(24,505 posts)Talking US policy in Central Europe with his donor's? Not NSC, Not State...just a bunch of donor's and fixer's and bagmen.
Why is Trump so interested in Ukraine anyway? Because Putin wants him to stand the US down with Ukraine and the EU to further his agenda. Trump is owned by the Putin Russian investors that bailed his failing ass. They are expecting payment now.

(32,626 posts)what is on the tape. If someone wanted the U.S. to stop supplying aid to Ukraine, and they surrounded the American President with people who can out-con the con, how would they do it? Could be it's not about the Ambassador or about Biden, but just clear sailing for Putin. Trump wouldn't need to know, at all.

(24,505 posts)Lev is still working for the Putin team? Supplying damning video's now that he knows will spread chaos and division in the US? Putin doesn't give a shit about Trump, but he most certainly has an interest in seeing the US divide into warring factions.
