Ralph Peters: "I Am Convinced That Vladimir Putin Has Some Grip On President Trump"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 6/6/2018 | ian schwartz

Retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, a former FOX News contributor, told Anderson Cooper on Wednesday that he is "convinced" Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin has some type of "grip" on President Trump.

"I am convinced that Vladimir Putin has some a grip on President Trump," Peters said on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360. "And, Anderson, when I first learned of the Steele dossier, it just rang true to me, because that’s how the Russians do things. And before he became a candidate or president, Donald Trump was the perfect target for Russian intelligence."

"Here is someone who has no self-control, a sense of sexual entitlement and intermittent financial crisis," he said of Trump. "I mean, that’s made-to-order for seduction by Russian intelligence."

Peters also talked about his time at FOX News, why he left, and why he believes the network is doing a great deal of damage to the country.

No Ralph Peters for me since he demonstrated conclusively that mental illness has some kind of grip on him during the MH370 reporting.

Bubba Clinton smokes, drinks and assaults and rapes women.

Obozo smokes, drinks and takes recreational (and illegal) drugs.

I wonder what Ralphie thinks of their habits, since he is criticizing leaders for lack of self-control. The pundits only ever pile on Donald Trump these days.

Putin has enough dirt on the deep state to put them all in prison for life.

If he does I sure wish he'd pull that trigger.

Of course he'd rather do it the old Soviet way of blackmail and extortion to get what he wants and these people are low-hanging fruit for that.

This idiot has got a “grip” on a wad of cash. It’s the only reason he’s out there, to collect money for something outrageous.

I remember when LTC Ralph Peters was assigned to US Army Intelligence and Threat Analysis Center around 1991-92. He was assigned to the Soviet-Warsaw Pact Division as an intelligence analysis but was snapped up by the G-2 (aka Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence) in the Pentagon to be in its intelligence analysis section, DAMI-FIO. He was well known within the Army’s Military Intelligence community as a Foreign Area Officer specializing in the Soviet Union’s military. I only met him briefly during the week he actually was at ITAC.

The LTC Peters from then is totally different from the man I’ve seen on TV the last decade.

My brother-in-law is a retired Army Intelligence O-5. Maybe Fox should hire him instead.

It does seem that way. Perhaps he is worried some of his deep state buddies are going away for long stretches?

Can the colonel explain why President Trump is wrecking Putin’s economy?

Between the increased sanctions imposed by the Trump administration and the President opening up more and more sites for drilling, Russia is going broke. They have no exports other than oil.
