There is literally no need for compromat on Trump at this point. Between Stormy Daniels and Epstein and being convicted of felonies, the compramat can’t actually do anything. It’s unlikely that there IS any compramat. It’s much more likely that, as a NYC real estate mogul, Trump has extensive business dealings with the Russian mob and the top Russian billionaires.
I mean, it’s not like nudes of Melania are hard to find, you can just google them, she posed nude for a magazine that was published it’s not like they robbed her safety deposit box or whatever.

Idk, he’s already had one presidency (yes, but what about second presidency? Lol sorry) so I mean any компромат they may have would already be known by trump most likely, and of course they’ll use it, that’s the whole point of компромат. To me it seems more like they just wanted to say “america bad” to their populace, which also does have some implications about US/RU relations, (namely, that they’re about to tell us to stuff our own assholes on the ukraine “peace” shit trump has been “calling” about).
The US president-elect advised the Russian president not to escalate the war in Ukraine and reminded him of “Washington’s sizeable military presence in Europe”, the Post reported.
It added that Trump expressed interest in follow-up conversations on “the resolution of Ukraine’s war soon”.
This is so weird, almost worded like he just discovered/barely grasps the war in Ukraine.
“We have a big military in Europe. Huge.”
Putin nods. “Ah. I didn’t know that.”
His grudge against Zelensky though… there’s no way he forgot that.
shyeeah. right.
…lap dog’s going to do whatever his handler commands…
So true my fren. And I think we underestimate Putin’s influence. He’s been controlling Biden too, from the shadows. The only difference is they’re friends. See below, where I’ve placed an image of Biden and Putin smiling and shaking hands, something only friends do.
Who is reporting what Trump said?
I would guess Trump probably said that, followed by asking for a price for Intel on the militarized resources.
Reminds me of the leaks of when Biden wanted to sound tough on Netanyahu. Trump just wants to sound tough on Putin for a bit.
Is there an equivalent to r/lostredditors? Because you are talking about something completely different. Guess some regular Reddit bots are moving to Lemmy.
Maybe I misinterpreted your comment, but I thought you were saying that Trump basically purposefully leaked the comments to sound tough on Putin, but wasn’t actually planning on following through at all, and instead was planning on actually helping Putin instead but purposefully didn’t leak that part. I compared it to a similar recent situation in the news.
That would really suck if he would escalate the war.
