Anti clickbait context: president of Portugal says Trump behaves objectively as if he were a Ruzz asset , roughly said

The ultimate leader of the world’s greatest superpower objectively, it is a Soviet asset, or Russian." These were the words spoken on Wednesday by the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, about the American counterpart, Donald Trump, who has been trying to establish himself as the main mediator of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

Despite these efforts on the part of Washington, the Portuguese head of state considered – in statements within the PSD Summer University, an annual initiative aimed at young cadres of the party, transmitted by the CNN Portugal – that Trump’s management of this crisis has not been beneficial to Ukraine. “In objective terms, it the new American leadership has strategically favored the Russian Federation”, ‘’, said Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, in Castelo de Vide.

    Wow, that’s a first one to say it publicly. Shame other EU leaders still either have their heads in the sand or are Viktor Orban.

      They all know perfectly well what’s going on. But they’d all rather let the fascists win than rock the boat, just like the US Democrats.

    If I was a Russian handler, I’d be getting my asset to be placing as many Russian assets as possible all throughout the key organisations.

    The snake has already spawned multiple Medusas, and it would take decades to weed them all out.

      If I was a Russian handler,

      Very important and valid point.

      Thinking about the implications is mind-blowing. Start imagining what we don’t know or will ever know. There is probably rot everywhere.

      Like for example the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the Trump 2016 and Brexit campaigns, are only a little tip of the (MeduZZa) iceberg. I really liked your medusa reference.

    • Trump corridor in Armenia, splitting Russia and Iran

    • Loss of Russian control in Syria

    • hypersonic rockets in Germany

    • Starshield

    • isolated Russian economy

    That is a bad outcome for Russia if Trump is a Russian asset.

    Why have neither the intelligence services nor the other billionaires prevented the election?

    Trump was elected because the US billionaires wanted him. Calling him a Russian asset just adds a layer to the general deception.
