Journalist Craig Unger asserts that former U.S. President Donald Trump is a Russian asset, citing evidence spanning decades. Unger points to Trump’s early business dealings with KGB-linked entities, his 1987 Moscow trip, and subsequent actions undermining Western alliances as key indicators. These actions, Unger argues, demonstrate a pattern of behavior consistent with a long-term cultivation of Trump as a Russian asset, beginning in the 1980s. He dismisses claims of conspiracy, highlighting verifiable evidence detailed in his two books. Unger’s conviction stems from a confluence of these factors, culminating in Trump’s actions damaging U.S. intelligence relationships and alliances.

This isn’t a sudden decision; it feels like a pre-ordained conclusion, a culmination of a deliberate strategy unfolding since the inauguration. The rushed efforts by the Biden administration and NATO to provide Ukraine with funding and weaponry before the inauguration strongly suggest a widespread awareness of this impending outcome.

While Trump dropped his prior “dictator” label for Zelensky, the overall tone and the subsequent consideration of halting aid paint a different picture.… Continue reading
