does trump know that China and Russia can see these speeches lol? i wonder what's the purpose of making this public, US needs to do some massive concessions to Russia for them to ever consider that.

It must be for domestic consumption - he needs us to know (or think) he's trying to split Russia from China. Probably means he's going to make some really big moves that would freak people out without this context.

lol you are definitely right, people generally don't follow geopolitics so they must think trump is crazy for doing this, so he needs to come out and explain what is going on. i mean just look at this thread, there are guys calling him a traitor lmao

Trump's only aim is to not spend the rest of his life in prison for being a traitor.
