In reply to the discussion: PUTIN: The people behind the Trump dossier are 'worse than prostitutes' [View all]GliderGuider
(21,088 posts)Based on what I think Putin's game is (i.e. the destabilization of the USA) his comment is intended to further delegitimize Trump's presidency (essentially confirming that he has Kompromat), and doing that further destabilizes American politics. Essentially Putin's work has given America a president that it can't get rid of, and that fewer and fewer people regard as legitimate. It's a perfect recipe for political paralysis. Even worse he's created a no-win situation around impeachment. Impeachment is the only legal avenue to remove Trump, but the GOP can't afford to do that or their party collapses, so they'll refuse to impeach - meaning an illegitimate president stays in power. And if they assassinate him the whole country goes into convulsions.
Putin must be mighty pleased with himself and Aleksandr Dugin for creating such a nightmare scenario for the US
Who is Aleksandr Dugin, you may ask...
