Just because they say that’s how it happened, doesn’t mean it’s true. But personally I do think it’s true, and it’s pretty interesting that they are saying it.

    I don’t know, man. It’s from November, and it’s TASS, a propaganda source, and I don’t even see them saying they’re talking about Russia as the “forces that brought him to power.”

    Jeez, they sure love Trump, though.

    During the election campaign Trump mentioned his peace-oriented, pragmatic intentions, including in relations with Russia.

    Gosh, I must’ve missed that.

      You tell me, I missed somehow that it was November which makes it a little non relevant yes.

      Obviously TASS is open propaganda, but to me it was noteworthy that they were saying that they put Trump in office and he owed them. But, maybe it is not noteworthy that they were saying that back three months ago.

      I’ll plan to delete the post I think if you feel it does not belong.

        I ain’t asking you to delete it. It’s amusing, interesting, and outrageous. Might be the first time I’ve read TASS.

        But I don’t see them saying Russkies brought Donald Trump to power. “Donald Trump will rely on the commitments to the forces that brought him to power,” but they’re weaselly about what forces they’re talking about.
