(#6035) putin conned trump a long time ago!

      trump is like his most ardent followers. Once hooked they remain hooked no matter what. As goes his followers trump is hooked on putin. You may think it is some incriminating evidence that keeps trump hooked and that may be true to an extent. But to me it is the siren call that putin put in his ear that has kept trump from breaking away from putin. That putin financed him and told him stories of trump's future has further cemented the bond between the two. Even to the point of trump trusting putin with his lascivious tendencies. trump worships putin as a role model and will never be able to oppose putin in the ways that protect democracy.
     So all this theater of meetings and threats from trump to putin is not real. It is a strategy to help trump win over America to help putin in any way possible. trump is not yet the king of America so he must be careful now how he presents the worlds head to putin on a plate. None of this that trump is doing is a shock to me because I know what trump is like and how he is with his ego. So as the many in the world continue to hold out for trump to do what is correct and good, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. trump is a despicable man who is not going to give up his vision of putin nor his own ego in order to be a good guy.
     I know what must be done and sadly that is against all my own core principles. Yet we live in a world of imperfect solutions and some that are egregious even to a furious person like me. The worst means to an end is rarely desired but the change in society at that time would be enormous. How do you balance the life of a murderer like putin and the hundreds of thousands he has killed with his own existence? The scales are in a heavy favorite with his victims. To rationalize is to consider the result. I am no perfect human being but my life is not being used to destroy the good in the world that is also harming other beings. We have been at this crossroads for some time and no matter who the mad destroyer is the better outcome is what is needed.
