Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename 'Krasnov' Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/25925641

A former senior Soviet KGB spy chief has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence as early as 38 years ago by his department, and given the codename ‘Krasnov’.

In an extraordinary post on Facebook on 20 February, Alnur Mussayev – who used to run the successor to the Soviet-era KGB in Kazakhstan – claimed that he was personally aware of Trump’s recruitment by the agency in 1987.

The recruitment, he said, was undertaken by his own KGB department. One of the key roles of that department was to acquire intelligence through business leaders in Western countries.

  • It was made obvious right from the beginning when his first change to the Republican Party platform, before he had even accepted the nomination the first time, was to the language in support of Ukraine.

    Why? How does it make any sense?

  • this continues to be the stupidest weakass lazy shit, donald trump isn't compromised, donald trump was born a nyc construction scion raised in kkk & mafia who appreciated strongmen and fascists, and sees democracy as weak and useless. there is no kompromat gotcha. he does it all because there's no one to stop him. that's it. this was always the fight.

    • There's certainly plenty of evidence which could point to kompromat. Even if he's not compromised they clearly have some sort of "arrangement." But, again, that's mind numbingly obvious to anyone with their head not lodged in their ass.

      • this got no traction during his first campaign, his first administration, after he left office, his second campaign, but i'm sure now having bitten that same bullshit apple a million times, this wildly incidiery clutches pearls "quelle surprise!" revelations, litteraly everyone on the planet has heard a half bajillion fucking times before is going to move the needle. it does'nt, and it won't. because it's not true. nothing in trumps actions can be explained by him being compromised by russia, if you've payed any attention at all to his entire life history, that can't also be explained by the simple fact he just wanted to fucking do it.

        if it makes you feel better, like you've discovered, or uncovered something secret, trump really doesn't want you to know, because he's afraid somehow that you can hurt him, or cause him damage, with it, have at it man

        it continue to be the stupidenst weakass lazy shit, and as we're all going down the drain to burn, seeing this being pumped out by the addle brained is annoying as fuck

    • He's 110% compromised, and it's why his whole staff met with Russians ahead of his taking office the 1st time, why Russians never went into the logs, why nothing they talked about ever came out of the room, and why he is continuing to do Putin's bidding with regard to Ukraine currently. Not believing so plays into his "Russia Russia Russia" misinformation campaign. Putin may not have Kompromat, but I think Trump would sell the US for a few Trump hotels in Russia, and a place to flee should anyone with authority actually tries to hold him accountable for his laundry list of crimes and treasonous actions.

      Also remember he also has had help from Moscow Mitch, and the seven members of Congress that went to report the "Russia Russia Russia" status back to Trump's handlers and get further instructions.

    • Every single time I see your comments on something, it seems as if your purpose is to come off as someone trying their hardest to be on the wrong side of everything.

      • some? half? of the time the majority of you all just happen to be dead wrong, and acting like obtuse and ignorant morons. for the most part you're baiting antisemites, but the idiocy leaks into plenty of other stuff. i do what i can.

    • I think your use of compromised is too narrow here and that's why you're being attacked for it. We can see how he behaves around Musk and it's not too far off Putin if you ignore the public facing nature of it. I don't think Trump is trying to prevent some kompromat either, but clearly favor has been curried behind the scenes. Trump is well known to have, and self admittedly has, a piggy bank in Russia bigger than his piggy bank here, at least in 2016. I think to believe there isn't people on Russia who have similar relationships to the ones in America that make him cucked to Elon Musk is a bit niave, if that's what you're saying.

    • My guy he rigged the election with f'elon

    • "Donald Trump is a Manchurian Candidate" is the thing you get to say when you've run out of other things to say. Its the thin edge of the grift for BlueMAGA. We're going to get a big earful about how anyone who disagrees with Chuck Schumer is also compromised. Everyone who doesn't toe the line on Israel is a double-agent. Anyone who says or does anything to denigrate the Democratic Party is a Wumao or a Bot or an evil Iranian Terrorist.

      The only thing that Liberals have learned from Trumpism is that you need to lie bigger and louder and more incredulously than the last guy.

      Nobody wants to accept that these corrupt policies are coming from inside the country. Thielism has compromised as many democrats as republicans. And the Network State is going to come for us all, whether we're waving a rainbow flag or a thin blue line one.
