Vladimir Putin Is "Gleeful" Over This Trump Cabinet Nomination

Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination to be the next director of national intelligence may not be making you happy, but it’s certainly making someone happy: Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In Russia, the response to the former Hawaii representative’s nomination has been “gleeful,” The New York Times reported Tuesday.

Komsomolskaya Pravda, a Russian newspaper, fawned over Gabbard in an article last week, noting that “the CIA and FBI are trembling.” The article also noted that Ukrainians considered Gabbard to be “an agent of the Russian state.”

Trump’s decision to nominate Gabbard, of all people, signals his distinct willingness to cozy up to Putin.

Russia and Russian TV thinks that Tulsi is their agent.





I am looking forward to the confirmation hearings on Tulsi and we will see what is disclosed. Senator Warren has some strong views on Tulsi


I also note that Tulsi is not competent to run the agencies.


Again, there will be confirmation hearings on Tulsi and those hearings will give her a chance to challenge this ruling.

He attacked Russia fearing they would attack Germany. And Trump allowed Russia's Putin to put nukes as close to Germany as possible. First Ukraine. Then Poland. Then ???

If only they knew before it's too late.
