Hmmmm seems like I saw a political rally float in Germany with Putin depicted ON Trumps back humping him (dry or not...we don’t know). A pungent observation but a telling one in the as yet unanswered question
“What does Putin have on Trump?”
Maybe nothing but why does Trump cozy up to an international criminal from a now third rate world power?
There is a pattern here of love for autocracy.
While Russia's economy is not a major issue on a global scale, the fact that they are a major nuclear power
is.
They also have a lot of influence in a part of the world that is a potential flashpoint for WW III.
Such a country is not to be taken lightly, nor is it to be unnecessarily backed into a corner.
Only a leader or political party that wants to start a war that could lead to nuclear confrontation would disregard the above.
Putin is in a very powerful position, pretty much
the owner of Russia, and is therefore not to be dismissed as anything less than significant.
President Trump apparently understands this better than you do, and as such tries to maintain a cordial relationship with Putin and Russia.
He does not, by any means, kiss Putin's hindquarters -- to the contrary, he has posed stronger sanctions on Russia than his predecessor and has done a lot more towards arming Ukraine than Obama, who did nothing of the kind.
Remember Obama's "Tell Vladimir that I'll have more flexibility after the election?" It's interesting how you and the rest of the Democrats, including the mainstream media, tend to ignore that little hot mic incident on one hand, while slandering Trump with everything from collusion to being Putin's puppet.
No matter where evidence or lack thereof leads, your side just blathers a party line and keeps repeating the lie over and over until those who don't do their own research actually believe it. This is the essence of propaganda.
Face it, Eden, your entire left wing political platform is supported by a foundation of lies.
