He talks and tweets at about the 5th grade level, and with this attack we see him continuing the governing he has done at the 5th grade level, showing the best part of his 5th grade level moral development. The 5th grade was probably the last time in his life when someone told him no. He has come to the scintillating moral revelation that it's wrong to drop nerve gas on children, and responded as a 5th grader with partial moral development would do- he blew up the airstrip from which the bombing occurred, after giving his friends a 90 minute head start to get out of the way.<br /> As for where's the Kompromat? Well, the Kompromat can only be used once, presumably- and would be used when the decision is made that it's more profitable to harm Trump than to keep him as your personal toady, with the world's most powerful government, economy, and military as his plaything. Trump has a long, long way to go in the realm of misbehaving 5th grader before he is disowned by Putin. Putin might even be glad to see his boy putting up a facade of independence, just to help keep Trump's political opponents at bay. If keeping such power under one's wing requires a little ruffle of the feathers, it's a minuscule price to pay.<br />Dirk VandePolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793293804372477858noreply@blogger.com
