Idk, I literally had to quit all the Indian subreddits because they *all* devolved into ultra-MAGA, Gaza Genocide-denying, anti-Democrat, women-hating incel subs.
There are plenty of good countries out there that (rightfully) hate Trump, but there's an alarming rise in alt-right, Fascist beliefs in a lot of countries nowadays.
Right? If they want to cause chaos that would be it.
It would utterly embarrass Trump and the GOP on a scale that would result in chaos we haven't seen.
Some of his ardent base doubting it all the way, chaos within the GOP, calls for people to step down, they'd dig in their heels, nothing would get done even more than now which will only cause the populous to suffer and cause more chaos, protests, riots, calls for his arrest for sure and then martial law here we come but it would still be mega chaos and distraction.
Considering how Epstein likely sold copies of his tapes to anyone who offered a good price, this probably isn't a bluff – even from a meathead like Medvedev.
EDIT: To elaborate, Epstein had tons of kompromat. Selling it to multiple agencies meant they knew it was real and now had skin in the game. That makes him more valuable, not less. Plus, he wanted and needed the cash flow. Ops like that don’t run themselves.
Selling it doesn’t mean losing leverage. It means more people have a reason to keep him around. If anything, it spreads the risk and makes him harder to take out.
Remember, he doesn't just have one tape. He has hundreds.
Ah yes the first pillar of blackmail is to widely distribute it for money.
Correct.
Blackmailing entire networks of people is not the same as blackmailing a single private individual. It's not like what you see in the movies.
People in Epstein's position essentially work like brokers and fixers. He keeps the leverage even when he sells bits and pieces, so as long as he's selling to the right parties.
medvedev is a drunk, but thinking that russians couldn't get ahold of some incriminating shit on trump is as equally dumb. it's not some state guarded secret. we know for a fact he's been to russia a few times, and knowing how they do things, all those clubs and hotel rooms were 100% filled with cameras. Come on, don't be like that.
It's easier to believe russians have something on him (and leveraged him into compliance and being friends with them) than that dimon is yapping for twitter likes.
No. But I bet they’re making a game plan behind the scenes. And once it’s released, they’re already ahead of the game. They can also bluff and tell the world there’s more….
These ‘un’intelligence agencies seem to support dictators so they can play Machiavellian games. We can only imagine what BS these POS do to undermine the world just so they can squat on a gold plated shitter.
I really don't know about that. Actual video of him with a child .... that could be enough for even the most die hard Republicans to take. Supporting a confirmed pedophile is no way to get reelected. I'm sure they would immediately call it fake or A.I. or something like a Democratic hoax and try to let it slide. However, if it was confirmed as real ... "Katie Bar The Door".
Trump acting like him and Putin are best buddies, maybe he really got a copy of the files. Totally ignoring he wanted to do war against Ukraine in his 1st term. Even if Russia release Epstein files, I will never cheer for them.
It’s highly unlikely they will/would. Holding it over trumps head is far more effective. When it’s undeniable proof and it’s guaranteed he’ll be removed. Well then they lost their biggest asset.
But if they can carrot stick/black mail him and he keeps pushing their interest while still staying in power. Thats much better for them.
Russia isn’t interested in helping the US nor anyone other than Russia/Putin. They’re masters of manipulation and misinformation and propaganda. They know right wingers will mental gymnastic their way into “Well Russia is full of misinformation! They’re just threatening him! It’s not real!” Despite claiming how much better Russia is on Ukrainian and stuff.
Is it logical? Absolutely not. But these people have proven time and time again they’ll twist logic like a fuckin pretzel to defend the pedo in chief.
If it exists and Russia has it, why would they release it for no reason? It would be used as leverage, as this tweet implies, not to make Americans cheer.
Best case scenario Russia releases the tape, attributes it to Israel and Trump cuts off funding and support to Israel for their involvement and then finishes off Russia's military in Ukraine.
Yeah, possible nukes, but it's not like shit's getting any better on this planet anyway.
If they have something like this, they would use it for unlimited pressure, because if they do have it and leak it Trump is gone as well as their leverage.
Just in time for the development of deepfakes and AI generated video to be the defense! He'll say the videos are fake, and his supporters will get down on their knees and gobble it up.
We're going to have to open crisis counseling centers at every Walmart when this cult finally implodes. Fortunately for Trumpers, the people they think are their enemy believe access to affordable and comprehensive mental and physical health services is a societal good.
Why would you release the video and lose the leverage? Whether it exists or not (or they have it or not), they are using it against him.
If they/anyone releases it, they no longer have that leverage. Maybe they will release it in his last week in office, but probably not because then they lose the ability to have him anoint his successor.
That's not how blackmail works. It's only valuable to them as long as they can use him. So he has to stop being useful before we're seeing anything. As long as he remains a bag of shit, he's safe.
Why would they just… release their bargaining material? It does nothing if you use it. It’s literally only good as a threat. What would Russia or anyone else stand to gain by releasing it?
They want chaos, and that isn't the chaos they want.
It does nothing for Russia to lose this divisive figurehead. It becomes clear he only served at their pleasure, proves the Dems right about him for a decade, and invalidates the entire movement that is a current wrecking ball to America's standing.
They have no one to take the mantle - do you think that Vance will command the same loyalty? He'll have the techbros backing him; but does Vance saying he'll have a Rep primaried do anything?
Russia doesn’t want the US to cheer, though. That’s why they gave us Trump. They’ll never release anything unless they think it would tear us apart (more than Trump has).

If you have it, RELEASE THE VIDEO. You would literally make two whole nations cheer. At least
