• Restrict oil and gas production to make Europe more dependent on Russian energy.
• Prevent U.S. LNG (liquefied natural gas) exports to Europe so Russia can capture the market.
• Increase U.S. debt and trigger economic crises
• Implement policies that fuel chaos and inflation.
• Accumulate U.S. debt to make the economy more vulnerable.
• Let China and Russia dominate global trade
• Weaken the U.S. dollar by promoting alternative currencies like the ruble or yuan in international trade.
• Undermine U.S. influence in institutions like the IMF and World Bank.
WEAKEN U.S. ALLIES: TARGET CANADA AND EUROPE
A president aligned with Russia would seek to weaken U.S. strategic partners, particularly Canada and the European Union.
• Harm the Canadian economy
• Impose tariffs or block trade agreements to weaken Canada.
• Disrupt energy relations, preventing the export of Canadian oil to the U.S.
• Undermine NORAD and mutual defense agreements, making North America more vulnerable.
• Support populist and separatist movements
• Encourage political divisions in allied countries (e.g., Quebec independence, Brexit in Europe).
• Boost the rise of anti-NATO and anti-European parties to weaken the EU.
• Let Russia expand into Europe and Africa
• Not react if Russia invades other countries after Ukraine.
• Allow Russia to increase its influence in Africa, replacing U.S. and European presence.
PROPAGANDA AND INFORMATION CONTROL
• Spread disinformation
• Encourage conspiracy theories and spread misinformation about Russia.
• Accuse political opposition of being “unpatriotic” or controlled by the “deep state”.
• Control the media narrative
• Cut funding for independent media.
• Promote pro-Russian or populist media to dominate public discourse.
CONCLUSION: A SUBTLE BUT DESTRUCTIVE STRATEGY
A U.S. president under Russian influence wouldn’t change everything suddenly, but they would implement a long-term strategy:
✅ Weaken America from within (division, disinformation, weakened institutions).
✅ Reduce American influence internationally (NATO withdrawal, less support for allies).
✅ Strengthen Russia (lifting sanctions, weakening energy competition, dividing U.S. allies).
This would resemble a gradual erosion of American power, justified by populist and nationalist rhetoric.
