PUTINS PAYOUT: 12 WAYS TRUMP HAS SUPPORTED PUTINS FOREIGN POLICY AGENDA
Snip...
Herere twelve ways that Putin has received his payout:
Putins Goal: Weaken and divide the transatlantic alliance.
Putins Payout:Trump undermines US relationships with European allies and calls the USs commitment to NATO into question.
Putins Goal: Degrade the European Union and foster pro-Russian political movements.
Putins Payout:Trump attacks the EU and actively supports anti-EU, Kremlin-backed parties.
Putins Goal: Disrupt American leadership and dominance of the global economic order.
Putins Payout: Trump is eagerly pushing for an all-out trade war with Europe
Putins Goal: Build global resentment and distrust towards the US and stoke anti-American sentiment.
Putins Payout: Americas closest allies are explicitly suspicious and distrusting of the US because of Trumps rhetoric and actions.
Putins Goal: Relieve economic and domestic political pressure from US sanctions on Russia.
Putins Payout: Trump tries to roll back, impede, and blunt the impact of sanctions at every step.
Putins Goal: Legitimize his regime in the eyes of the world.
Putins Payout: Trump repeatedly praises and defends Putin, lending the credibility of the US presidency to Putins standing.
Putins Goal: Revive Russias status as a great power and gain international recognition for its illegal seizure of Crimea.
Putins Payout:Trump publicly says that Crimea is part of Russia and calls for Russia to be welcomed back into the international community with no concessions.
Putins Goal: Continue to sow discord in Western democracies and avoid repercussions for interfering in American and European elections.
Putins Payout: Trump dismisses Russian interference and has done nothing to prevent future interference, putting him at odds with his own intelligence community.
Putins Goal: Soften Americas adversarial stance toward Russia.
Putins Payout: Trump is shifting the Republican Partys generations-long hawkish views on Russia.
Putins Goal: Destabilize the US from within.
Putins Payout: Trump attacks US institutions while driving divisive politics and eroding democratic norms.
Putins goal: Advance the Kremlins narrative to shape global perceptions.
Putins payout: Trump has repeatedly, and inexplicably, parroted Kremlin talking points across a range of global issues.
Putins goal: Undermine international norms and democratic values abroad.
Putins payout: Trump has repeatedly failed to respond to human rights violations or support democracy abroad, creating a more permissive environment for autocrats to crack down.
