It must be REALLY HARD for foreigners to cope with the USA which is in the throes of a bad case political schizophrenia that is then reflected in our foreign relationships.
Treasury Department Establishes Trump Campaign Collusion With Russian Intelligence
Today the Treasury Department announced sweeping sanctions against the Russian government and individuals “who attempted to influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election at the direction of the leadership of the Russian Government.” While the sanctions focused on the 2020 election, buried within the Treasury Department announcement is a blockbuster statement establishing Trump Campaign collusion with Russian Intelligence Services in the 2016 election.
Unsurprisingly, it involves Paul Manafort. The Mueller Report established that Manafort secretly shared confidential polling data with Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian intelligence operative. The Treasury Department announcement today went further, making clear that this information was then given to Russian Intelligence services which used it to interfere in America’s 2016 Presidential election.
During the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign, Kilimnik provided the Russian Intelligence Services with sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy. Additionally, Kilimnik sought to promote the narrative that Ukraine, not Russia, had interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
By contrast, The Mueller Report stated that it could not determine Manafort’s purpose in sharing the data because it could not determine what Kilimnik did with the data after Manafort gave it to him.
IN 2018, EIGHT REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS celebrated the Fourth of July in Moscow, Russia: Senator Richard C. Shelby of Alabama, who led the delegation, along with Senators Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, John Neely Kennedy of Louisiana, Steve Daines of Montana, North Dakota’s John Hoeven, Jerry Moran of Kansas, South Dakota’s John Thune, and Rep. Kay Granger of the 12th District of Texas. The ostensible reason for the trip was “engagement”—the same tired excuse Senator Rand Paul routinely provides to justify his own shadowy meetings with our enemies.
The GOP octet was denied an audience with Vladimir Putin—a subtle and characteristically petty show of his dominance—but the group nevertheless met with a number of key Russians, including foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and former Russian ambassador to the US Sergei Kislyak—the two jackals who 14 months earlier were photographed by the Russian press yukking it up with Trump in the Oval Office, the day after Comey was fired. Perhaps the Americans’ intention was to lay the smack down?
Now is the time for NATO to serve as a counterbalance in the Ukraine and show Putin he can not bully that nation into submission. This isn’t the late ’30s any more.
Biden can’t make up his mind. First calls Putin killer, refuses to debate him, then speaksto Putin via telephone and now wants a meeting in another country! This man is veryconfused!
Biden was a evil senator and he is an evil president. Anyone who thinks Russia is our enemy has been thoroughly brainwashed by our corporate controlled media.
A lot of posts about Trumps conversations with Putin. Facts are there were no other Americans in the room save for Trumps translator, whose notes were confiscated by Trump after the meeting. Trump never had a debriefing with any of his own staff or National Security people after the meetings. That is contrary to how EVERY American President has operated in the past. No rational person expects every word spoken in these meetings to be made public, at least not within decades, but for them to be kept from the Presidents inner circle and the people who are supposed to help advise him and guide policy is at best reckless, at worst possibly treasonous.

Obviously, get rid of the “R” and he’s a fiend. Trump’s “command” of the language was very bad.

He was always a fiend. It’s just that for four years the fiend had a friend in the White House.

The Trump group gave Russia polling information so Russia could help Trump by influencing certain markets in the USA.

Speaking of fiends, the DOJ is going after Trump’s main henchman, Roger Stone.
Like Capone, they can’t get him for murder so they will hang him on taxes.
Justice Department files civil lawsuit against Roger Stone over unpaid taxes
