Putin is clearing house. With one loose end taking a dive (thrown?) off the fourth floor and another shot to death in broad daylight, how long before Paul Manafort ..... (I am not advocating anything happen to Paul Manafort ... just gauging the possibilities)

Remember, either we have patriots in the GOP or Putin takes over completely.
That we know they are all guilty of espionage or treason, means nothing.
THEY are in charge.

(56,829 posts)if it comes out in the coming months that Trump colluded directly with Putin and Trump gets impeached, the entire electoral process here in the US will be questionable for the foreseeable future. Are we going to get into a full war with tanks, bombs, planes, etc with Russia over it? Probably not? If we tighten sanctions in turn, he uses the US as a scapegoat back home for the people starving and the Russian economy tanking...

(12,676 posts)It doesn't matter what happens here. Putin succeeded in both destroying the credibility of the U.S. abroad, and the ability for the U.S. to respond to anything that happens outside its borders. The leadership he helped put in place makes money off Russia's successes, so Drumpf's Russia allies are nice to have around, but he wouldn't care if they ended up in jail, because for at least the near future, the U.S. can't do anything to Russia.
But... Manafort, Stone, Page, Miller, et all are liabilities to Putin if any of them return to Russia or to any of the satellite countries Russia is focusing on. Tillerman, too - if he's not going over there on State Department business. Expect them to be disappeared or suddenly take ill should they go anywhere near Eastern Europe.
