I wasn’t fully convinced before that Putin has Trump in his pocket, but after that stunt, I am convinced that he is under Putin’s thumb. Trump and co. could have had marching orders from Putin to do exactly that. Also, this is something that Putin have done and would do, publicly humiliating someone on live TV.
It isn’t a compliment. Sorry I made a typo. Strongman is what they are, authoritarians who exert will through military means and believe themselves to be populist. Each are are the opposite of a strong man.
Yeah, I figured it was a typo, but even the term strongman is far too romantized a term, they are just facist fucks and an insult to the word strong.
