Trump and Russia

BYRON YORK: Trump and Obama: Who’s really tougher on Russia?

 

 

 

 

DEROY MURDOCK: The Russians Colluded Massively — with Democrats.

There is not enough proof of Russian collusion by Trump to fuel a stovetop pilot light.

 

In contrast, the evidence of Democratic collusion with Russia blazes on, even as Team Mueller ignores it.

• The Obama administration’s Russian Reset began in Geneva on March 6, 2009. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton huddled with Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, and together they pressed a red button that should have been labeled “Reset” in Russian. Instead, Hillary’s aides had mislabeled it with the Russian word for “Overload.” Regardless, once pushed, the button symbolized a red dawn of increasingly cozy U.S.–Russian affairs.

 

• Obama announced on September 17, 2009, that he would cancel President George W. Bush’s plan to station missile-defense systems in Poland and the Czech Republic. “This is a U-turn in U.S. policy,” complained former Czech ambassador to Washington Alexander Vondra. “Russia had furiously opposed the project, claiming it targeted Moscow’s nuclear arsenal,” added Luke Harding and Ian Traynor of London’s Guardian. “Obama’s climb-down is likely to be seen by Russia as a victory.”

 

Indeed, Vladimir Putin applauded Obama’s strategic abandonment of the Poles and Czechs. The Russian strongman said: “I do anticipate that this correct and brave decision will be followed by others.”

 

Plus, Obama had all that extra flexibility after his re-election.

 

 

There’s more DNC-Kremlin collusion at the link. Much more.

Obama also cancelled Bush's sanctions over S. Ossetia.

Quote

 

A former chief of staff to President Barack Obama said Sunday that the Senate’s top Republican insisted that a bipartisan appeal for states to step up election security in the face of Russian aggression be “dramatically watered down” before it was issued in advance of the 2016 election.

Denis McDonough said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was single-handedly responsible for downgrading the language in a letter “asking the states to work with us” to better secure election systems in light of intelligence indicating Russia was attempting to interfere in the election. McDonough complained that members of Congress have shown a “stunning lack of urgency about this question,” and he put the blame mostly on Republican leaders in Congress.

“The lack of urgency that we saw from the Republican leadership in 2016, we continue to see to this day today,” he said. “It’s beyond time for Congress to work with the administration, to work with the states, to ensure that our electoral systems are ready to go. This is not a game.”

Boris Johnson has claimed England could pull out of the World Cup if there is a proven link between Russia and the recent 'poisoning attempt' of a former spy.

 

Skripal, 66, and his 33-year-old daughter were exposed to what police said was an unknown substance in the English city of Salisbury. Both are still critically ill in intensive care.

 

"We don't know exactly what has taken place in Salisbury, but if it's as bad as it looks, it is another crime in the litany of crimes that we can lay at Russia's door," Johnson told the British parliament

Not even a chance.  Soccer is a religion over there.  England is less likely to pull out of the World Cup than Travis Henry is to just pull out.

Shouldn't this thread really be renamed Hillary and Russia?

 

Take your political agenda out of the equation for a minute and take in all of the information you can gather. It's pretty apparent the evidence seems much stronger against the left colluding with Russia way more than the right. 

 

But, of course, non-objective people will never see it that way.

God, you either are delusional or stupid. Take your pick.

 

That's what you got??? All you have said hasn't been proven in over a year and half, but continue on.

 

No wonder people hate the left. Accuse, deny, accuse, deny, accuse, deny.

 

I guess all the postings that DR has posted is nothing but pure BS, right? Give me a break with your biased crap.
