Connecting More Dots

When Donald Trump was running for President, his first choice for VP was going to be Chris Christie, former Governor of New Jersey.

But Trump's new Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort, thought his best bet for winning was Mike Pence, the Governor of Indiana. No one could win the Republican nomination without the support of the Religious Right, and Mike Pence had that.

But, who chose Paul Manafort?

He was working in Russia and Ukraine and had volunteered to work for the Trump Campaign for free. He had worked to put the Putin puppet, Yanukovich, in charge as the President of Ukraine in 2010.

The question is: Did Trump choose Manafort or did Putin choose Manafort? Or was it a unanimous decision?

In July of 2016, the Republicans had their Convention in Cleveland, Ohio. At the Convention, someone softened the language about assisting Ukraine with weapons. It was then, and still is, a mystery as to who engineered the change to the platform? Manafort said he "absolutely" had nothing to do with it and did not know about it until the Convention was over.

After Manafort was accused of giving inside campaign polls to Konstantin Kiliminik, a Russian spy, and close confidant of Vladimir Putin, he was dismissed from the campaign by Donald Trump.

After all that has transpired, how could Putin not have been encouraged by the words of Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo, and Tucker Carlson before his recent criminal invasion of Ukraine? After all, Trump was still popular with his Republican supporters in the US.

Putin probably thought of Pompeo as Trump's successor? And Tucker Carlson was reportedly the most-watched television talk-show host in America. He had to have been emboldened by their comments.

There are still a lot of dots to be connected but the picture is beginning to come into clearer focus.

2. And Mitch McConnell knows more than some might think...

They tried to appease him with a promise of an aluminum production plant in Kentucky and donated hundreds of millions of dollars to his PAC to try and keep him as Majority Leader.

4. Manafort owned a condo in Trump Tower. Coincidence?

I imagine that Manafort auditioned for the job.

Kilimnik and Manafort and Trump and Putin got the GQP to change the convention language regarding Ukraine.

Absolutely Putin was encouraged by American traitors to invade Ukraine. Tucker Carlson was praising Putin and downplaying Ukraine. Trump was doing the same, the Putin Party (GQP) was doing the same. Of course all of that helped convince Putin that he could invade Ukraine with little response from the US.

What really irks me is that people believe that the Putin Party (GQP) suddenly cares about Ukraine and suddenly dislikes Putin. The Putin Party is still led by Donald Trump, he won the CPAC straw poll and the only reason that the Putin Party has flipped is because their internal polling told them that backing Putin was not popular. The Putin Party is still an anti-democracy party. We have one choice in the next election, democracy or autocracy.

9. People from the Putin Party who are up for re-election,

this year; how many if asked, will say that he/she condemns Trump for not condemning Putin? Not one of them will be able to say that.

I have zero faith that our MSM will ask them that question.

8. It appears that Trump and Putin were working to tear down Ukraine a long time before...

...Trump was impeached for attempting to extort the new Ukraine President. It was obviously a part of his political campaign, from the very beginning. This latest invasion by Putin is a culmination of their work together.

12. Trump and Putin are still working to tear down democracies all over the world.

Putin doesn't plan on stopping with Ukraine. Trump wants the United States to be just like Russia and so does the Putin Party, they just can't say it.

14. It is noteworthy that Trump went after Biden and his son even before Biden was the nominee?

He did not know that Biden was going to be the Democratic nominee to run against him. He only knew that Biden knew the politics of what was going on. He was a threat to their plans.

The bluegrass primitive is an especially stupid member of the island, but he’s entertaining in his stupidity so hopefully he’ll keep it up. You could get right in his face and explain things and he still wouldn’t budge. Now that’s commitment to stupidity.

Many for 20 years now have warned that as NATO pushed East that Russia would see it as provocation and defend themselves. While on some level it is a Putin thing, it is also an “any Russian leader” thing. We wouldn’t allow an alliance of Russia, China, and other allied nations against the West to become friendly with Mexico and start training troops and supply them with arms. Russia was never going to be OK with this.

The Biden’s, Clinton’s, and other Dems are over neck deep in this power play.

But tell this to the bluegrass primitive — WHOOSH!! — right over his tiny little head.
