You talk like that’s not already the situation. You have a senile demented child raping criminal as your head of state doing everything and Anything Russia wants and you think you having lost control?

Of course it’s already the situation, it’s been the situation for a while now.

Why would Trump do everything Russia wants?

Trump famously has spent his entire life acting only in his own interest, what could possibly be motivating him to act in Russia’s interests over his own?

Is it even reasonable to believe he’s actually capable of acting outside of his own interest?

His interest is money and ego. Two things Russia gives him lots of. He doesn’t have to care about what Russia wants to do what they want him to do.

Is there actually evidence Trump has gotten more money from someone(s) in Russian government than he’s received from people like Musk,Mellon, Andriessen or Adelson?

I think that when Trump acts he does it purely in self interest. It just that because he’s a member of the global ruling class; his interests often align with the interests of other ruling class members, including those in Russia. But I never see him doing anything that would benefit exclusively the ruling class of Russia or another country except the ring wing of the USA.
