his biggest global rivals, and all that it took was to bribe a few useful idiots. No armies. No warheads. No tanks. No nukes. Just Trump, Don Jr., Manafort, Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, and a few others. That's it. That's all it took to bring down two super powers.

Unbelievable.

Rotten Ronnie and "Moonbase" Newt helped create the oligarchs who bought the GOP and helped radicalize it. (Don't know about how the UK got to this point).
