HI Do you really think Putin is influencing trump?
I just didn't know that all citizens of the country could be influenced from the other side of the globe.
Trump..... I can understand our politicians who after Board at us, go to live to you that t them didn't hang up, but your politicians don't leave anywhere, what sense to them it is bad to do to the country in which they will live?
And why Russia? I answer because a long time ago the Soviet Union could have destroyed the United States. And US citizens need to be made to fear Putin, it is necessary for your politicians, as it was when the Soviets were one . But this is a lie now, because Russia-Putin is not the Soviet Union-Stalin, we are now capitalists, and therefore we are controlled by the same banks, not idealists.
I don't know if he is. Sadly trump has removed even interpreters from those private meetings with Putin so no one can find out. I mean who's the President now fighting back against sanctions on Russia for that election meddling? The one dropping the entire Ukraine situation? The one fighting to turn the news cycle against any anti-Russian reports, and to things like "12 people kneeled during the anthem". Who's the one that is throwing out the FBI, NSA, CIA, and almost a dozen foreign US ally intelligence reports and saying he believes Putin?
And you are asking what sense it is for someone like Rex Tillerson who has a massive investment in Russian State owned oil company Rosneft to help the country where his money is invested? Or why Flynn might want his investment into that nuclear deal with Rosoboron, a Russian state owned arms exporter under US sanctions helped? I mean that should be self-evident.
What sense Russia would want having made clear with Putin that they oppose NATO to have leadership in the US adding to their criticism of it? Why would they want an America that has long opposed their spread and influence to instead of promote America on a global scale turn to nationalism and give them more potential room to influence around the world? Why they would want leadership in America that would turn away from Syria and the Ukraine and let them expand their influence?
You say a long time ago Russia could have destroyed the US. Yes and it would have destroyed Russia as well. So we tried hurting each other instead without mutually assured destruction.
If you can't beat your enemy on the battlefield, go into your adversary, win over their populations and help elect officials that are sympathetic to the Russian viewpoint, and tie up your enemy, essentially, with politics and infighting. It was literally our cold war policy and now being used against us.
I mean here we are... Our elections influenced, government information hacked, Russia in a cold war style expansion of influence across countries, attempting to suppress voters, hacking state-voter registration systems... The foundation of the US under attack, and we are tied up arguing over if it's a fence or a wall, rather than responding.
And I get it. There's thousands of Kremlin run facebook pages, twitter handles, influence into groups like the NRA by Russian spies telling us that Putin is really a good guy and his government subverting voting in America isn't bad and don't worry about that. And they have hundreds of thousands of followers in the US, believing them over our allies, our CIA, our NSA, our FBI, our leaders. Then people start spouting those same Russian led stories in the US. And the best part is they throw in the hook with "I don't see how citizens of the country could be influenced from the other side of the globe." as they spread the information the other side of the globe wants spread to undermine the US.
