    Because a) he’s a Russian asset (apparently) and b) they have incriminating evidence on him and probably a bunch of other billionaires. Also, if they could spend a few billion in return for control of pretty much they would, they’d be willing to pay for it.

      Apparently. It must be part of Flooding the Zone. Everybody has an explanation that is useless because it hides the real motives. Why would the elite accept a known Russian asset? It’s a rumor since the 80ies.

      incriminating evidence

      Against all billionaires? As in the KGB could have won if they would have had it 10 years earlier? The US billionaires own the media. What could happen if something comes out?

      if they could spend a few billion in return for control of pretty much they would, they’d be willing to pay for it.

      True, but how could they outspend US billionaires?

          By which reason? Do I say anything positive about Russia?

          What’s your reason to believe that Trump is a Russian asset?

          I can’t explain how the US billionaires could accept Trump. Please explain to me how that can be possible.

        You might have sense on your side, but it can be very difficult for a reasonable person to make sense of the influence Putin seems to have on Trump. The man is clinically disloyal, but he takes Russia’s side more often than not.

        There could be compromat, but that alone would strongly arouse his ego defense mechanisms. The whole thing might be entirely predicated on flattery. It’s the most disappointing possibility, and we discount it at our peril.

          That’s the point. Flooding the Zone, to paralyze the voters. The political fabric is remade but people only watch and don’t know who is responsible or whom to support to regain influence. Putin is out of reach unless people are ready for WW3. So all thoughts end there.

              War is inevitable unless the US step down voluntarily. China is outpacing western innovation. If the US wants to remain the hegemon they have to break China soon.

              Russia is a piece in that puzzle, nothing more.
