    Yes, you have to wonder how he could have been so naive. Putin, formerly KGB. Even bush's advisors thought he was nuts.

    I’ve wondered the same thing about you.

    You’ll twist yourself in knots trying to make Trump a liar.

    Now I'm not so sure. In his dealings with Putin it's like he's juggling a hot potato. There could be something badly wrong.
    I’m pretty sure Putin would have played his ‘Trump card’ back when Trump hit that base in Syria and took out a bunch of Vlad’s military toys lol. Trump has been harder on Russia than Obama was.

    You’re entertaining a conspiracy theory.

    I was quite serious actually.

    President Obama struck back at Russia on Thursday for its efforts to influence the 2016 election, ejecting 35 suspected Russian intelligence operatives from the United States and imposing sanctions on Russia’s two leading intelligence services. The administration also penalized four top officers of one of those services, the powerful military intelligence unit known as the G.R.U.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/29/u...sanctions.html

    And what does MAGA Trump do? Almost a year later: "President Donald Trump says he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is sincere when he denies that Russia sought to interfere in the 2016 U.S. election."

    Putin is laughing at him.
    You're a fucking joke, Obama knew about the Russian meddling as early as early 2015 and yet ridiculed the notion of rigged elections in October of 2016:

    Obama said there was "no serious" person who would suggest it was possible to rig American elections, adding, "I'd invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes."

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKCN12I27L

    Trump has acknowledged Russian meddling numerous times and as early as Jan. 2017:

    January 11, 2017

    And again in June:

    You’re entertaining a conspiracy theory.
    Trump is surrounded by careergenerals, and gets intelligence from Deep State Russiaphobes.
    I had hoped Tillerson could have broken thru with his personal relationship to Putin, but US /Russia relations
    have been poisoned by fake news like the Steele dossier, and confrontationists that seek to keep Russia/Assad/Iran from holding any successful peace talks.

    We were damn lucky we only killed Russian mercenaries. Or else it would be an act of war.

    If Obama hadn't been unable to work with Putin in Syria ( preferring to tell Putin he was entering a "quagmire")-
    we could have ended the war by now and had a say in the future of Syria-which will shape the middle east.

    Trump has said "I inherited a mess". Indeed . from a fucked up US combat role in Syria now as well as a bunch
    of Russian wanna-be troll power players (which Obama knew about) because Obama refused to even talk to Putin.

    Trump came in wanted to repair those relations ( winding down a growing cold war) but gt caught up in
    bullshit like "Russian collusion" from the Dems and the press.

    Not a meme. Trump said he asked Putin if Russia did it and when Putin denied it, Trump said he believed him.https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...multiple-times Trump called it a ruse, many times. Do you know what a ruse is? Trump explained it away many times, even saying some 400 lb genius laying in a bed did it. That makes sense to you? That is a really, stupid thing to say. Makes no sense., like your response, makes no sense.

    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    "Bush early in his first term said that he had looked into Putin’s eyes and found a man he could trust. The former president Thursday said that when he was in office he believed Putin had wanted to work with the West, but after the price of oil went up, his attitude shifted.

    “I think it changed his attitude,” he said. “And I think it emboldened him to follow in his game that pretty much zero-sum, you know, I win and you lose and vice versa.”

    Bush said he tried to convince Putin that both Russia and the United States could benefit from friendly ties in the global arena, and that he’s sure President Obama is making the same argument.

    “It seems like Vladimir Putin takes a different attitude in such situations,” Bush added.
