It is not the abject, obsequious followership expressed by the former occupant of the White House that is most dangerous; it is that fully one-third of Americans witness this lick-spittle kissing Putin’s ass, yet somehow still imagine him to be a leader.
If Churchill, Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy had possessed the strength of our Putin protégé, the Iron curtain would have ended up somewhere in the Atlantic.
Trump’s hold on his cult is strong; if he endorses this invasion, the members of that cult will just drag their knuckles and nod affirmatively. And Putin’s hold on Trump is strong; as long as Trump toes the line, Putin’s oligarchs won’t call in those hundreds of millions of dollars of bad loans - and may even help him assume office again.
