Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo Shamelessly Praise Putin  - Democrats

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



February 22, 2022


As a general rule, it's usually good to avoid praising autocratic leaders who have deployed military forces into our ally's territory, but apparently Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo missed that memo. While President Biden is standing strong with our allies across the globe and engaging in intense, sustained diplomacy, Trump and Pompeo are openly and shamelessly praising Vladimir Putin.

Mike Pompeo has offered so much praise for Putin that his interviews are being broadcasted by Russian state TV.


Kansas City Star: "Of all the former secretaries of state under Democratic and Republican presidents, only one is taking to cable news and social media during a moment of peril in Europe to praise Russian President Vladimir Putin and chastise the Biden administration. Mike Pompeo has lauded the Russian strongman over the past month as a 'talented,' 'savvy,' 'capable statesman,' offering his praise during a slew of interviews after his political action committee spent $30,000 on improving his performance in media appearances."
Daily Beast's Julia Davis: "#Russia's state TV is proudly showing off Mike Pompeo's recent commentary, where he said about Putin: 'Very shrewd. Very capable. I have enormous respect for him.'"

The defeated former president has gone even further and called Putin a "genius" for violating Ukrainian territorial sovereignty.


Washington Post: "'Genius,' 'Savvy': Trump reacts to Putin's invasion of Ukraine exactly as you'd expect"

The Hill: "'I said, 'How smart is that? He's going to go in and be a peacekeeper,' added Trump, who regularly praised and sought close ties with Putin during his time in office. 'That's the strongest peace force. We could use that on our southern border. That's the strongest peace force I've ever seen. There were more army tanks than I've ever seen. They're going to keep peace, all right."

Donald Trump: "Putin is now saying, 'It's independent,' a large section of Ukraine. I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's gonna go in and be a peacekeeper … Here's a guy who's very savvy."

I haven't seen the Pompeo video where he gives Putin a metaphorical blowjob on you tube yet , but when I see it there I will post it on this thread. It is pretty mind blowing.

I think you're failing to detect their sarcasm, John. They certainly don't support this "minor incursion" that Biden has been begging for, and now powerless to stop

Another Russian collusion conspiracy? How'd that work out for you?

Most polling shows Americans aren't buying this garbage anymore, furthermore most Americans are suspicious of the tone of our current administration with Russia. Talk tough, all while Russia sends 12 million barrels of oil a day to a US president on his knees begging.

Houston,  democrats have a problem, contact has been lost with reality.

Democrats have gone hog wild over Ukraine and Putin. They need something to try and distract people from the shithole they are turning this country into. So everyone rally around Brandon; or else you are a Putin sympathizer.

Once a barrel of oil tops $150 a barrel the vast majority of Americans won't give a damn about Ukraine (not that they do now). Between gas prices and inflation people will be demanding answers from Brandon. The only thing he will be able to whisper loudly is "Russia, Russia, Russia!!!!"

Will be demanding answers?  We're demanding answers now.  We've been demanding them since 20 January.  And all we've heard is the left crying about Trump every chance they get and distraction after distraction.

It really is too bad we can't praise the human fuck up machine in the Oval Office. Brandon can't stand up to our allies; much the less Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, or the Taliban.

Putin is a demonic asshole that doesn't give a shit about anyone other than himself. That doesn't make him stupid or incapable; or Brandon any more capable more by comparison; no matter how much the left wish it.

So rally around Brandon, or you are a Putin sympathizer? Peddle that shit elsewhere. Conservatives have far more important things to worry about. Like how to fix the human fuck up machine's border crisis, illegal immigration problem, crime problem, inflation, high gas prices, and trying to get the rest of those US citizens, green card holders, and special VISA holders out of Afghanistan that Brandon "turned the page on". If they have time left over they need to launch a full investigation into Hunter; and Biden's pay for play with China, Ukraine, and Russia while he was VP. They can use the same damn rules Democrats did while impeaching Trump.

Pompeo is positively praising Putin, pretty extensively, on the same day that Putin announced a virtual annexation of sovereign Ukrainian territory.

We are not at war with Russia. If you want an example of a politician behaving like a traitor when we were actually at war, look no father than our current President, whose speeches against the first Gulf War were used by Saddam Hussein as propaganda.

I said he's a traitor. There is a difference between traitor and treason.

Our government is trying to forestall the invasion of Ukraine and at the exact same time Pompeo and Trump are literally praising the person doing the invading.

In the meantime the neo-right down south bashes Justin Trudeau for for being some kind of dictator. Well done Putin, now if you don't mind perhaps you could go back to bashing female rock bands ... that really makes you look strong to the current wave of misogynists.

The "source" is questionable for this article, but it should come as no surprise considering what the source is.

MBFC: 

  • Overall, we rate the Democratic National Committee moderately left-biased and Questionable due to the promotion of propaganda, numerous failed fact checks, and controversies.

Hell, to some numbnuts in the left, anything slightly right of CNN and MSNBC is alt-right.

It is to laugh at.

I think it could have gone unsaid. I don't think it was treasonous or anything stupid like that.

And since neither holds any office or power in the federal govt., I look at it as two private citizens voicing their own opinions.

Ah hyperbole. Quickly replacing sarcasm as the lowest form of humor.

First what would Putin gain by "dropping a nuke on Kiev"? Note the location of Ukraine to Russia. Note the number of Russian civilians still residing in Ukraine. Rather defeats the purpose. Putin wants Ukraine whole- maybe not the Ukrainians currently in it- but still a whole country he can transplant new Russians into. 

and these idiots would decry the footage of the mushroom cloud as biased if it were aired on one of their non-preappproved sites.

The left are the very last ones to say anything about "non-preapproved sites". NT is a prime example of narrow minded leftist values on approved sites.

 Oh - and it would be Biden’s fault too.

You mean after Biden, Democrats, their surrogates in the media, and all the leftist lemmings out there got through blaming Trump.
