Trump Confesses that the United States Is a Client of Russia -- EmptyWheel
https://www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/18/trump-confesses-that-the-united-states-is-a-client-of-russia/Trump Confesses that the United States Is a Client of Russia
Such a clear analysis of putin's pawning of trump. Much of the meat is above the quoted excerpt.
The hold Putin has over Trump is existential for Trump. And unless we can expose that, the US will increasingly become a mere satellite of Russia.
Trump is not making America great. He is gutting America.
This is not just about forcing Ukraine to surrender.
Trump has surrendered. And going forward, it is only going to get worse.
