I can feel the love already. There will be peace between the USSA and Russia now. More oil drilling in Siberia. And a united Ukraine -- as a Russian satellite. In return maybe Putin will let the USSA invade and colonize Mexico without objection in the UN. Long overdue.
In 2012 you guys said Russia was our friend and criticized Palin and Romney when they didn't say nice things about them. In November of 2016 Russia suddenly became our sworn enemy - how did Obama cause that and why?
I don't know who "you guys" are supposed to be. It certainly isn't me. I typically don't regard Russians as enemies, but as rivals. Always have. Their tactics and their territorial objectives have never been much of a secret, and dispite the end of the Cold War, aren't much different then they were when Peter the Great was Czar. Russia didn't "suddenly become our sworn enemy". But a strange thing did happen in the interval. After Putin backed Assad's brutal war on his own people in Syria, we started seeing right wingers here on this forum and elsewhere parroting articles out of Russian media as legitimate objective news operations. Many of you are still doing it. As the Presidential election approached, we started seeing obvious trolls, and the articles from Sputnik and RT were still being cited by American right wingers as news and not propaganda. During the 2016 election cycle, here today, gone tomorrow fake news websites, often disguised to look like legimate established media, started popping up and printing totally idiotic and outrageous stories. And then promptly disappearing. IT did not take long for most of this stuff to be walked back to the Russians or a group of hackers in Eastern Europe (since identified as a Russian front group). Now we have a President who refused to acknowledge the meddling that has gone on in plain sight for more than four years now, and still refuses to do anything to contain the Russian cyber war. Our country has been attacked, and its leadership coopted. That was in plain view last week in Helsinki.
Its clear isnt it? By the way trump was acting like putin lap dog at the summit in helsinki, how putin simply ignored an invitation and is now calling trump to him? Russia either has something on trump or this is some bromance/crush trump has for "strong leader" vladimir.
Not suddenly if you actually followed the news you could have seen what actually happened, first sanctions date back to 2014 .
Not nearly as likely as the odds that he won't be: giving away control of 20% more of our uranium reserves, refusing the sell arms to the Ukraine, reneging on the NATO Missile Defense Shield, apologizing for the 200+ dead Russians he bombed in Syria, recognizing Crimea as part of Russia, apologizing for opening the European LNG market to American companies, or "promising more flexibility after his election".
Or, maybe, Trump is simply improving relations with another superpower. Once you guys look past your conspiracy theories the entire world opens up for you.
Russia isnt a superpower,strange you use that term. Yeah russia is still trying to hack the US and influence whatever it can, its still attacking the US, its still occupying part of ukraine. Those are simple facts not conspiracy theories .
Ah trying to change the subject, there is no reason to be friendly with russia as long as they keep attacking and trying to influence the US. Thats just common sense and just about everyone but a russian troll would see that.
How are we being friendly? Talking to them does not mean we are friends. Didn't Obama say we should talk to our enemies even? Now if you have a list of things we have done only to help Russia then please share them.
Wel obama did the whole reset button thing and opened up more for russian trade and supported getting russia into the WTO. Its not the US' fault that russia invaded its neighbour and stole their land. Appeasement doesnt work.
When Obama said that he would talk with anyone the talking heads at Fox Network exploded and the extremist of the extreme crazy wing radio talk show host went berzerk.
Frankly Indo not care what we or anyone else did to Russia, I only care about us, as the U.S. Russsia be damned.
And I am sure you thought they were wrong so Trump is actually doing what you agree with. Unless you think that FOX and their talking heads were right. Are you siding with FOX?
Fox News, the extremists talking heads were wrong there is nothing wrong with talking. What Trump did wrong with Kim is let his bragging overshadow reality when he declared that the NK nuclear threat was over. He then claimed the Peace Prize. With Putin he put down our own intelligence agencies then went on both of his knees melting in the presents of his dictator hero. Talkingbwould have been just fine.
