In any time in past history Abandoning US sanctions against Russia and aiding and abetting would have been considered treason. Had Obama been bro buddies with Putin the way Trump is he'd have been charged with treason. Had Obama refused to use homeland security and NSA resources to aggressively dig into Russian interference state by state, or refused to use all resources to protect against and fight it, congress would have impeached him. Had Obama refused to acknowledge known incursions and threats by Russia to our grid it would have been unthinkable.

Has anyone caught this latest release of intelligence that Russia has actually breached key and critical infrastructure? Did you catch that the intelligence community take on it is that we are hosed if Putin decides to go there? The information is coming out, but the right, the country loving patriots are not catching information that's in front of our faces because they believe it's all fake news. We as a people have been monkeyed with to where people don't know what the truth is anymore. The right is seeing hardcore threats as left wing hysteria.

This is what scares me, the threats are being talked about in front of our faces, and that isn't enough to worry those who are blindly supporting this president, who clearly is not up to dealing with Putin, who is the master.

Russia has never been a friend or ally, and to think Trump has something going on that brings Russia on as an ally is truly ridiculous. In Syria alone Trump has deferred to Russia, Russia is supporting who we are fighting, they are supplying our enemy with arms and boots on the ground. Russia is back to their tricks of using mercenary forces so that when battles erupt they can say it wasn't them.

Under the radar has been a heated battle between the group we support and Russia's allies, we killed over 200 Russian mercenaries, I don't know how many Syrians were killed or how many soldiers we lost. This is what went on in Afghanistan when Russia was directly involved, we supported their enemies and broke them, made the war cost them far too much that they didn't have. We broke Russia financially, and have controlled them with financial sanctions, thereby keeping them broke. And Tillerson would provide Russia with profoundly needed money, and Trump would have completely lifted financial sanctions had he not been held accountable. Trump is doing everything he can to cooperate with a country that is still very much our enemy and the enemy of democracy.

It is clear that those who support Trump don't care one bit about democracy, they are just fine with the GOP doing whatever they want. Not only that, there will be a certain level of refusing to accept it when Democrats take control and put an end to this anti democracy BS.

The right had and has one thing correct, government was broken during Obama's terms, the GOP was in control and they do not know how to govern, they only know how to obstruct. And now that the GOP has it all including a puppet president who will sign whatever they do, it is still deeply broken. And the right is okay with that and is okay with it being broken to a worse degree. The GOP needs to have a dem led house so that the blame for their obstruction can go back on dems, because they own this circle jerk right now.

So the assessment that has been made by intelligence is that we are more vulnerable to attack than Russia, because we have more to lose. We are more dependent on computers and the internet.
