If what I just read is true, Putin is the distraction, the shiny object, and we're fucked.

This is a bit long, but, if true, really important. Rachel Maddow has covered these people in her blogs and books, and what's said here fleshes out what I've read from her. But I've never seen the connections put together quite like this. It's breathtaking and terrifying. I'm going to send this to her as well. I'm really shaken after reading this. The full facebook assessment is at the link.

It is disingenuous for Americans and especially the 4th estate to act surprised.

Trump is the Trojan Horse and what happened to the horse when it was inside the gates?

The only question is WHEN they will burn him.

I've been really focused on the Project 2025/Christian Nationalism as end goal, but it could be worse. And it makes a lot of sense, as they say, "follow the money".

Oddly, I can't find "Ukraine", "Russia" or "Putin" discussed in that post. Is the URL correct?
