      I think people put it in those terms because it's easier as a meme, maybe?

      I put it in those terms bc I'm arguing there's a signaling going on.

      but "there's signaling going on" does not imply "putin has something to blackmail trump with"

      "A greater threat" is not necessarily blackmail, a la pee tape. My not ready to be voiced theories do not, in fact, involve blackmail. Tho attacks on his business and release of damning evidence might be included.

      it seems to me you've just described blackmail even while claiming it isn't blackmail

      Eh. I guess. I'm not thinking of it in terms of scandal. More leverage. But yeah. In any case, that's not my not ready to be voiced theory. Tho I do believe, if motivated, various Russian entities could do a tremendous amount of damage to Trump.

      And various Russian entities have already proven happy to release disinfo and partial disinfo that damaged Trump or those protecting him. I just think they've got real stuff they could use too.

      I also think Putin is using coded language he has used in the past, including but not limited to terrorism.

      i think you're touching on an important point wrt terrorism, although i assume our reads differ here, too.

          putin's outwardly "tough" stance on RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM is ONE REASON trump is so enamored with him.

          i think trump views putin / russia as essential in "solving" the terrorism problem, more essential than any other international tough guys, including the saudis or bibi.

          I think Trump believes Putin can be part of a "solution" in Syria, that doesn't so much involve ISIS as it involves stabilizing under Assad or closely linked RU client successor.

          i think you're overestimating trump's degree of comprehension of the situation by about 10.000 %.
