Clinton: Trump gave 'aid and comfort' to Putin
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton repeatedly suggested during a Friday MSNBC interview that former President Donald Trump and members of the Republican Party were responsible for enabling Russian President Vladimir Putin in his aggression against Ukraine.
Appearing on "Morning Joe," Clinton accused Trump of "giving aid and comfort" to Putin amid the ongoing invasion of Ukraine and claimed Republicans were playing into the latter's ambitions to "undermine democracy" by viewing him as a strong leader who aligned with their values.
"We have to also make sure that within our own country we are calling out those people who are giving aid and comfort to Vladimir Putin, who are talking about what a genius he is, what a smart move it is, who are unfortunately being broadcast by Russian media, not only inside Russia, but in Europe to demonstrate the division within our own country," Clinton told host Mika Brzezinski, referencing Trump earlier this week calling Putin a "genius" and "very savvy" for how he was handling Ukraine, while adding Putin wouldn't have invaded if Trump was president.
"This is heartbreaking, but it’s also dangerous, and I think it’s time for what’s left of the Republican Party that has any common sense not just to say, OK, go help defend Ukraine against Putin, but to stand against those people in politics and government, in the media and elsewhere in our own country who are literally giving aid and comfort to an enemy of freedom and democracy," she later added, repeating the claim that they were giving "aid and comfort" to Putin.
"It can’t continue because it plays right into the ambitions of not just Putin, but also President Xi of China to undermine democracy, to literally divide and conquer the West

Says the woman who sold 20% of our uranium supply to the Russians.
Trump’s big mistake was that he did not arrest her, throw her in solitary without bail and let her have the DTs.
“... what’s left of the Republican Party ...”.
So out of the Alinsky pscho handbook. She’s so delusional. Who let her out?
The Republican party (or a spin-off) is strong and well.
According to Hillary and Pelosi and democrats in general, nothing has ever happened or will happen, without Trump and Russia together getting the blame. Without Trump, global warming would never have happened, and neither would the open borders policy of Biden or inflation or the American civil war. Somehow, any and all problematic issues, originated because of the Trump/Russia duo.
All this talk of Trump being a traitor for praising Putin makes you wonder how they feel about the following?
Oh wait .. they forgot to deep six all of those traitorous Putin platitudes from Biden?
(OOPS!)😭
Biden Praises Putin on World Stage, Trashes Trump and Republicans.
Putin is a ‘tough,’ ‘bright,’ and ‘a worthy adversary’
Shut up, Benghazi hag.

I’m thinking of Brian Blessed as Richard 4 — The Black Adder 1st season — proclaiming his intent to moon the inhabitants of a city.
You have outlined the Bilderburg Group and what they have agreed on after 70 years of meeting.
They want global power just like Hitler.
Trump said no. The USA will be the USA.
Aid & Comfort? How? Because Trump stated the obvious that Putin outfoxed President Doofus?

Trump’s proposed increase in US military spending is almost as big as Russia’s entire defense budget
"When you actually look at the substance of what this administration has done, not the rhetoric but the substance, this administration has been much tougher on Russia than any in the post-Cold War era," said Daniel Vajdich, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. Take military spending: Trump sought to add $1.4 billion for fiscal year 2018 to the European Deterrence Initiative — a military effort to deter Russian aggression that was initially known as the European Reassurance Initiative. That's a 41 percent increase from the last year of the Obama administration. The president also agreed to send lethal weapons to Ukraine — a step that Obama resisted. And Trump gave U.S. forces in Syria more leeway to engage with Russian troops. - from NPR no less. https://www.npr.org/2018/07/20/630659379/is-trump-the-toughest-ever-on-russia
