Olga Lautman: The Russians are sending a message to Trump

First Patrushev, who helped blow up apartment buildings in Russia to get Putin elected, said that Trump owes a debt and needs to repay while following up that he hoped Trump isn’t killed.

And now Putin discusses that Trump needs to be careful not to get killed.

The Russians are sending a message

Very interesting how they are obsessed with Trump’s safety. Mafia state

these statements were made, especially the one about him owing a debt that must be repaid. My thinking is that while Trump hits back when insulted by someone he perceives as lower than him, to be humiliated by someone with more power and prestige is something he could never bring himself to acknowledge. It is almost his worst nightmare. It is reminiscent of Mike Bloomberg's 2020 ads depicting Trump as incompetent to even run a golf course, ads that emphasized Trump's obesity. He never even could bring himself to comment on them. (Trump desperately aspired to be in the club that Mike Bloomberg was in, but was shunned and laughed out of it).

Russia would not, at this point at least, even think about harming Trump. But they are signaling to the international community who the boss is.

This is truly an extraordinary humiliation. Only, maybe, in private conversations with Putin would Trump ever mention it, and then in a joking way telling Putin to "lay off" or perhaps asking Putin what he is trying to accomplish.

MAGAts run around wearing T-shirts with this slogan, “I’d rather be a Russian than a Democrat”.
To them I say, go home and drown yourself in a pot of borscht.

I can't figure out whether this is a threat, or they have insider knowledge.

Yesterday Putin was threatening Zelensky.
Putin said he was going to bomb Ukraine decision making centers.
Which is where Zelensky is located.

So in two days Putin is threatening to kill Trump and Zelensky.
Why? What is going on?

Convicted felon, rapist, serial lying moral degenerate, stealer of classified material, sexist, racist cheered on by party members. Heavily indebted to Russia? For what? Yes neighbors who voted for trump, share with us your love of country and patriotism. What about the price of eggs? What about her emails?

The deal that if Putin steals the election for Trump, Trump will hand him Ukraine
and lift all sanctions?

the DOJ or FBI or even NSA or CIA would want to investigate?
Sorry. Don't know what came over me. It's like someone threw away a perfectly good Garland.*

But it might be more for the CIA to handle.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I saw a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again, today.
He must be from the CIA.

Maybe they could be a bit more specific. Anyway, no president should be personally indebted to an adversary. Where’s the FBI, and the intelligence community on this? Where is TSF’s comment/denial? Where is the Democratic response?

Always ask if the applicant has engaged with entities advocating overthrowing the government. And of course, the applicant must sign. I don’t know what clearances the dotard signed for. But I know for sure if I did half of the shit the dotard did, sure as hell I wouldn’t be allowed to apply for such jobs.

Guess this is going to catch up with the dotard and probably us!

It is going to be a real dilemma for Orange Julius Caesar. He could get really angry and tell Ukraine they can do whatever they want as retaliation for Russia's comments, or he could just roll over on his flabby back like a dog and surrender, looking really weak to the world in the process.

My bet is on the latter.
