Are we just forgetting that hegseth brought Elon into a war meeting about China and …now Russia is trying to cozy up to him?
Putin and Xi must be so god damn pleased that the US decided to just jump off a cliff.
I don't know about China but Russia had a considerable part to play in Trump taking power twice. This isn't a coincidence; this is the result of a frankly brilliant long-term play on their part (which doesn't make it any less evil).
Please leave.
After he got full access to government and citizen info? I think not. If we throw him onto an uninhabited island in the middle of the ocean, preferably closer to Antarctica than South America? Absolutely.
Or maybe Mars.
Without a space suit
Strap him to a rocket, guy loves rockets.
At least set him up in another Tesla and send that out od the solar system
We can make his every dream come true and make him the first person on Mars.
One way trip, though. Everybody wins.
Eh why not? Bonus you get personal and federal data on all the us citizens. Thanks trump!
There's that weird but common enough perception of Russia among the dumber kind of Americans, that it's some land of tough people of ideology similar to that dumb kind and what not. At the same time all such idiots who tried to really move to Russia were scammed of their money and ran home. And apparently similar attempts by Boers didn't have different results.
Even the Star Wars picture of Mandalorians in the newer media sometimes borrowed from that stereotype and not from the initial references to Maori and western movies.
What I personally don't understand is why'd you consider losers tough.
It has something common with cowardice, maybe - cowards consider places with lots of slave-master dynamic to have tougher people, because they don't understand what "tough" even is.
So - Elon, don't (I think Kadyrov did threaten to rape him in the past, so probably he understands that himself).
Edward Snowden got asylum there, if you have value and fame they'll treat you a lot better
I just wonder if he knows how thin is the rope he's walking since then. Or if he realizes that asylum in Russia is not very different from asylum in China or in Thailand or in Emirates or Saudia or ... Point being, that despite all the European-looking people around, nobody will hear him cry if at some point somebody important decides to silence him just in case.
Or maybe he knows and feels just fine having joined the privileged caste here. Those people who generally don't live in Russia at all, just visit it from time to time. I guess it'd be hard to blame him anyway, looking at Assange, who've spend a kinda big part of his life in the same small space slowly losing his mind.
I don't think he likes being there, but probably does feel safer there then in a western country or a state allied to US.
