Vladimir Putin Had This to Say about All U.S. Presidents

Guest Post by Moon of Alabama

In May 2017 the Russian president Vladimir Putin had an interview with Le Figaro. He explained his experience with policy preferences forwarded by U.S. presidents:

I have already spoken to three US Presidents. They come and go, but politics stay the same at all times. Do you know why? Because of the powerful bureaucracy. When a person is elected, they may have some ideas. Then people with briefcases arrive, well dressed, wearing dark suits, just like mine, except for the red tie, since they wear black or dark blue ones. These people start explaining how things are done. And instantly, everything changes. This is what happens with every administration.

Comment:  To me it sounds like the CIA shows up.  Then they show the President the horrible Compromising Videos they have on them.  Then they say you wouldn’t want this made public so we will give you a choice.  You can take our directives on Foreign Policy and Stay President or you can keep doing what you are doing and you will be either #1.  Destroyed Publicly With All your Credibility Gone.  #2. Forced to Resign #3. Killed.

It took only two days for that to happen with the second presidency of Donald Trump. Instead of seeking better relations with Russia to end the war in Ukraine, as he had promised during the campaign, Trump initiated a public ‘dialog’ with Russia that seems to make both of these aims impossible.
