Trump probably paid back more than enough through our secrets and the damages he brought into the US.

One day we’ll quantify what that was, aside from that time when drumpf thanked Putin for throwing our spies out

Doing yard work this morning and the same thought kept going through my mind!

What a financial disaster to Putin if Trump doesn't live.

investment for putin. I'm sure he has already received far in excess of $1.1 billion value in services from trump. If trump dies now, it will still be a win for putin. He wants the long term weakening and destruction of the U.S. government, institutions, and alliances. He wants for people to lose faith and trust in the government... to be in turmoil and division. Civil unrest. He's already 'WON' big! '

But of course, like other greedy bastards, he would like for it to continue... he'll keep enjoying the spectacle and the benefits for as long as they go on.
