The Russians can’t believe their unbelievable luck, bragging that “if they are allowed to get in, they will quickly dismantle America, brick by brick. They are so great!” he said.

The incoming Trump administration fills Russian state TV propagandists with glee. In mid-November, when president-elect Donald Trump started to announce his future appointees, state TV host Olga Skabeeva gushed, “All of them are totally wonderful!”
Evgeny Popov, Skabeeva’s husband and the co-host of Russia’s 60 Minutes, concurred, describing Trump’s picks as his “radical dream team” and gleefully noting, “All of them personally despise Zelensky.” He cautiously added, “They aren’t friends of Russia, except for Tulsi Gabbard.”
For years, Gabbard’s propensity for spouting talking points that neatly aligned with the Kremlin’s agenda was seen as a boon for Moscow, with state TV host Vladimir Solovyov referring to the former congresswoman as “our girlfriend” and agreeing with pundits who described her as “Putin’s agent.”
We’ll see if Republican Senators are cool with putting Russia’s girlfriend in as director of national intelligence. Tulsi Gabbard is also pals with Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, currently hiding out in Moscow because Russia is too weak these days to protect him.
