If, some fine day, TFG is arrested for his crimes, I hope the judge realizes his connection to Putin and deep affection for Russia makes him a flight risk, and smartly denies bail.

The US is not the problem, it’s Trump and all the people willing to vote for him.

What impossible position? Sending US troops to invade Ukraine from the west so they could high-five with Russian troops in the middle? Because that’s the only way TFG would have “solved” the Ukraine invasion.

You could say that they hate us for our freedom
“Al-Qaeda The GOP is a movement defined by hatred. They hate progress, and freedom, and choice, and culture, and music, and laughter, and women, [added] and trans people, and gay people, and people of color [/added], and Christians [moved] who reject their distorted doctrines [moved], and Jews, and all Muslims who reject their distorted doctrines. They love and worship only one thing, and that is power – power they use without mercy to kill the innocent.”
Slightly edited excerpt of the State Department’s
The Global War on Terrorism: The First 100 Days
“This new enemy seeks to destroy our freedom and impose its views. We value life; the terrorists GOP ruthlessly destroys it. We value education; the terrorists GOP does not believe women should be educated or should have health care, or should leave their homes. We value the right to speak our minds; for the terrorists GOP, free expression can be grounds for execution. We respect people of all faiths and welcome the free practice of religion; our enemy the GOP wants to dictate how to think and how to worship even to their fellow Muslims Christians.”
–President George W. Bush, 11/8/01 slightly edited
ETA: Also either that State Dept report is a grammatical nightmare, or I don’t understand how commas and “and” work. I have edited my additions to match now though!

Once again, his strategy boils down to “fire all the people I don’t like”. Hey, isn’t that basically cancel culture, but for Republicans?

More like round them up and put them into camps and kill them… but yeah, otherwise, just like criticizing transphobes for hanging their stars on some fascist ideas about gender… Both sides are bad, after all… /s

The ignorance on display here is just astonishing. As if to say, there are Russian-speaking areas therefore let’s just cede it to the Russians! Problem solved! What a genius! Why didn’t anybody else think of that?
Never mind Russian is widely spoken or understood by most Ukrainians, and is the first language for a good sized chunk of the population especially to the east. That doesn’t mean they want to become Russia.

The latter more or less tends to validate the former. With Trump (or any compliant pro-Russian US president) still in the WH, Putin could depend on little to no interference from the so-called World’s Policeman; undermine the NATO alliance; hand all of Ukraine over to Russia (as a first step in reestablishing Soviet Russia); and give Russia freer rein in the Middle East (Syria, as one example.) When the World’s Policeman is headed by a useful idiot, then a lot can get done… and undone.

Also, the nice touch that many Russians visiting Slavic-speaking countries west of theirs tend to speak Russian only – despite understanding the native tongue of their hosts, in a way to subtly condescend and insult their hosts.

How can Trump run as a Republican when he is clearly a dissident? He is opposed to the United States representative democracy and wants to hand pick his own bureaucracy with himself as Supreme Leader to run the entire country. This message is clear in almost everything he has said lately. He seems to want the same powers as Putin.
I’ve got bad news for him though. The last time someone annoited himself “King” over the United States it didn’t go very well for him or his loyal subjects. The money they lost would probably translate into the hundreds of billions in todays money and their world wide political influence began to deteriorate rapidly.
Because the GOP will let him and they only care about winning, and not about actual democracy?
We’ve only very recently been an actual democracy (still highly imperfect), and there is not guarantee that we can’t go back to not being a real democracy.
