If you worked for trump...you are not seen as having any credibility. This is the most dishonest Regime that ever existed.
They knowingly signed on to a fascist Russian puppet and deserve any consequences that come their way.
Please outline how Russia has benefitted from Trumps administration.
If he is a puppet, he isn't very good at it.
Well Russia's main problem is not the US, it's Europe. The US and Europe have been close allies since WW2. This means that Russia benefits if the relationship between the US and Europe is bad. I think Trump has been very effective in achieving that.
Russia has been trying to get a presence in the Middle East for ages. Guess what? By withdrawing from Syria Trump has given them exactly that.
Geopolitically, Trump has been the most helpful American president in history.
America expanded alliances in the M.E between Israel and it's neighbours. That is important for future American interests as Europe has not been the most staunch supporter of Israel (ironic, considering their lack of voicing China human rights abuses).
Particularly Germany and France, have played both sides. Germany signed on to a pipeline that will send hundreds of billions of dollars to Russia. France has been selling peaceful nuclear functionality to Iran for decades. Even building them such facilities only before Israel (with U.S support) wiped them out.
Europe is going to remain neutral between America and China with Trump losing in 2020. This wasn't the case in the past, but it started to slowly become this way during Clintons years and escalated sharply when GBW went into Iraq. Do you recall the Allied Force that America had during that attack? it was basically UK and U.S ,with Canada proving covert, unofficial (see, secret even from us) special force support and a few mish-mash of small nations looking to obtain favor.
This is why the tactics by Big Tech and the old Establishment to take out Trump was a bad decision. Trump was defending U.S Big Tech interests in Europe, threatening sanctions to France or any other country looking to impede their power with tariffs. That threat is off the table now, twitter and Facebook will lose significant power in Europe.
The West, in particular America, created Frankenstein called China, now we all pay a price, including America. The only legitimate approach required a sanction-heavy, open Cold War, rather than the one being played out.
I try to read between the lines. I found it particular interesting that as soon as Trump won last time, a bunch of CIA counter intel agents in Asia went dark. They were worried about Trumps intentions. The worst part about that is that CIA now has no idea what was happening. If Trump had NOT won, they would have been even worse off, potentially exposing themselves by using agents who the Communists clearly knew about, but, U.S didn't know this.
There can't be a grey line. It has to be "you are with us or China". That's the deal, the societies and global objectives are too different. Some want to continue to live in la-la land and believe peace and harmony is possible.
We might have believed that years ago, but not now. The WTO should have demanded massive changes to China before allowing them in. We were raided.
