A Democratic Congress forced the former 1-term fuckup to move reluctantly against russia. Putin under the previous administration was attacking eastern Ukraine hence that need for Javelin missiles which led to his bargaining over them for a political favor.
Putin wanted a reduced NATO and so did trump.
Putin wanted a reduced EU and so did trump.
Putin wanted to destabilize our democracy so did trump.
Why would putin not want trump as US president?
Trump did not want to destabilize our democracy. Democrats DID DO THAT, by stealing the 2020 election with massive fraud, which I posted PAGES of in this forum.
Trump did not want a reduced NATO, Trump strengthend NATO by getting NATO members to pay their correct shares into it.
There are MANY reasons why Putin would not want Trump as US president. For one thing he couldn't invade Ukraine as long as Trump was president. If you watched Newsmax, instead of being victim of liberal OMISSON media, you wouldn't have to ask such a question, obvious to knowledgable conservatives.
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. 1 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. 2
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. 3
With those sanctions, the Trump administration punished more than three dozen individuals and organizations that were behind the invasion of Ukraine. 4
Trump isn't the only one who has had a hand in the Russia penalizing. His cabinet has entered into these foreign policy dealings as well. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin had a hand in the actions, stating that there would be no easing of the sanctions, until Russia were to meet the requirements expected of them under the 2015 Minsk agreement —the Russia/Ukraine ceasefire agreement. 5
In addition, seeing Russian diplomatic properties in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and New York City, as threats to American security, Trump, not Obama,
ordered the closure of them, after Russia had ordered that the United States cut its diplomatic staff in Russia. 6
Then there was the nerve agent attack in the United Kingdom. The Russian government was suspected, and it was President Trump who led the world in
expelling Russian diplomats after the ominous scenario unfolded. Trump moved swiftly to expel 60 Russian diplomats from U.S. soil. 7
Lastly, after Russia used its oil leverage over NATO’s Eastern European countries to hold them hostage, Trump scolded Russia, in a 2017
speech in Poland. In the speech, Trump emphasized the danger to those counties, of being so dependent on those Russian oil imports. 8
