They probably have Pompeo and Trump on a continuous loop, being traitors to their country and its allies.

I hate these assholes with the energy of 1000 suns.

Setting aside how one feels about Pompeo, his comments struck me as a pretty accurate assessment of Putin.

You don't need to set aside how you feel about Pompeo for that. You can also express your enormous respect for him as well.

He's been able to sow a lot of hate and discontent here in the US, don't you think?

He's someone they respect for his fascistic tendencies. Sowing hate here and invading countries have not yet been proven to be wise moves in the long term. He could very well be sowing the seeds of his own downfall. But go ahead and admire Putin and Pompeo all you want. Hey dump became President and has avoided penalties for all his misdeeds, so I guess you admire him too.

Remember Hitler and Mussolini were "successful" for awhile - until Hitler committed suicide and Mussolini was strung up by a mob. But maybe you admire their early successes.

US. Putin hasn't brought Russia to a competitive level with the US again. All he does is murder to stay in power... is that his shrewdness?

on the US and our democracy haven't they? I'd say Putin has used the weapons and tools he does have pretty effectively.

From the orange POS at the top of the traitor list to the repug candidates running in 2022 to their Russia loving voters. A third of this country are traitors to democracy and the "heroes" like Reagan they claim to love. Fuck them all.
