They are doing Chinas bidding.
That and Putin and Trump are now allies against the derps.
Every bit of this Russia Russia Russia psyop is intended to keep Trump and Putin from working together.
But make no mistake. They ARE working together.
And that is a good thing.
Trump and Putin are nationalists; they both deeply believe that their country is the greatest nation on earth.
Trump, because of the American people.
Putin, because of the Russian military might.
I think that Trump expressed this in their first meeting and that they should hold the line on China’s world-dominance plans.
China, believes that they /can become the greatest nation on earth/ by virtue of their economic strength.
So, yes, they are “working together against Chy-nah” in their outward acts of deflecting animus and maintaining political tension.
Optics.
Let's put it this way, RUSSIA isn't exactly our ally either.
