Tom handled the foreign policy aspects, but another big accommodation was economic. The press lapped up Obama's role in pushing for sanctions, which weren't really effective in hurting Russia. Saudi Arabia did far more harm by maintaining its oil output, which earned it a spot on Russia's hit list. And in six months, Trump's moves to expand US energy production is putting a major hurt on Russia's only viable industry.
That alone should shut the morons up that Trump is a Russian plant. If he was, he'd go even further than Obama did in killing domestic oil & gas production and distribution. Yet, he went 180 from the prior policies.
