America is like 100x more powerful than Russia, so it's really fucking weird that an ex-president is beholden to Putin.

It's money and blackmail for sure.

Sure it's weird.

His vp pick fucks couches. I'd say it's on brand.

The whole thing is fucking weird.

But what's weird and what governs the future lives to be lost are separate issues entirely.

If it's weird and beholden to Putin, idk what else there is to say.

My gut says that Putin has some very embarrassing dirt on Trump.

Edit: is/says

Putin masturbates over the thought of destroying the US. He can't do it militarily so he does that by sowing division, spreading false narratives, putting Americans against Americans and ultimately having a US president who is his lapdog

That doesn't explain why a former president is his lapdog. Putin has his motivations which are obvious. Trump's motivation beyond being a greedy, selfish, morally devoid asshole are not so clear.

Well a motivation could be his narcissism (among other reasons)
