This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Trump is friendly to Putin because Putin says nice things about Trump. Putin says nice things about Trump because Trump is vain and highly susceptible to flattery. (Look how easy it was for elon to brown nose himself into being trump's left hand.)

Trump is impressed by Putin's use of violence and his resolve. Trump would be afraid of Putin if he yelled and made threats. Trump should be scared but because Putin smiles and says flattering things he isn't. Trump thinks he is getting respect from a dangerous person and he thinks that means he must be a dangerous person too.

Putin makes trump feel like a "big man."

Trump hates zelenski because he's a fraud. He acts all tough, talking in his growly voice like he's batman, wearing millitary slacks and looking scrufy but then all he does is beg for help and money. When he isn't begging he's complaining that the help he got isn't enough and it is everyone else's fault.

Zelenski is a grifter. Trump hates that because inside he knows he is a grifter too. Trump isn't the big deal businessman. the savvy politician or the billionaire land tycoon he pretends to be, he's a 78 year old playboy failson who never made anything on his own. And everywhere he looks he is seeing that America is a grift too. He wanted to "Make it Great Again" but the more he looks the more he sees its just layers of kick backs and pay offs papered over and held together with string. Zelenski just reminds him of all that.
