The Great Russian Danger Looming Behind Donald Trump’s Apology For America

Last updated on July 17th, 2023 at 09:21 pm

Donald Trump apologized for America in a Serbian magazine, saying it was a mistake to bomb Serbia during Bill Clinton’s presidency.

Damien Sharkov writing in Newsweek reported:

“The bombing of Serbs, who were our allies in both world wars, was a big mistake,” Trump told the Serbian weekly magazine Nedeljnik for an article published on its website Thursday. “Serbians are very good people. Unfortunately, the Clinton administration caused them a lot of harm, but also throughout the Balkans, which they made a mess out of.”

A Reuters advanced copy of a report released on Thursday shows “Moscow had co-opted sympathetic politicians, strived to dominate energy markets and other economic sectors, and undermined anti-corruption measures in an attempt to gain sway over governments in Bulgaria, Hungary, Latvia, Serbia, and Slovakia.”

According to a U.S. official who requested anonymity, Moscow is engaged in activities designed to “recapture what Putin considers their rightful buffer in Eastern Europe, and to undermine not just NATO and the EU, but the entire democratic foundation of both institutions.”

“Those activities, he said, include bribery, propaganda, disinformation, ‘the occasional’ assassination of Kremlin critics at home or abroad, and now using the internet to undermine opponents and weaken Western institutions.”

Just Friday the U.S. formally accused Russia of hacking the DNC emails.

Trump adviser Roger Stone admitted to “back-channel” tie to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

“I do have a back-channel communication with Assange, because we have a good mutual friend. That friend travels back and forth from the United States to London and we talk. I had dinner with him last Monday,” Stone told CBS4 News Wednesday evening.

Stone bragged days before the hacked emails were released that Podesta would soon be in trouble, yet Stone claims Wikileaks didn’t give him advance copies of the emails.

To demonstrate the extent to which Moscow will go to help Donald Trump, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said of the Republican presidential nominee’s brag about sexual assault, “(T)here are so many ‘pussies’ around presidential campaign on both sides that I prefer not to comment.

So when Donald Trump is busted bragging about sexual assault, Lavrov essentially calls Clinton a “p*ssy.”

It’s already been abundantly clear to anyone with a shred of decency that Donald Trump is not fit to be the president of the United States. He is also working with or for the Russian government to dismantle democracy or being used by them for the same purpose.

The best case scenario is that Donald Trump is so ignorant and egotistical that he doesn’t know what he’s doing and he’s simply being used. But that doesn’t make him any less dangerous.

Donald Trump apologized for America to Moscow, something Republicans constantly wrongly accuse President Obama of doing. Trump’s apology is a Kremlin play.
