20. But this is also FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC!!!

Just read through this thread and look at the talking points!

Ol’ Vlad has figuratively handed us trump’s head on a platter.

There’s nothing like a good visual! NOTHING!!! You get that visual earwig crawling around in the back of your head and you’ll have a hard time getting rid of it. A vivid image really packs a punch. It’s memorable. And you reach the point where you can’t NOT picture it in your mind. And this you will come to associate trump with Putin and vice versa, and Putin is reaping TONS of international condemnation. Add the donald’s hero-worship of Putin and they both get sucked up into a veritable tornado full of negatives.

Negatives that destabilize. As the visuals compound on TV and cable, as the tanks roar by, as the protesters crowd the public square, as the Ukrainians are seen bedding down in subway tunnels, as the explosions and sirens and destruction dominate the news, that will affect public opinion. The donald will issue his statements, but nothing’s gonna match the LIVE action in the war zone.

AND the negative images attach to Putin - with his little dog donald - and they’re both HUGELY DAMAGED in the public relations department. And if the war goes badly and Ukraine hangs on (and becomes increasingly sympathetic in the world view), Vlad and the donald could actually go down.
