Do you think Trump is pro-Putin? If so, is it solely because of his knowledge of Generational Dynamics? Putin is just a common thief and 3rd rate gangster. Putin's hypocrisy and duplicity is well known to the West; how can Trump read intelligence reports and not see this?

That's not cynical at all. That's reality. There are several
Holocausts going on today, and nobody cares. Actually, nobody cared
about the Nazi-Jew Holocaust while it was going on. To care about a
Holocaust while it's actually going on is too politically painful,
because the politicians, the trolls, the defenders, the acolytes, the
deniers, the cheerleaders, the propagandists, and the collaborators
all benefit from the Holocaust, and will protect it. It's only after
it's over that nobody stands to benefit, and then the wise men can
stand up and say, "Never Again!"

** 26-Dec-2019 World View: Semi-free countries

> A guest from Asia from a semi-free country

Thanks for the compliment.

There are a number of prominent Asian countries -- China, Cambodia,
Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea,
and many, many others.

Without revealing what country you're from, how would you rate these
countries as being free, semi-free, or not-free?

That question doesn't even make sense. What does pro-Putin even mean?
What does anti-Putin mean?

If you're anti-Putin, does that mean you have to declare war on Russia?
Does it mean you have to cut diplomatic relations?

Trump is not pro-Putin, is not pro-Xi, is not pro-Kim. He has a
relationship with all these dictators in order to get the best deal
for the United States. The "Art of the Deal" requires that, in order
to get the best deal for yourself, you have to respect the position
and needs of the person you're negotiating with, and that's what Trump
is doing.
