I don’t know much about him, could you elaborate on why you think he will be a good pick to carry out the fbis mission?

Personally I liked the Rubio pick for Secretary of State but now that Trump has chosen to become Putins dog and Rubio is just lapping it up I guess it just reaffirms him as a boot licker which is a little disappointing.

If Trump doesn’t want give any U.S. money or help that’s up to him. He’s Putin’s little bitch and will do Vlad’s bidding. If Putin asks for American troops, to finish Ukraine off; Trump will obey his master.

As far as ending the war, that’s up to the parties involved and since Russia isn’t negotiating directly with Ukraine; the war will go on as long as Ukraine can fight back. That would only happen, if EU continues to arm them.

If not, eventually Russia will run over Ukraine and defeat them. When that happens, Zelenskyy will be caught and executed; maybe by Putin himself.

Since American dollars are no longer going to Ukraine’s war effort, the average American won’t give a damn.

Two weeks ago, Trump was praising Ukraine. Now he's blaming them for getting invaded by Russia and calling Zelenskyy a dictator. Its not THAT ridiculous.

Trump was baring his ass to Putin his first time around. Like when he said at a presser overseas that he'd believe Putin over our own intelligence agencies.

Hell, NY Times and other newspapers, and even Playboy, used to run regular stories back when Don was a "real estate magnate" with ties to organized crime ( famously stretching back to his dad's days) and Russian oligarchs back in the seventies and eighties, including him selling properties from upstate NY to Florida for multiples of their actual worth to Russian "businessmen" thus helping him stay solvent even after bankrupting several casinos and floundering in numerous other grifting enterprises.

He's likely been an investment for decades. They must have liked how he advanced Russian efforts to spread "birtherism" into the political arena.

Or on his first day in office in 2016, having the Russian ambassador and a Russian interpreter alone with him in the oval office without any other American officials or interpreter, as had been a fundamental national security practice in previous admins.

But he didn't ever get to exchange love letters with Putin like he did with Kim Jung Un, so maybe he still has hope he can be Vlad's "special friend" too 👹😃

Tulsi is hoping to follow in his footsteps.

Considering the CIA was busting spying on congress, when they're not even supposed to be operating in the US, and that the FBI submitted knowingly false evidence to a FISA court in an effort to bring down a sitting president, I wouldn't trust them either. I hope Grenell and Patel gut both agencies to the core.
