Putin won.
He has accomplished his lifelong goal of weakening the United States of America. He didn’t need tanks, guns, or bombs. All he needed was a corrupt, weak, fickle vessel in the form of Donald Trump.
Journalist David Corn has spent ten years writing about Putin’s ongoing war with America, which includes a sophisticated disinformation campaign and infiltrating the Trump family and empire through money and business deals. Putin didn’t need to blackmail Trump or threaten him. No, no. Trump remains a willing patsy. He continues to echo pro-Russian talking points at the expense of US allies, including the EU, NATO, Canada, and Ukraine. Last year, he even laid out the red carpet for Putin’s arrival in Alaska. Recently, a Russian oligarch spent nearly $200K on Don Jr’s wedding, because that’s totally normal.
Unfortunately, the war is ongoing, according to Corn, with Russia amping up another wave of interference ahead of the 2026 and 2028 elections. Our establishment media and even the Democratic Party have taken their eye off the ball and moved on from the “Russia hoax*,*” which is an active and dangerous threat.
Corn joins me to discuss the threat he outlined in his latest book, How Russia Won: Trump, Putin, and the Fight for America.
