OBVIOUSLY the Russians would have a million times wanted Hillary, Obama, or Joe, in the White House instead of Trump! For many obvious reasons.
It’s not at all obvious. Like all sane people they wanted Trump who didn’t despise them over Hillary who pushes homosexuality, tried to launch a color revolution in 2011, attacked their ally in Syria, and was openly discussing shooting down Russian planes over Syria. But like everyone else, they expected Hillary to win. So they stayed out.
They knew any support for Trump would be spun like it was 1955, and if Hillary won as expected, things would be rough for 8 years.
But what they wanted was Trump, who wanted to stop our war in Syria and support of ISIS and Rebels. Trump wanted trade, deals, and a good relationship. Most of all Trump hated the globalists.
Globalist leaders hate Trump. Putin is a pure nationalist. Men like Putin, the leaders of Mexico, Brazil, Japan, and India all liked him. Intensely nationalist leaders liked Trump.
Just curious, are you even an American?
