    Why Is Trump Spouting Russian Propaganda? The president’s endorsement of the U.S.S.R.’s invasion of Afghanistan echoes a narrative promoted by Vladimir Putin. by @davidfrumhttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/01/trump-just-endorsed-ussrs-invasion-afghanistan/579361/ …

        Because he’s the Russian agent promoting Kremlin propaganda.

        What are the odds that Trump, who thinks the capital of NY is NYC, has the independent knowledge to even *have* an opinion on the Soviet invasion 40 years ago? Not to mention that his opinion is an exact mirror of Kremlin propaganda...

        The Moscow Candidate was hardly a fake sobriquet, as Trump keeps proving over and over again. A Putin tool to the core.

        I'm wondering if this has anything to do with his insistence on keeping his personal cell phone that "has all his contacts on it." Wouldn't it be really interesting to see who he's been talking to in the 24 hours before he comes out with this kind of thing?

        In that very entertaining film 'Charlie Wilson's' war, Republicans were driving the Russians out of Afghanistan. With dire consequences. @realDonaldTrump does not seem to know his nation's history. Are we surprised?

        Clearly Trump lacks the perspicacity to differentiate between Good Terrorists and Bad Terrorists, a capacity which only you #neocons possess, which is why only you are qualified to categorize who the good terrorists are in #Syria. The ones there are so good we give them Oscars.

        Because Trump’s a Russian Mole that has been activated to do Putin’s bidding to weaken America & strengthening Russia 🇷🇺. It’s that simple.

        Am I the only person who thinks trump's spewing russian propoganda indicates that he's been conspiring with his bff, putin. An American citizen has been arrested and putin may want his spy back who is cooperating with Robert Mueller. Coincidence, I think not.
