Newsweak giving life to an event that never happened.
Never happened except in their fevered imagination. But in 2023, "news" is anything bad you can imagine about America's last elected president.

Did he also wait for the Bush II secret wink before invading Crimea in 2014, three years into Obama’s presidency?

Meanwhile, the Biden crime family has received millions from China and Newsweek isn’t the least bit interested in what Biden gave the Chinese in return.

Well, Trump did not give him the wink. Joe Biden did.

"...a "wink" from the Republican former president was needed to "make this work," former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissman has said."

All you need to know. This is one of the biggest pieces of sh*t to ever pollute Washington.

He invented a new crime to take down a company and jail the executives, who later were acquitted on appeal. But it was too late- they already fired hundreds of employees and closed the business.

Makes sense. Which is why Putin invaded Ukraine a year after Trump left office and after a "wink" from Biden.

These people really do think we're stupid.

If Trump hadn’t been cheated out of election victory, pootz would still be waiting for that wink, and ukraine will still be in one piece.

Andrew Weissmann has less credibility than North Korea’s little rocket man.

Didn’t Trump give Putin the green light for a “minor incursion” into Ukraine? Or was that someone else?

Weissman must mean the HUGE wink Obamaumao the First gave to Putin such that he invaded Crimea and got ZERO response from the US.

Putin was and is scared of Trump sufficiently to have been put under control. And Xi Ping? a psychopath who can be controlled by illusion of things, apparently.

Guess Putin never got that wink from Trump.

He did get a direct invitation from Joe Biden to engage in a “minimal border incursion” in Eastern Ukraine.

The anti-Trump BS never stops. The FACT is that Putin DID NOT move against the Ukraine while Trump was in office, but under Biden. It is also a FACT that Putin went into Crimea on Obama's watch.

And who was it who presented Putin with the famous "re-set button"? Obama and Hillary.

"Do these morons ever think through the ramifications of what it is they’re saying?"

They are confident that the MSM will not point out the obvious like you just did and will just spin it as more proof of how everything is Trump's fault.

Wait, I thought they were claiming that Trump was Putin’s puppet. Now it turns out that Putin was Trump’s puppet? I’m so confused.
