#TrumpRussia @RepAdamSchiff @olgaNYC1211 A lot of people think @realDonaldTrump is a #Grinch, but just look at all the wonderful presents he gave to his BFF #VladimirPutin
1/When Trump shrugged off brutal murder & dismemberment of WaPo's #JamalKhashoggi and disputed Saudi Crown Prince #MBS's role, #Putin loved it and responded by giving #MBS celebratory high-five.cnn.com/2018/11/20/pol…
2/Similarly, @realDonaldTrump said that even though Russia may have murdered dissidents, journalists, and others critical of #Putin, it wasn't a problem because "it's not in our country." washingtonpost.com/politics/putin…
3/In Dec, when Russia seized Ukrainian ships in the #kerchstrait in effort to turn #Ukraine into a landlocked nation, NATO supported Ukraine's sovereignty. So what did @realDonaldTrump do. In his tweets, he criticized NATO, not #Putin. economist.com/europe/2018/12….
4/ Fiddling while Kiev burns, @realDonaldTrump allows #Putin to escalate Ukraine conflict. https:washingtonpost.com/world/2018/11/… rferl.org/a/russia-repea…
5/As for those pesky sanctions, even tho Oleg #Deripaska is on the list, Trump moved to ease sanctions against #Rusal, his aluminum company, in effect, according to @LloydDoggettTX "sliding another big gift under Vladimir Putin's #Christmas tree.
6/ And don't forget the Middle East. When Trump stunned the world by announcing withdrawal of US troops from #Syria, he made #Putin "the undisputed international powerbroker in the war-torn country." independent.co.uk/news/world/ame….
