US counterintelligence task force established by the CIA Director John Brennan in 2016 to investigate a recording was apparently passed by “one of the Baltic States” alleging Russian funding of President-elect Donald Trump's presidential campaign… The task force included the FBI, the Treasury and Justice Departments, the CIA, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the National Security Agency (NSA), “SNIPP”

A “dossier” created by an opposition research project funded by anti-Trump Republicans teamed with Clinton Democrats circulated by Sen. John McCain of Arizona Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada and later presented by the intelligence community, to Trump, President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, top lawmakers on intelligence matters, known as the "gang of eight, CNN and NBC last week.

The globalists (which includes our government/CIA) want WWIII. They are hell bent on the US attacking Russia to kick it off. Trump is not a globalist. He’s not interested in a world war.

The globalists are losing Europe and war is a good way to change the subject.

It couldn’t be more obvious that Putin is attempting to restore the Soviet Union, or something close to it. In fact, with the addition of the oil/gas-rich Middle East, they may ultimately become even more of a threat than the old evil empire that was the Soviet Union.

That be true, but today’s Russia came about after the fall of Communism which effectively destroyed the Soviet Union.

There was a flood of Progressive tears when that happened and Trump’s Victory has burst the Dam once more.

(Yes, I am aware that Communism will never go away, it just hibernates in the Bowels of the DNC and their sycophants around the World, aka The United Nations)

It's pretty obvious that Putin's attempting to restore the evil empire that was the Soviet Union, whether eventually communist or not. In fact, with the addition of the oil/gas-rich Middle East it might well pose even more of a threat. The guy is a ruthless dictator, has his political opponents murdered, backs most of our enemies (still to this day), and is an increasingly aggressive expansionist. Trump's VP, Mike Pence, and AG, Jeff Sessions, get it. As does Ted Cruz and every other conservative leader I'm aware of. I think even Trump himself now more fully gets it. I wasn't so sure during much of the campaign last year. But with his pick of Pence for VP, I'm far more comfortable about him than I was then.

For their views of Putin, see my earlier posts or my FR home page.

naahhh, just BS

Even if he did, is there anyone here so naive to actually believe that Putin *truly* wanted Trump over Hillary? After all, it was the Obama-Hillary admin who handed him everything he wanted and likely more in the areas of all-important missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal that Putin loves so much and boasts to have played a major role in. This while they, the Obama-Hill admin, systematically decimated OUR military. Yeah, Putin preferred Trump-Pence. /s

It seems to have gotten even more intense, after the inauguration.
