    So when Trump increased sanctions on North Korea he wasn’t really doing anything that mattered?

    What mattered wasn't the sanctions so much as getting their Chinese masters on board. Once the Chinese had decided that the potential of a Nuclear Japan and Korea was not in their best interests NK was done.

    The Russian President said there was an agreement. Why can’t you give me a link from 1990/1991 when this supposed agreement would have occurred?

    Is it because you know that “NATO” made no such agreement?

    To date, not one iota of evidence that PUTIN did ANYTHING concerning the USA election.

    There is undisputed evidence that the FBI uses software to hack into accounts that make it look like Russia did it.

    We need for Putin to control HIS intelligence communities loose cannons on the deck and Putin needs to know our President will control our intelligence communities many loose cannons on the deck.

    Do I trust intelligence community people to tell the truth. Hell no. LYING TO OBTAIN GOALS IS THEIR PROFESSION!

    In my opinion, the FBI should be removed from ANYTHING have to do with foreign governments and intelligence, limited to domestic crime.

    ANYTHING having to do with foreign powers should be matters for the CIA, NSA, Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security. From its start, the FBI had been an extremely political organization seeing its job to extort and control American politics and elected officials.

    Democrats think our president should French kiss our enemies like Russia's puppet Cuba's leader.

    Obama, nor any other President in US History, Democrat, Whig or Republican would have ever displayed such disrespect for this country. He may as well have taken a dump on the US flag on live TV.

    Trump is the leading Russian apologist. He's spent his entire presidency so far praising and supporting Putin at the expense of the US. If congress hadn't passed laws to stop him, and he hadn't been forced to sign those bills by promises of not getting any support for any of his future policies and ideas, Trump would have repealed all of the sanctions that we currently have on Russia. These sanctions were put in place, and should remain in place, for good reason, because Russia's policies worldwide have always been designed to harm the US, and US allies. Everything from their support of Cuba in the 60's to their support of scum like Assad and their attacks on Syrian, Anti-Assad rebels. There was even some evidence that they might have secret funded Al-Queda following 9/11, but there was nothing concrete enough to bring them to court over it.

    US/NATO set precedence when it annexed Kosovo. The port in Crimea has been under Russian control for 400 years and is a major strategic Russian port.

    Only someone who has no clue about geopolitics does not realize that there was no way Russia was going to let the Naval port in Crimea come under NATO control. Putin made the big fat red line in the sand very clear ... NATO went ahead and crossed that line anyway ... then all the NATO leaders wandered around after the fact feigning ignorance in a disingenuous an idiotic display.

    Our electoral system is "rigged" - there is no such thing as a functional democratic process without a fair and free media.
    Then you have actions of Hillary/DNC in relation to Sanders ... with the MSM complicit in trying to downplay Sanders. https://alethonews.com/2018/04/23/msnbc-where-journalism-goes-to-die/

    Our Justice system is a corrupt cesspool. That Mueller - a guy with a proven track record of persecuting innocents and violating the rules of Justice in such a high position of power is yet another example of how corrupt the system is.

    Trump does not have to poison the journalistic swamp as it is already dead from poisoning. The FBI is corrupt - this is not some big secret.

    I agree that this Trade war and bucking our NATO allies is a bad move.

    I also agree that Trump creates divisiveness and is rather nasty in general.

    I think you misunderstand him. He doesn't love or apologize for Russia. He hates the idea that people say he didn't win the election fair and square because of Russian meddling. So he fights against accusations of Russian meddling. We all know Russia meddled, but Trump can seem to live with that knowledge. The man has a very thin skin. That problem surfaced yesterday in Helsinki. No need to call the builders to support a falling sky. He just has an obvious weakness.
