We need to take autocrats at their word. Hitler told everyone exactly what he planned in 1925 in his book, Mein Kampf. Putin has made clear his desire to restore “Mother Russia,” meaning occupying Ukraine and then invading the Baltics, Finland, Poland, and the Baltics. Trump has admitted inviting Putin to invade our NATO allies. Now he has instructed his lackey, Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, to block aid to Ukraine.
No one knows precisely the hold Putin has over Trump, but Johnson is working for Trump and Trump is working for Putin. Let there be no mistake. This constitutes treason. If Trump regains power, he will not just seek revenge (“I am your retribution.”) against his political opponents, eviscerate the Justice Department, quash/ignore his 91 criminal indictments, and institute, what he clearly wants — a dictatorship. He will also do Putin’s bidding and withdraw from NATO.
Think this is an overstatement? Read Mein Kampf.
It’s time for Nikki Haley, who may be the only hope to save our country, to make clear that Trump is a seven-letter word — Traitor — and that anyone who votes for Trump is betraying our country. She needs to make a major address quoting directly from Trump’s speeches, pointing out his insistence that Presidents are immune from prosecution for criminal acts, pointing out his indictments for conspiring to overturn the 2020 Presidential election, pointing out his indictments for what constitutes theft of state secrets, and the list goes on.
In short, it’s time to make clear to each and every Trump supporter that they are supporting a traitor and that a vote for Trump is a vote for Putin and, if history is our guide, World War III.

P.S., CNN’s headline — on Feb. 26th, the day after I posted this, is from President Zelensky: ‘It’s Unbelievable’ that Trump is on Putin’s Side.
Sylvester, Pls don't worry about upgrading. If you email me your email address (mine is kotlikoff@gmail.com) I'll give you and anyone else a free lifetime subscription. I take it you are ok with ending support of Ukraine and leaving NATO? That's not derangement. That's Trump's real-time policy. best, Larry
Hi Michael,
We're all Americans here. We "bullshitters" take Trump at his word. You don't. Jan 6th isn't bullshit, nor is blocking aid to Ukraine, nor is violating the espionage act, not is ... . Are all these things ok in your mind?
