Putin's loyalty test.

[Eyeball_Kid]

Placing a bounty on US soldiers' heads, and killing 20 of our military personnel, won't win any world war for Putin. Putin knows that, as valuable as human life might be for US citizens who want protection for our armed forces, bounty murders are small potatoes. So why did Putin make this arrangement? Here's a very likely answer:

Putin did this not only to embarrass Trump, but to demand Trump's loyalty. This was a test for Trump. If Trump is with Russia and Putin, he'll say and do NOTHING about the murders. This PROVES Trump's loyalty to Putin. Trump was forced to choose. And not only did he choose loyalty to Putin, but he also INVITED Putin to the G7 conference. He doubled-down on a show of loyalty to Putin.

For those of you who may not recognize this tactic, it's typical of mob bosses to keep their underlings in the fold by making sure that they don't desert their boss. In this instance, Putin put Trump to the test. Will Trump be loyal to his country, or will he be loyal to Putin?

Trump answered the call: loyalty to Putin is more important than loyalty to the Constitution. Putin dared Trump to desert him, and Trump wouldn't do it.

This is PROOF that Trump is loyal to Putin, and that Trump is Putin's subordinate.

1. Thank you!

So many are missing the point by repeatedly stating that Dump didn't do anything about the Russian bounty story. HE DID WORSE THAN NOTHING! He, yet again, sided with Putin over America.

2. Why aren't we hearing outrage from retired military brass?

3. It is just like the mafia.

5. Mafia bosses would send Trump on a hit job to kill his uncle...

to prove his loyalty.

If Trump kills his uncle, he passes the test and is a loyal member of the team.

Putin did the same with Trump. Now Trump is a loyal partner with Putin.

It doesn't mean that Putin will protect Trump from harm. Loyalty may not go both ways. Trump should be well aware of the fickleness of mob bosses.

Besides, in Trumpass’ mind, what’s a few lives between friends
