Sebastian Gorka: Trump has been ‘bad for Putin’
Former Deputy Assistant to Donald Trump has criticised Russia’s role in Syria and says every major policy decision of the US President has put pressure on Putin.
A FORMER Trump staffer claims that the US President has been “bad for Vladimir Putin”.
Former deputy assistant to President Donald Trump, Dr Sebastian Gorka, told MirandaLive that the confrontation in Syria was not just between America and Russia.
“It’s a confrontation between the civilised world and those who think it is acceptable to use chemical weapons in the 21st century,” he said.
Dr Gorka rejected suggestions that President Trump had been working closely with Russia to fight ISIS in the region.
“Russia is there to exploit instability. It’s there to sell weapons, it’s there to prop up a dictatorial regime,” he said.
Dr Gorka said every significant policy decision made by President Trump had been “bad for Vladimir Putin and his kleptocracy”.
He listed the arming of the Ukrainian Government, the military build-up within the United States and getting NATO to agree to meet its own defence spending requirements all put pressure on Russia.
“None of these things are good for Vladimir Putin,” he said.

Wartime leader Morrison is not what Australia wants, but needs
There is little enthusiasm for Albo, other than as a way to kick out a government Aussies are sick of. If the Coalition is defeated on Saturday, it’s a triumph of emotion over reason, writes Miranda Devine.

Drowning not waving: Labor win a border risk
If Anthony Albanese wins the election the boats will start again, because people smugglers know Labor is weak on borders, writes Miranda Devine.
Beware the committed socialist in conservative’s clothing
Disunity on the US right helped usher in the worst president in living memory, Joe Biden. Australian voters must be wary of making the same mistake, writes Miranda Devine.
