I remember, before Putin took control, America and Russia slowly coming together for common interests, space research, economic concerns, military reductions in arms….
don’t forget the rest of the EU and Great Briton are sitting with the Dems. the new russian oligarchy is messing with their elections as well and that fits well with that hardline/loopy vein of republicans/theocrats that wants a weakened europe and thinks NATO and the UN is a step towards one world government and armageddon.
“For more than seven decades, leaders of nuclear-armed states have relied on an unstable compound of fear and luck to keep their populations safe from total destruction. But that luck is running out; at some point, an accidental or intentional launch will trigger global contagion. And with particularly fragile egos currently leading the world’s biggest (US and Russia) and most unpredictable (North Korea) nuclear-armed states, the doomsday scenario is simply too plausible for comfort.”
Wow, really Andy? Really? You are comparing trump’s use of the Russians to get elected on one hand to various diplomatic issues on the other. Huh? How can you compare the active use of Russian subterfuge to undermine our election to various decisions made or not made on foreign policy?
How are the two even vaguely equivalent? You don’t think working with a hostile foreign power to subvert an election is a bad thing for the US? While it’s true the US has done this to other countries, that’s no excuse and doesn’t make it right, and certainly not in this circumstance.
But right or wrong on foreign policy, trump’s behavior is observably and repeatedly deplorable, reflecting his bad character, which is the issue. The ignorance, lazines, and incompetence are part of it, but the continual, boldfaced lying and cheating are at the core.
He is a bad man who you support. Why do you think character is unimportant?
@Andylit: Apparently you are unaware that Trump’s team, egged on by their Russian masters, got the GOP to remove a condemnation of the Russian invasion of the Crimea from their party platform.
While fighting in Viet Nam, they told us we were fighting to stop the spread of Communism, and that was LBJ. Now we have a Presumed Overlord Taking Us Submissive; to Putin, and any other dictator he loves and wants to emulate. I dare call it treason.

Now that is funny.
The reset button.
More flexibility after the election.
Total inaction over Crimea and the Russian supported action on the Ukraine border.
Surrender to the Russian escalation in Syria.
No, its not funny. It is sad and scary.

And they call themselves patriots. They are as much a patriot as they are a Christian. Both FAKE NEWS!

Another example of Trump Disciples lying about every issue.

Vice President Trump going to President Putin to get advice since he does not bother to use American advice.
Republicans took hundreds of millions from the Russians to influence our election.
Satanic Trump just stonewalls and lies that Russian interference in our election never happened.
