George Bush used to drive Putin around his ranch in a pick-up and nobody called him a Russian puppet.

I also remember how afraid of the cows Colin Powell was.
Were they also the ones who compared their brands of toothpaste?
W looked into Putin’s soul!! And he was OKAY with W because they both had TWIN DAUGHTERS!
I remember Ronald Reagan horseback riding with Queen Elizabeth at
Windsor Castle.
It’s irrelevant just like Bush driving Putin around
and when 0bama told the Russians he have moar flexibility in his second term.

and Clinton gave the Russians a reset button so that Clinton could seel out all of the uranium

You think we would have been a better country with Gore and then Kerry rather than Bush?
That’s because they were busy calling him a puppet of Israel. I remember hearing that on the regular.
Man, even when he’s smiling, Vlad just oozes “sinister.” LOL!
I didn't think it was a big deal, either. I thought it was the right move. GWB was right to open a door to talks with Putin, and so is Trump.
Things were different back then!
People who have no pickups whine about those that do
Relations with Russia were genuinely improving during this post fall of the Soviet Union time period. Then the filthy, filthy, democrats started insulting and denigrating Russia and Putin and using it as a whipping boy for political purposes against Trump. No wonder Putin is pissed.
Of course they accused Bush of being a Russian puppet.
Remember when Obama told Romney, “The 1980s called, they want their foreign policy back.”
Wait a minute, I know that shrub was a disappointment, but do you really think that gore or lex luther would have been better?
The 2004 Orange Revolution coup that removed a Uke president was also during Dubya’s regime.
Like all of the other color revolutions that was our State Department at work.
In that case and in the 2014 Maidan coup we didn’t want Ukraine to have good relations with Russia.
It was the Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power, Vindman Twin crew advancing the neocon globa4thl empire while most of America slept and couldn’t find Ukraine on a map.
At least conservatives would have had enough sense to push back against Gore.
Bush wanted Ukraine in NATO, but the Euros said no.
