POUTS undermines our defenses:
- shuts down foreign aid, the engine of our soft power in other countries
- cripples the State Dept by bypassing it and failing to hire
- Contradicts the CIA, leaking secrets
- Targets (mostly Republican) FBI leaders
¦
1/
- Weakens our elections security
- Always denied that Russians attacked our 2016 elections, but offered no reasons (e.g. his "would/wouldn't" speech)
- Granted nat'l security clearances to 25 high-risk staff over objections
- Lied about fin'l entanglements w/ Russia
¦
2/
- Tried to lift tade sanctions vs Chinese tech co's that:
. Could thwart our defense telecomm'ns, per MI6 report (Huawei)
. Ignored our trade sanctions vs North Korea (ZTE)
- Disbanded FBI anti-terrorism team tracking white nationalists
- Took US Nazis off terrorism list
3/
- Manufactured a border "crisis" by cutting off foreign aid to Central America, destabilizing those countries and causing a refugee exodus as a distraction, and to justify a boondoggle for his wall construction co donors
- Attacks Muslims, fueling terrorist recruiting
¦
4/
After all that, if you someone you know still thinks POUTS is "protecting our nation", they may need an intervention involving cult deprogramming.

- Repeatedly undermined NATO and attacked our allies, even classifying Canada as a national security risk. This weakens our ability to deter further Russian expansion into the Ukraine and Baltic states

- Almost extradicted US Ambassador McFaul and CIA Russian counterintelligence experts on Putin's hit list at Putin's request
- Failed to respond to Russia and China's expansion into Africa, where they are securing exclusive access to critical infrastructure & resources.
