Trump Hasn't Been a Friend To Russia

[protectionist]

A few years ago, the same people who now claim President Trump to be friends with Putin and Russia, were themselves, quite friendly with Russia. They seem to have become rather anti-Russia, only since Trump had said he thought it would be good if the US could be friends with Russia. In any case, the idea that Trump has become excessively pro-Russia is a mistaken one, proven by the facts of recent history.

1. the Trump administration imposed new sanctions on Russia — including strict sanctions on seven of Russia’s richest individuals and 17 top government officials for their interference in our elections.


2. The sanctions directly penalized President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle, by prohibiting them from traveling to the United States ever again. He did this by opening a bank account in the West, preventing them from doing business with the West and prohibiting anyone else to do business on their behalf.


3. Here's some more YOU WON'T HEAR IT ON CNN stuff >> During his first month in office in January 2017, President Trump upheld strict sanctions to punish Russia for its unlawful 2014 annexation of Crimea. With those sanctions, the Trump administration punished more than three dozen individuals and organizations that were behind the invasion of Ukraine.


4. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin had a hand in the actions, stating that there would be no easing of the sanctions until Russia meets its obligations under the 2015 Minsk agreement — the ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine.


5. It was Trump — not Obama — who ordered the closure of Russian diplomatic properties in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and New York City that appeared to be a threat to American security


6. .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.


7. In a major 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 Causes and Implications of Russia's Ruble Crisis

A year later, Russia’s economy was on the brink of a crisis with the ruble falling to record lows against currencies like the U.S. dollar. The Russian central bank’s decision to hike interest rates by a massive 6.5 percent failed to stem the tide, as investors lost confidence in the currency. While the currency recovered to some extent in 2016, it still hadn't regained its prior strength in 2018.


Falling Oil Prices
Russia’s economy has always been dependent on the price of crude oil and natural gas, as commodities account for a significant portion of the economy. In 2013, exports of crude oil and related products accounted for more than two-thirds of the country’s total exports and more than half of the government’s total revenue, meaning that lower prices could have a huge impact on the economy.


We are DESTROYING THE RUBLE............Low gas prices and we have crushed their economy............We are now the #1 producer of oil in the world and are taking them to the cleaners...............OPEC is falling apart with countries like Qatar leaving............That is not being nice to Russia.........but at the pumps in the U.S. it's REAL NICE.......lol

In case anyone forgot, Obama didn't levy any real sanctions against Russia until 2016.

Obama Announces Sanctions Against Russia In Response To Alleged Hacking

Obama Strikes Back at Russia for Election Hacking

In other words, Obama was in office for a full eight years before he took the threat of Russian interference seriously enough to do anything about it. And what did he do? He expelled some diplomats.

Those 200 dead Russian mercenaries who got slaughtered on that bridge in Syria would disagree with you, if they were still alive.

Damn. Beat by a moment again.

Trump also approved the sale of anti-tank missiles to the Ukraine, something which Obama would not do.

Yet another sad, lonely, out of touch person whose girl lost the 2016 election, and who can't seem to comprehend what's going on around her.

Give me one single example of anything Donald J. Trump has done to benefit Russia....

I will patiently wait.
