Bannon is one stupid prima donna.

[Eyeball_Kid]

He fell hook, line and sinker for Russia's cover story. He actually thinks that Putin is a white nationalist. Putin is nothing of the sort. He had Bannon figured out years ago and he's been stringing him along with this Dubin bullshit about white nationalism. When Bannon discovers the truth, he'll want check out and never return, so to speak. Putin is an internationalist of the worst kind, so utterly pragmatic and imperialistic that Bannon AND Trumpy think he's spearheading some kind of fantasy movement that will set every white man free (Women don't count in this movement.). When Bannon finds out that he's been taken for a royal ride, he'll shit his pants big time. I hope he does his own laundry.

1. Questions

What in Putin's past makes you believe that he is not a White Nationalist? He certainly seems to provide at least some support for racist movements in Russia. Granted, I am not closely following Putin's career and policies and I do see that Putin's power and the reestablishment of Russian power appear to be his primary goals, but aren't those in line with the White Supremacy movement in Europe and in America?

3. Putin is running the old script that never seems to die.

He and his business partners are draining Russia dry. Putin is now the richest man in the world, with something like 80 billion, all stolen from oligarchs, banks, and citizens alike. Now you tell me that he's a white nationalist. He's a goddamn thief who's sending his followers down the white nationalist path so they don't get enraged at him for his thefts and have him disemboweled in front of the Kremlin. Send the masses down some rabbit hole while we steal billions. Get it? Trumpy's doing the same thing with the Nazis and white supremacists. Look at what his Cabinet is doing with executive actions.

It's a fucking money game.

4. I understand that he is a crook.

And I read somewhere that he is worth 200 billion or more. My question is, can't he be both? A crook and a White Supremacist?

I don't disagree with you that Bannon is a Prima Donna. I don't disagree that he is expendable either. I am just proposing that Both Putin and Trump can be fleecing their own followers, but still be racist trash themselves, except green (or whatever color Russian money is) matter more than White.

2. No Bannon and Putin are on the same page

They both want to sow violence and confusion, to enhance their own power.
