So, why aren't the libs acknowledging Trump is harder on Russia than obama?

[Theowl32]

Actually, no. He has taken several more actions since your Jan. articles.

• June 2018, President Trump’s Admin imposed sanctions against five Russian entities and three Russian individuals for enabling Russia’s military and intelligence units to increase Russia’s offensive cyber capabilities.
  
• President Trump’s Administration is implementing new sanctions on Russian oligarchs, government officials, and entities for their roles advancing Russia’s malign activities.
• The sanctions target seven Russian oligarchs and the 12 companies they own or control, 17 senior Russian government officials, and a state-owned Russian weapons trading company and a bank it owns.
  • A number of individuals listed in the Administration’s January 2018 Report on Senior Foreign Political Figures and Oligarchs in the Russian Federation will be targeted.
  • These sanctions will help ensure the Russian oligarchs who profit from Russia’s destabilizing activities face the consequences for doing so.
  • The state-owned weapons trading company being sanctioned provides military equipment and support to the Government of Syria, enabling the regime’s continual attacks against Syrian citizens.

REINFORCING A STRONG SANCTIONS REGIME: The new sanctions announced today will further the Administration’s efforts to confront destabilizing and malicious behavior by Russia.

• President Trump’s Administration has consistently confronted Russian activities that threaten our institutions, our interests, or our allies.
• In March 2018, President Trump’s Administration imposed sanctions against 16 Russian entities and individuals for their roles in Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
  • The Administration also imposed sanctions against Russian intelligence agencies and officials for their significant efforts to undermine U.S. cyber security.
• In February 2018, The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network proposed a new rule to bar a Latvian bank involved in illicit Russia-related activity from opening or maintaining correspondent accounts in the United States.

He twice has ordered the bombing of chemical weapons owned by Putin ally Bashar Assad of Syria. Last May, Ukraine began receiving U.S. state-of-the-art Javelin anti-tank missiles as well. The administration has now sanctioned a total of one hundred targets in response to Russia’s ongoing occupation of Crimea and aggression in Eastern Ukraine and has designated Russian actors under Iran and North Korea sanctions authorities too.

You do realize that was old news, right? He came up with tougher sanctions after that.

Trump is only being hard on the Russians because he is being forced into it by the Congress. Trump's words belie his actions.

I was not happy with Obama and thought he was weak with the Russians. Extremely weak. It is a stain on his legacy.

However, though there may be a stain on Obama's legacy does not act as absolution for Trump's sins with Russia including his acting like a Russian surrogate at NATO meetings and as may be revealed in the Mueller probe, among other things.

Bullshit Congress can't force the President to sign shit not without a 2//3 override.

Senate joins House in overwhelmingly passing new Russian sanctions
Does 98/2 count as 2/3's. Not good at math but I'm pretty sure that counts.
Trump Won't Impose Sanctions on Russia and Congress Is Upset
This is what Trump choose to do. Doesn't look exactly a hard stance.

I'm guessing you mean when he expelled the 60 diplomats?Donald Trump ‘felt misled over expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats for Salisbury attack’
So the one time it didn't take an act of congress. It were his aides that pushed, and he had buyers remorse after the fact. Yup these are the actions of someone who's "tough" on Russia.

LOL

Its pointless man. They are worthless hypocrites.

These are actions that were taken, I concede that. On the other hand there's plenty of instances were he not just failed to do anything about Russia, but even openly sided with them. My question is, to what extent the times sanctions were imposed it was actually done having Trumps full support, and how many times he was just railroaded to act? As in my second link was pointed out. Sometimes people other then congress coerce Trump to act. It's of course impossible to asses, but information doesn't exist in a vacuum and Trump's track record isn't the greatest.

Owl, the left lives in an alternate universe. It is always "yeah, but!" They have absolutely no idea what is actually going on, or what is coming their way before midterms. When is does happen, they will not believe it, it was concocted, until they concede that they have also been misled by their heroes.

Virtually EVERYTHING that we claimed happened, they insisted did not, only to discover it did. You would THINK they would have learned their lesson, but no, they have not! They will NOT believe that they have been duped. They actually think that all these people; including politicians, are making this stuff up to save Trump, and are willing to fall on their swords and give up their careers too. It is all so surreal to watch them try and ignore facts, and reality.

To the Left I say-------->we understand you don't like Trump; we weren't happy about Obama either. But after seeing the evidence, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what happened, and you can probably thank Brennan, who is now your hero, but probably won't be for long.

The only question remains is----------> was the DNC complicit? If not, you are all good, if they were, your screwed. Seeing as Hillary was running the DNC, and the fact that the Democrats in congress are as aware of what happened, as Nunez and Trump are, I have a feeling that this is not going to end well for your side.

If you notice, things are coming out faster, and faster, as the midterms approach. Trust me, that is by design! Do you actually think they are leading with their most damning evidence this far out? If you do, you are silly! This whole collusion/delusion was POLITICAL, and it was intended to be POLITICAL. So don't be so angry when the evidence comes out who did it, BEFORE the midterms. That is POLITICAL too! You started it, Trump will finish it-)

It was President Trump who led the world in expelling Russian diplomats after the Russian government was suspected of carrying out a nerve agent attack in the United Kingdom against one of their former spies. President Trump moved swiftly to expel 60 Russian diplomats from U.S. soil, and other countries followed suit by expelling dozens as well.

In addition to stringent sanctions, President Trump has also called out Russia publicly.

During a landmark speech last year in Poland, Trump lambasted Russia for using oil to hold NATO's Eastern European countries hostage. Trump underscored the dangers of those countries' dependence on Russian oil deliveries to keep their people warm during the winter, leading to their inability to criticize Russia the rest of the year.

The Trump administration even offered to help identify alternative energy sources for the region. Trump's remarks on European soil was the energy industry equivalent of Reagan's "tear down that wall" speech.

Compare all of the above actions to Obama's milquetoast policy on Russia and outright appeasement on issues such as the "red line" that Russia blew right past in Syria. Obama's lackluster track record with Russia is in stark contrast to the Trump administration that has already, in its first 18 months, surpassed what Obama did over a total of eight years.

President Trump is tougher on Russia in 18 months than Obama in eight years

In what specific ways has Putin benefitted from Trump as president?

Trump is only hard on those with a grasp of reality. Obama was tough and did not make a fool of himself by kiss putins ass.

The answer to that question is very simple. The Libtards are all suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, a terrible debilitating mental illness. Until we find a cure for that disease don't expect the Libtards to get anything right.
