No shit
Still takes mettle to say it
Not really, Portugal ain’t gonna do shit about it anyways, it’s just lip service to appease euronazis.
Especially when so few other political leaders are willing to say it anymore.
More of an ‘asset’ I’d wager, but yeah
Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?
From the 2nd paragraph of the Communist manifesto from fucking 1848. Liberals never change.
If i had a penny for every time this has happened i would have a house in Malibu.
Yall remember how Republicans said no one respected the office of president under Obama?
I dont recall anyone calling him insults in an official capacity.
“Whichever one Russia is, I don’t remember”
I like this guy!!
yea well there is at least one European leader with some spine. Everyone else is trying work around Trump’s man childness like the way house staff has to deal with the extremely spoiled kid of a billionaire.
What spine? If Portugal, objectively, says that he is a russian asset, why don’t they back up their lip service with actual acts? Idk maybe kick out the US, coughs russian coughs, troops from their country?
If it is only lip service, he is just throwing some crumbs to the dumbass voting base that has no clue what is going on in the world 😅
this would make mark rutte and VdL russian by proxy? 😂
We’re still doing this? Six years after Mueller came back with nothing? After nine years of failing to validate a single point on the Steele dossier?
I’m embarrassed to say I bought Russiagate for the first three years, but I can accept new evidence (or the lack of it) and move on.
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”
Yes but he’s a republican…
They’re the same picture
People need to say it more, so trump will do what he normally does and sues them.
Donald trump always loses once the case gets to discovery. They are never able to produce credible evidence since it’s all lies and propaganda.
Soviet? Lol okay guys let’s calm it down a bit the Soviet Union has not existed for almost 40 years
Downvotes and replies from the most propagandized idiots I’ve ever interacted with. Lemmoids are just as bad as Redditors ever were lmao
MUST CRUSH CAPITALISM
Trump was honeytrappable buffoon and business fuckup desperate for funding when the USSR was still a going concern.
It’s completely possible.
So your belief is that trump is acting on behalf of a government that has not existed for 40 years?
The allegation is that it was more of a ‘meet the new boss, same as the old boss’ situation for him.
Yeah except the criminals who run Russia now are not communists so they’re not the same at all
Different ideologies Same bosses/corruption
You think Putin isn’t were he is because of what the Soviet Union had before? He didn’t throw it all away

Dude take a chill pill. Reverting to ad hominem is not very useful. Even if you, as I presume, are an ardent communist, you can understand that it’s no wonder that a former KGB agent is the dictator of Russia. Power in one form, even if it is corrupted from your idealist view of it, can very easily migrate to power in another form.
I think it’s a fair statement to say that those arguing that he could be a “Soviet” asset are meaning that he started as one, not that there is a super secret Soviet shadow government continuing 40 years post collapse.
But either way, why call your fellow human worthless? Shouldn’t, even if you view them as ignorant, your goal to be to raise them up? Talking things out is how we find truth. I think generally the ideals of communism, not talking of its implementation, represent a good amount of empathy at the macro level; so why not keep that empathy that you have for the micro level.
I hope you have a good day.
Putin was a mid/upper KGB functionary.
And that a very large number of the people who did very well put of the collapse of the USSR were former communist party officials who got in early on raiding the USSR’s corpse.
Trump isn’t acting on behalf of the USSR in general, but he definitely is funded by and owes favours to older wealthy Russians.
One older Russian, in particular.
You are being pedantic and you know it.
He’s had relationships with the Russians for almost 40 years.
Right as Soviet system was being pulled apart by Western aligned corporations and mafia cartels.
Crazy coincidence.
he’s 79. he’s been krasnov since the 80s
this might blow your mind tranes but there are even some human people older than almost 40 years.
This might blow yours but none of them are working on behalf of a government that doesn’t exist
It also says he’s a Russian asset in the title.
You trying to be nitpicky about it also saying soviet doesn’t change the fact that the orange traitorous cunt is a putins’ little bitch.
Doing the old trick of picking up on one little thing (that may be incorrect) to try to unravel everything else won’t change fuck all. tRUMP is a fucking russian stooge, just like you.Why is it always the brand new accounts with pro-Russia bad faith takes?
I wish they realised that in Moscow
Negative IQ comment
No shit, Sherlock. Tell us something we don’t know.
Soviet??? No budget or agency for him to be an agent of.
NATO supremacist evil has political capital tied up in Russophobia propaganda, and the delusion, once every 100 years, that the next time they invade Russia it will pay off. Only traitors, can ever question the potential failure of lies and money pit, and then traitors cannot be allowed to vote or run for office. All truth and practicalities is treason.
NATO supremacist hatred and threats to Russia are only growing stronger in response to direct economic war by US on NATO members. EU’s political capital is tied to the CIA/US approval of their assent to political power, and US provoked war in Ukraine.
EU is criticizing Trump for not being a Russophobe, while engaging in total Trump sycophancy of imposing austerity on their people in order to spend 5% of GDP on US weapons imports, all to gift to Ukrainian suicidal Russia diminishment.
Thanks, tagging feature. This poster displays a consistent pattern. I wonder why 🤔
Russophobia propaganda
I mean… *motions generally*. Do you really think we got here by pure hatred? Do you think Russia is innocent? That their decades-long cyber warfare doesn’t go unnoticed? That they’re literally threatening the surrounding countries into submission and waging an anti-NATO political war? That they have invaded Ukraine twice and took the slightest circumstance as an excuse to do it again, so they could pin the blame on the West while they openly dream about the revival of the USSR? That they won’t back out of a “special two-week operation” of four years despite having made their case? That they sabotage every chance for peace talks? Weren’t they literally bombing Ukraine while giving lip service to Trump about ending the war? Haven’t they orchestrated and perpetrated thousands of human rights violations by targeting civilians and poaching children for reeducation? That a bloodthirsty and power-hungry dictator’s administration is running the country? That they don’t play an active hand in interfering in foreign elections to topple our stability and governments?
Yeah, it’s all unfounded Russophobia, and we should all reconsider what we think right meow! Or else! Russian style through a window.
That their decades-long cyber warfare doesn’t go unnoticed?
There are click farms on the internet. Many from former CIS states including Ukraine. That KGB/FSB doesn’t arrest them, doesn’t mean they aren’t paid by GOP/CIA for their click content. Even if they have FSB budget, it’s not as though west has pure love for Russia and isn’t subhuman demonic dog shit for trying to nazify Ukraine and Georgia, or video proof of Navaltny destabilization funding, in last 20 years.
That they have invaded Ukraine twice and took the slightest circumstance as an excuse to do it again, so they could pin the blame on the West while they openly dream about the revival of the USSR?
Everything a lie here. Red lines for peace today existed before the war. Ukraine needs to aspire to NATO, remain nazified, and conquer regions where they wish to exterminate population, as their only war objectives.

Everything more lies. Ukraine and NATO scum don’t want peace. As demonic pig vermin, they blaming Russia for not wanting peace, and repeating your lies enough times to brainwash morons, is completely normal Hasbara for demonic pig scum.
“Everything I don’t like is a lie!!”
Ok, sure bud. The tasty sure looks kool-aid.
Demonic subhuman NATO trolls bent on war on Russia must repeat every lie ever for moronic idiocracy to embrace their total subjugation. Everything is true because I love war, and I/my nations people are certain to prosper from total austerity, a draft, and paying the US every cent our country has for weapons to conduct a war without the US on Russia is simply an idiocracy level that is unimaginably extreme that your soul must be throttled out of trusting the pure BS that is bodysnatching you.
What war has NATO ever waged on Russia? Did you know that all of its members joined by their own volition? Do you realize the only one taunting a takeover of other countries is Russia?
The Ukraine and Georgia wars on Russia were entirely US manipulated. The NATO rhetoric of forever needing to diminish Russia, out of demonic evil supremacist principle, simply escapes the cognitive capacity of a collective idiocracy. That propaganda makes people not question demonic NATO membership, doesn’t mean that programing isn’t involved in your so called “own volition” acceptance of demonism, and doesn’t make those imposing your acceptance not corrupt and evil demonic lizardpeople. Simply, NATO has always been at war with Eurasia, and its not Eurasia that prefers the war.
The Ukraine and Georgia wars on Russia were entirely US manipulated
Yeah, it’s ALL the US and NATO’s fault. Russia is innocent! They can do nothing wrong! As we all know, Russia operates in a vacuum and is incapable of doing harm or taking advantage. Do you hear yourself?
Do you know what the reasons were for those two conflicts? RUSSIAN INVASION. Holy shit.
The NATO rhetoric of forever needing to diminish Russia
I mean, do you not realize what’s going on in Ukraine? Don’t you think that now, more than ever, those fears may have been justified all along? Russia JUST threatened France and is hence threatening everyone with WW3.
But Russia can do no wrong!
Wow, what a bellend.
Drink that kool-aid.
