Trump did not collude with Russia to win the election. On the contrary, the evidence continually proves it was in fact the Democrats, the passive GOP establishment, the media, and the Deep State which have in fact been the ones exhibiting Russia-style, KGB copy-cat behavior.
It was Democrats like Hillary Clinton who gave 20% of our uranium away in exchange for $145 million of Russian oligarch donations to the Clinton Foundation. (And this is just one example. As nobody seems to want to talk about how much money she herself invested in Russian projects and their nascent tech sector.) So, Russia, and more specifically, dirty Russian money has come home to us, courtesy of them.
They are the ones in co-hoots doing Putin's dirty work for him: undermining the very institutions which are supposed to keep us from decaying into an authoritarian, corrupt crony-network system of power sold out to the interests and back accounts of select, embezzling elites - which is exactly how Putin's Russia operates.
It was the enemies of Trump turning America into a modern-day Russian kleptocracy. It's Trump who is draining the swamp. And with all the lies and artificial chaos swirling around designed to catch the people off guard, rig our elections, get people in line with the propaganda spewed by the media talking heads - we get a taste of what is considered "normal, daily" political life in places like Russia. And you can thank the American Left for that.

Wasn't it Hitler or one of his henchmen who said that if you repeat a lie long enough the people will believe it?
Yeah, that was Hitler. He was a scumbag psychopathic murderer of millions of people.
The lamestreamers are counting on him for advice?
Russia, Russia, Russia.
Ho hum.
The coup happened on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009.
What is going on now is the struggle to re-establish the Constitution and the rule of law.

I think ‘more flexibility’ is the term Obama used.
this is exactly why I am skeptical of Russia-haters. How much has been ginned-up by our contemptible, biased media on behalf of the Clintons and the Deep-Staters behind her?
Yes, Putin is a traditional dictator, and his role, as he sees it, is to be the head mobster, making sure the oligarchs under him don’t get out of control.
Is Russia a threat to America? Is CNN combined with Obama/Clinton and a politically weaponized FBI a threat to America?
The Russian elites want to undermine the West at every turn. The problem is: they have a vested interest in keeping the corruption here *alive* because of all their money stored in bank accounts in the U.S. and in other Western countries.
But now that Trump has come in, the system they’ve relied on, and which has faithfully delivered for them is being shaken. (Or rather, the rules that should have been in place the whole time are suddenly being enforced.)
As for average (non-oligarch) Russian people aka (99.9 percent of their population) - the Kremlin propaganda media machine relies on American instability to distract Russians from their own.
The biggest threat to Putin is a stable, well-run, economically thriving America living up to our principles. Because we then only serve to expose the fraudulent, corrupt, decrepit nature of his own state of affairs . And the more his people become attuned to this this reality, the more the stirrings for change among the Russian populace crescendo.
Funny thing is that even in their own polls over 40% of democrats like Trump.
You can fool all the people some of the time, and you can fool some of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.
To quote from M.A.S.H., ----
Hawkeye: That was supposed to be a secret, Radar. How could you tell that to Hotlips and Frank?
Radar: I couldn’t help it. They dragged it out of me!
Hawkeye: Dragged it out of you? How?
Radar: By listening!
The biggest threat to US Literals agenda of destroying our constitution, is a stable, well-run, economically thriving Russia living up to what once was our principles.
Of course the other threat is Trump. His initial approving comments regarding Putin stirred up USSR haters world wide against the new Russia..
Trump is on a roll and with oil prices on the up tick so is Putin.
Hopefully more success to both. It would be a coalition that can save what was the western world.
Well American Liberals are clueless because they have more in common with Russia (especially its elites) than not.
I don’t think you understand the real Russia or the sorry state of its official religion. Ex KGB cheats run even the Orthodox Church and the genuine faithful do not rise up the ranks. That was my observation while there. Thick facades and religious symbols, when the substance is still Soviet decay and rot. Just like the Kremlin.
Always throwing stones at the West, when in fact they’re the ones long overdue for a spiritual makeover.
Promoting abortion, homosexuality, same sex marriage, ridiculing Christianity is not what the Russians are doing. Just the opposite.
LOL :)
I suggest you look up the abortion, divorce, and HIV rates in Russia. Also male mortality. Did you know 1/4 of Russian men die before the age of 60? Alcoholism is getting better with each passing generation though. Did you know Russia *currently* has the 3rd fastest growing HIV rate in the world and the highest rates of infection in Europe with an estimated 1% of the population infected as of 2016?
Also look up the sad, tragic history of abortion in Russia, the first country to legalize the practice in the modern world in the 1920s and the Soviet legacy has been very difficult to break.
Things ARE getting better, and in fact: Western influence has a lot to do with this. Sure people point to increased use of contraceptives, which barely existed in the USSR -> but I witnessed firsthand American Christians introducing Russians to Western-inspired pro-life activist methods, crisis pregnancy counseling and centers etc...
Up until recently the country's been only second to China in having the highest abortion rate in the world. Just in the past few years did births start to outnumber abortions there...Birthrates are also getting bit better. (If you didn't know Russia is facing a major demographic crisis.) Though in 2017 the birthrate dipped again likely due to poor economic conditions.
Russian Muslims on the other hand make up about 15% of the population, have no alcoholism issues and steady birthrates.
You should look up Putin's recent comments on keeping abortion legal, to the dismay of some believers:
Vladimir Putin as Pro-Choice Stalls Anti-Abortion Momentum

You should also look up some things he said comparing Christianity to communist ideals, and Lenin's preserved body in Red Square to "saintly relics." -- To which one brave Orthodox priest in Siberia called him out for blasphemy.
Russian Orthodox Bishop Warns Faithful Not to Vote for 'Dark' Putin

She entered the chapel of this monastery and looked at all the hanging chandeliers which had been donated by the Royals as a token of their respect and support.
She saw one that was not ornate and it had a more modern look to it than the others. She looked for the plate that would indicate who the donor was.
She read that it was donated by Vladimir Putin and his wife.
Now, if he were an evil genius, why would he bother to donate a chandelier to an obscure though historically important monastery?
I think Putin is a better man than we have been led to believe from the Obama Administration, Hillary, John McCain and all the flunkies in the LameStreamMedia.
Vladimir Putin and his wife divorced in 2013. She now lives in France with her new fabulously young and wealthy husband. Their daughters never appear in public and have for the most part of Putin’s tenure, not lived in Russia either. They’ve lived lavishly in the decadent, leftist Western countries the likes of Holland.
Even the worst of the Soviets maintained some semblance of Orthodox symbolism alive. And no I don’t Putin in that category, but the standards for what constitutes statesmanship in Russia are pretty low historically.
Russia’s real heroes are buried in mass graves, and their memory still has yet to be honored properly. The stories of THEIR lives are overshadowed right now with bombastic overtures to the greatness of Stalin and “The Great Patriotic War” effort, which Putin has hinged the pride of his people on following the Soviet collapse.

Well said. Those who wish to hate the USSR back into existence should have to be the only ones that live with the consequences. Unfortunately, that will not be so.
