'It seems like it might be blackmail': Woodward on speculation about Trump and Putin's relationship

[@arhondasmith2490]

Its crazy that back in the day,when there were only newspapers and three nighty news shows people were more informed

[@Gwen3344]

@arhondasmith2490 So true. Now, it's punditry and propagand 24/7. There's very little hard news, even less investigative reporting. The tough journalists insisting on facts have gone the way of the dinosaur. We're left with cowardly, mealy-mouthed, overpaid corporate tools sitting behind desks facilitating lies, protecting their jobs. Journalism's First Amendment-protected responsibility to hold the powerful accountable to the people has been sacrificed to ratings, the bottom line, and the short attention spans of Americans who mostly just want to be entertained or validated. The people have abandoned their civic duty to be informed by truth to their grievances and conspiracy theories. Worst, most don't even consider it their responsibility to be informed. Combine all of these factors, failings really, gets us to the tragic state we now find ourselves. A nation bloated on the myth of its exceptionalism is now face to face with it's utter mediocrity; it's fall into darkness unrecognized, even caused by and now blindly celebrated by millions among us a triumph. None is so blind as those with eyes who cannot see, but the operative phrase in that adage is *with eyes*. The nation has poked out it's own eyes -- individually and institutionally.

[@Katnea3]

What you said is true. However, when Putin started his war of aggression against Ukraine, Putin is now in dire need of money. The Russian people are suffering because all the money is going to the war that Putin is slowly losing. The interest rate in Russia is up to 21% and Putin doesn't have the money to feed his people. Putin also doesn't have enough manpower to keep his country running smoothly because they've either been conscripted or they left the country when the war started. The price of oil is at a low and so there isn't much demand for Russia's cheap oil. The sanctions are also working as well! It is the Russian people who are feeling it deeply. And on top of all that, the Ukrainians have seriously damaged a few of Putin's oil refineries and have even taken out a huge vodka factory as well. Needless to say, the Russian people are not happy with Putin. But what's really incredible, is that Putin allowed his top spokesperson to say he helped Trump win the 2024 election on Russian State TV! Putin's message to Trump was that he better pay his debt to him quickly because I have lots of dirt on you! Then Putin reinforced his threat to Trump by airing nude pictures of Melania on Russian State TV as well! Putin knows that if he loses the war to Ukraine, he will be...removed. It's clear that dictators don't play when money is owed to them and their life is at risk. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up!
