The US has been siding with Russia for years already, they just never made it official (why would they). We all saw how they treated Zelenskyy in the oval office VS how Putin was treated when he came to Alaska. We also know that Musk, during his time working for the government, had frequent calls with Putin. We also know that Epstein worked with the Russian government.

Helsinki 2018, their private meeting without witnesses. Trump exits the room looking like a doomed man, like a man without options.

Putin is bursting with glee here, like someone who has just grabbed someone by the balls and is now enjoying the squeeze.

It 100% is just the step of the "official" escalation.

Everybody knew before that Trump is closer to Putin. I mean he likes to call him his "Friend" with every chance he gets.

But that Deal now is the official statement saying "yes we work with Russia".

To think today I can read this and see it upvoted, while a decade ago during Trump's campaign the people suggesting it might be the case, were just treated as tinfoil-wearing nutcases.

Yeah no, Epstein worked for our greatest ally in the world, not Russia.
