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.
While I admit this is technically a conspiracy theory, I think it’s a lot more likely than most people are even able to understand… They can understand the concept of “State level spy shit,” but this is somehow outside the realm of possibility? Really?
Edit for bonus food for thought: Russia and China have an economic system outside of the Dollar that they would -love- to be the world standard. Money influences behavior better than anything else.
