Resistance Dateline March 1-2, 2025 -- Trump will transform the U.S. into Russia. Here are the indicators
The signs are everywhere that urged on by Vladimir Putin, Donald (Krasnov) Trump is transforming the United States into a carbon copy of Russia. The ominous omens began to appear early on in radical U.S. foreign policy changes helped along by Russian intelligence government implants Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, JD Vance, and House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Even before Trump was re-selected by the Kremlin as president, the Moscow-loyal Republicans in Congress attempted to block President Biden's military and economic aid package for Ukraine. Then came the Musk- and Kremlin-engineered election and all of Putin's chess pieces began appearing in Trump's regime and down to but a very few, all of them have close links to either Moscow or Moscow-directed influence peddlers on social media. In fact, all the key Trump regime positions appear to have been dictated by the Kremlin. From the FBI, National Intelligence, and CIA directors to the Secretaries of Defense, Treasury, Health and Human Services, and Commerce, Trump's senior officials are either slavishly pro-Russia, totally incompetent, or both.
The U.S. vote against a pro-Ukraine resolution at the UN General Assembly, lining up alongside Russia, North Korea, and Belarus, was an early clue that the U.S. is now led by a Russian Occupation Government. Trump had also called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a "dictator" only later to deny he had ever said it. The White House trap laid by Trump, Vance, and their Russian overseers -- the Betrayal in the Oval -- came after several previous undisclosed phone calls between Trump and Putin, the latter an International Criminal Court-indicted fugitive from justice.
The world understood what Trump, Vance, and their sycophantic staffers had done in the Oval Office. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov called the Oval Office attack on his president "another Putin trap" which had "failed." Fedorov spoke for the Ukrainian government and people in describing Zelensky's "courage to call things by their proper names, and to defend our people's honor."
Trump had also echoed Russian propaganda points that Zelensky refused to hold elections, when, in fact, they are constitutionally barred while Ukraine is at war and martial law exists throughout the beleaguered nation. Another repetition of a Russian lie by Trump-Krasnov was when he said that Zelensky had only a 4 percent approval rating at home. In fact, it is around 57 percent. After the Betrayal in the Oval, Ukrainian Opposition MP Inna Sovsun said she was shocked by her president's treatment in the White House, saying, "Under no circumstances should we agree to calls for the President to resign, and I'm saying that as an Opposition MP. That defies the very idea of a democracy."
Just as was the case with the U.S. siding with Russia, North Korea, and Belarus for the General Assembly vote on Ukraine, Trump and his pathetic Russia proxy administration stood alone among the world's democracies. After the Betrayal in the Oval, words of support came from the world's democratic leaders, including those in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Other words of support for Ukraine and against Trump's actions came from the embattled claimant president of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili, German chancellor-designate Friedrich Merz, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Scottish National Party foreign affairs spokesman Stephen Gethins, and, perhaps most surprisingly given her past ties to Moscow, far-right French National Rally leader Marine Le Pen.
Only those in the Republican Party, the Moscow puppet fascist regimes in Hungary, Slovakia, and Georgia, and in the Kremlin -- which are all now joined together at the hip -- praised Trump's and Vance's attack on Zelensky. The Russian troll and bot farms excitedly increased the dissemination of Russia's propaganda drivel. There was little the U.S. could do to respond to the propaganda barrage since Musk had axed personnel and closed down government agencies in the Departments of Defense, Justice, and State that were established to deal with such malign information operations.
Zelensky had taken a very bug risk in flying to Washington, which, as far as Ukraine is concerned, is now Russian-occupied territory. Undoubtedly, his generals had informed him that U.S. military assistance to Ukraine had been halted. It is clear that Moscow's information warfare capabilities have been working overtime to convince NATO members in Europe that the Americans are pulling their military personnel, aircraft, ships, and equipment out of the European theater, leaving the nations to fend for themselves. It was easy for Moscow to make such a claim because Trump, during the last presidential campaign said that Russia could "do whatever they wanted" to NATO members.
Russian troll and bot farms sent on Musk's X; Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook, Threads, and Instagram; and Bluesky; TikTok; YouTube; Gettr; RT; RIA Novosti; and English, Greek, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese news websites the false report that the Trump regime was exiting the NATO base in Alexandroupoli, Greece due to a personal request from Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to close the facility. However, the Russian lie gained traction when the right-wing Greek newspaper Dimokratia ran a headline on the base closure. In fact, the base is a Greek base that the U.S. uses to transport military items to Europe, including Ukraine.
Trump was forced to admit the Greek base report was wrong during an Oval Office meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. But the damage was done and Russia proceeded to flood social media with other reports of U.S. base withdrawals in an attempt to frighten NATO in Europe. Russian disinformation entities began spreading reports that the Trump regime was considering acceding to a Russian request to pull NATO forces from all countries bordering Russia to include the Baltic nations and Poland. Other reports, perhaps false or not, suggested that Italy was contemplating the U.S. withdrawal of troops from the NATO contingent in Kosovo, leaving that nation vulnerable to an attack from Russia's ally Serbia. Russian propaganda mills also pumped out false information that Trump was considering pulling out of the large U.S./NATO base at Ramstein in Germany.
