Trump's Purpose

I've long ago detected your having a triple digit IQ.

Yeah, but the first two digits are both 0.

So you're a double nought spy?
Wow!
Still, I'm farther down with only 2 digits.

Perhaps sometimes neutrality is indicated if one has no idea how to solve the problem. I was just watching a story on CNN where a TSA employee was going to apply for food stamps. I think that America is in absolute peril, and perhaps the American people could have a "shutdown" of their own to make it impossible for Trump to be comfortable?

Make it impossible to fuel Air Force One? Picket all of his businesses, shut down the ones we can? I have no real idea what can happen to make him uncomfortable. Can the Secret Service go on strike? Ideas? Ideas?

Apparently he just refused Pelosi and some folk the use of a Military Aircraft?

Except they are hardly "friendly" when they invade countries, interfere with elections, poison opposing politicians, etc. And should we really trust a former KGB agent that our intelligence agencies tell us that they have evidence of money laundering?

I also think we need to look at these things realistically. We don't have to trust them completely, but if we could cooperate with and work with Stalin during WW2, then at least there's a basis for a working relationship. I'm not saying it would be perfect, but it could better than the animosity between our two countries now. Even those we consider our closest allies today have had a checkered past, so no one is a saint.

Putin has always wanted to undermine U.S. style democracy, it helps him maintain his power if he can point to the west and say, “see, their system is no better”. If he can show that the west is incompetent or corrupt he counts that as a success. He has been very successful lately.

We certainly don't need Putin's help to show that the West is incompetent or corrupt.

How do you know what Putin has "always wanted" to do?

What was Putin’s purpose?

In my opinion Putin wants power, why and how much I do not know as information concerning him is very limited and I would be speculating a lot.
