defeat the Soviet Bloc and now Pendejo45 is about to let them recreate the USSR that Put-In wants.
I was in Berlin for 2.5 years, just after the wall went down.
I helped install equipment for the British and I was part of the handover to the Germans 2 years later.
This really p1$$e$ me off.

8. Interesting. But there is some big irony in this

I read about the years leading up to Berlin Wall coming down (I wasn't born yet at the time), and reading the words, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down his wall! Now as an aside, his last name was actually Gorbachyov. In Russian, ё and e are two different letters. The former is put as yo while the latter is e, or ye if is at the beginning of the word, after a soft sign, or after a vowel. However, in practice, the distinction is often not shown. But I digress. In any case, you know, Reagan would be considered left to the MAGA bastards. Think about this: what did Putin and Heydar Aliyev (the father of Ilham Aliyev) of Azerbaijan have in common? They were KGB officers. Ironically, when Russia says that they are a bastion of traditional values, while they may be the case now in the Orthodox Church, at the time during the Soviet Union, they weren't, or at least not openly. So they are hypocritical and don't know their own history.

But again, to these MAGA voters, when it comes to Trump and Putin, they see no evil, hear no evil, or speak no evil, and even that expression has irony in itself. The original story of the three wise monkeys, which was based in Confucianism in Japan, says to avoid evil and be prudent about it. But yeah, they are hypocrites.

2. Soon we'll see the news outlets change their song--probably not the big dogs, though.

"How can this happen in the U.S.?"
Yeah, just like in 2016, you all turned a blind eye to an idiot, so you could make more bucks.
