Ex-GOP congressman says "something sinister" is going on between Trump and Putin - 2Paragraphs via MSNAs seen below, Kinzinger said: Trump, after having a 90 min phone call with Putin, puts out a truth social that he is considering withdrawing all troops from Germany. Something sinister is going on between them.
[NOTE: The Trump administration has reportedly been considering inviting Putin to the G20 Conference in December, which is scheduled to be held near Miami at Trump National Doral. Russia is a G20 member but has not participated fully in a G20 conference since 2019, when COVID-19 hindered participation, and did not return after its 2022 invasion of Ukraine which led the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Putin over alleged war crimes.]

(98,184 posts)I find it doubtful he has the manpower to wage another full-scale war along with Ukraine. I read the other day he is trying to recruit people from other countries to continue the war in Ukraine. They, the 'superpower' has been beaten pretty badly.
Then again, maybe they are planning to take over the world together!

Born on 7 October 1952, President of the Russian Federation.
Accused LastName
Vladimirovich Putin
Accused FirstName
Vladimir
Charges
Allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation (under articles 8(2)(a)(vii) and 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute). The crimes were allegedly committed in Ukrainian occupied territory at least from 24 February 2022. There are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Putin bears individual criminal responsibility for the aforementioned crimes, (i) for having committed the acts directly, jointly with others and/or through others (article 25(3)(a) of the Rome Statute), and (ii) for his failure to exercise control properly over civilian and military subordinates who committed the acts, or allowed for their commission, and who were under his effective authority and control, pursuant to superior responsibility (article 28(b) of the Rome Statute).

(21 posts)...IMHO I believe they are all in a fever dream fantasy to create a new world order and split the planet into three "technates".
Trump gets the Americas, Putin gets all of Europe and Africa, and Xi gets all of the Far East and Australia.
Xi is watching as things devolve, and looking for opportunities. Putin can barely keep Russia intact except by force; not sure how he would even manage Europe. His economic programs are failures, and it is truly a third-world country (with nukes). And then there's Trump, with his painfully low IQ, 5th grade vocabulary, ignorant, easily controlled, but clever (like a mob boss), with malignant narcissism and dementia, who thinks he can rule all of the Americas. All three of these guys are in their 70s. As a worldwide "crew", we need to resist these sinister attempts for world domination for another ten years or so, until they all exit, and make sure that the next generation saves our sinking ship!

(1,821 posts)Since a President is immune for official acts, and National Security most definitely falls under official acts, seizing Trump family assets would be perfectly legal.
Hell, it's probably even justified.
