How to Avoid Communications Duplication between Russia and the United States
If the anonymous kids in the Department of Government Efficiency have run out of new ways to eliminate American’s food, air and health safety cut costs, they should look no further than the communications office of president and wannabe king Trump.
I would recommend firing whomever writes speeches and lies, misinformation and ad hominem attacks statements for the King of Small Hands and, instead, employ Vladimir Putin’s Presidential Press Secretary, the talented wordsmith Dmitry Peskov. No matter that Peskov is blacklisted from the European Union, sanctioned in the United States and Canada, and that his vast ill-gotten gains assets have been frozen. According to “Russian Asset Tracker,” Peskov’s relatives have also been sanctioned for, “luxurious lifestyles that are incongruous with Peskov’s civil servant salary and are likely built on the ill-gotten wealth of Peskov’s connections to Putin.”
Given our current Oval Office seat warmer’s rap sheet(s), Peskov’s corrupt bona fides and street cred are the ideal attributes this administration needs. Elon, may I suggest waiving the new employee probationary period for Comrade Peskov?
Let’s face it: Vlad and convicted felon Trump basically bleat out the same bullet points regarding the illegal and brutal Russian invasion war in Ukraine and foreign policy in general. By eliminating the staff on the Washington side of this fun-house mirror equation, and acknowledging that Ivana’s former husband pays scant attention anyway to the talking points that his lackeys and potlickers communications staff prepare, we taxpayers could see immediate savings. (Eggs, however, are a different story.)
Tortoise Media flagged several examples of copycat communications between Stormy Daniels’ former john, and that of Little Vlad, the puppet master mentor of Tulsi Gabbards, United States Director of National Intelligence. (This appointment should go well.)
••
Trump: "[Ukraine] should have never started [the war].”
Putin: "It was they [Ukraine] who started the war in 2014. Our goal is to stop this war. And we did not start this war in 2022," (Interview with Tucker Carlson, February 2024).
••
Trump: “A Dictator without Elections, Zelensky better move fast or he is not going to have a Country [sic x 3] left.”
Putin: “You can negotiate with anyone, but because of his illegitimacy, [Zelensky] has no right to sign anything.” (Interview with Rossiya 1 state TV, January 2025).

Tortoise also flagged this bit of misinformation:
Trump: “Russia does not intend to destroy Kyiv. If they had wanted to, they would have done it. Russia is capable of wiping out Ukrainian cities 100 per cent, including Kyiv, but right now, they are only attacking at 20 per cent.”
Facts: “Since February 2022 Russia has fired about 10,000 missiles at Ukrainian targets, including ballistic and hypersonic weapons. It has launched more than 15,000 drones and destroyed hundreds of schools, libraries, hospitals and power plants.”
Oh, those pesky facts.

The father of Barron Trump is a constant critic of the North American Treaty Organization (NATO), despite its vital contribution to 80 years of relative peace in Europe. He has threatened to withdraw from NATO if the other countries do not increase their defense budgets. This threat is music to the Kremlin.
"[Trump] He is the first, and so far, in my opinion, the only Western leader who has publicly and loudly said that one of the root causes of the Ukrainian situation was the impudent line of the previous administration to draw Ukraine into NATO," said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
"No Western leaders had ever said that, but he had said it several times. This is already a signal that he understands our position…."
Bonus quote: “In order to achieve their own goals, the leading NATO countries support extreme nationalists and neo-Nazis in Ukraine,” Putin said.
Oh, and they probably support DEI initiatives and even defend the rights of (gasp!) LGBTI persons, too.
Each day the long-held ideological differences between the United States and Russia dissolve into uncomfortable commonalities where one has to dig deep in the algorithms of omnipresent Google to distinguish just who is speaking.
Good thing that Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels is rotting in Hell, or he might be next in line for an advisory role in the White House. Yet, when the narrowly elected president said that migrants are “poisoning the blood” of the United States, one only has to turn to Mein Kampf, where Hitler wrote, “All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning.”
Ah, poisoning, now there’s a subject Putin knows all too well. Given how our leader of the (somewhat) free world parrots the Russia president’s viewpoints, one can only assume that he must be taking notes.
