Wackydoodle sez: His tie is is a lot longer!
As the cartoon suggests 'Merica has precious little credibility left in the world but for its bloated military establishment whose usual modus is to attempt diplomacy by other means.(Korea, Vietnam, Serbia, Libya, Iraq) It is only a matter of time before the rest of the world's nations are forced to to take action against US in self-defense.
More: This week in the Russian Connection investigation, we learned that Vicktor Vekselberg, a Russian oligarch worth roughly $13 billion, made payments of $500,000 through his company Renova, which has ties to an American company, Columbus Nova, between January and August 2017. The money made its way to a shell company controlled by former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, Essential Consultants LLC, who paid porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about sex with candidate Trump.
Nobody stays rich in Russia without maintaining cordial relations with President Putin. Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a former oil baron and one of the richest men in the world, spent ten years in jail and lost most of his assets for posing a challenge to the man in the Kremlin. Vekselberg has done his due diligence. He spent $900 million to bring back to Russia jeweled Fabergé Easter eggs, and allowed the government to put them on display. Bringing Russian art home is a particular passion of the nationalist President. But whether Vekselberg's payments represent hard evidence of a direct link between Putin and Trump's campaign is yet to be demonstrated. What it does show is there are potential Russian agents provocateur with links through Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort to buy influence over an American presidential candidate, or worse, to launder illegal money through US companies controlled by Mr Yuge.
