..."The supreme leader of the world’s greatest superpower, objectively, is a Soviet or Russian asset,” Marcelo told his young audience.

“Objectively, the new American leadership has strategically favored the Russian Federation (…) they have gone from being allies on one side, to arbiters of the challenge…”...(more)

1. Good observation.

I think I’ll go to Portugal for vacation.
They seem to know what truth is.

I like that.

2. ."The supreme leader of the world's greatest superpower, objectively, is a Soviet or Russian asset,"

Yup!

Putin owns Trump.

3. Instead of calling him "Daddy" the EU nations and other democratic societies need to start saying it and calling him out

Outrageous? Nope.

I honestly believe if the various leaders of all EU nations and democracies around the world start saying what the Portuguese President just openly said and so many have either suspected or even known - let the orange traitor defend himself and refute.

But make him have to answer and it’s about time the world called the traitor out.

6. I totally agree! But I'm afraid it's all to be lost if they can't "dumb down"

what they're saying. Honestly... do you really think trump understands what this sentence means? I doubt he even knows the word "arbiter" outside of business mediations!

Objectively, the new American leadership has strategically favored the Russian Federation (…) they have gone from being allies on one side, to arbiters of the challenge…”

9. Yes. Just state the obvious. Don't gaslight your people.

Too many European leaders fear retribution and hope to just ride out the storm. It won't work.

[Trueblue Texan]

20. That'd be great.

Some of us have been saying it for years and most folks think we're extremists. We're just observant and don't keep our head in the sand. Maybe with world leaders saying it, people will have to pay attention.

4. Finally, a leader speaking the truth about the fat orange racist imbecile

Refreshing to say the least!

7. Didn't one of putins inner circle let slip that they call

T krasnov? Reason we see him referred to by that name on some websites.

Edited to add: this was just after the disastrous election, when they were gloating about their guy winning and that they helped to win.

8. Gee, ya think?

12. Yeah, better ten years late than never. nt

10. Since the first contact with Putin, Putin has been priming his asset.

Dump is too stupid to even know he was manipulated.

I firmly believe it was Putin, long ago in the 2000''s, who whispered in dumps ear that he could be pResident...

18. If I'm not mistaken

(and I'll admit sometimes I am) the initial mutual grooming began back around 1987 when djt traveled to Russia & met with Puti.. I think the meeting concerned bringing djt's beauty pageant and/or djt's desire to build a Trump Tower in Russia. Amazingly, djt returned home and placed a page sized ad in the NYTs against NATO.

19. You're close, but Putin was low level in 1987 and I think in Germany

According to the orange ones book it was Soviet ambassador Yuri Dubinin who, in 1987, somehow managed to get a seat next to dump and talked him up as the KGB had taught them to do in order to get prominent americans to Moscow in order to gain kompromat.

On the plane he said Durbinin chatted him up and then viola, lets do a deal in Moscow for a hotel...I wonder what the young dumpster was into back in the 80's

[Ilsa]

11. I read a news item today that a lip-reader said

Trump told Putin he was going to help him when they met in Alaska. Yeah, he's an asset.

[dalton99a]

13. The entire world knows Trump is Putin's little puppet.

16. Remember The Mueller Repot.

And the first term.

The only conclusion is, “duh.”

17. He had nothing to lose or gain, so he told the world the truth.
