I have the suspicion that it wasn’t fear of Trump that kept Putin from acting but rather that in some way, Putin saw him as almost an ally.
Trump was not a Deep State/WEF/NWO/globalist. He was working hard to keep the US out of those affairs and making us independent in many ways, which I am sure annoyed the heck out of Soros, Schawb, Gates, the Deep state, et al.
Therefore Putin did not see the need to act as long as the globalists were not making any progress. They were no threat to Russia.
Now that Trump has been ousted and the Deep State entrenched in DC, the global cabal can move ahead with their plans and Putin sees that as a threat and decided that it’s time to act before it’s too late.
That’s my speculation on what is going on.
Mine too. You are not alone in your thinking.
I wonder at times how much further ahead our country (and the world) would be if he had been allowed to take his rightful place as POTUS.
Mine too. Trump and Putin are both against the NWO,one world govt globalist. Rightfully so, I am too. Trump saw Putin as possible someone he could work with because he respected his position and Putin respected Trump’s. Jmo
