Thread. Feel like far more attention needed to all the ways President Trump has attempted to align himself with the foreign policy positions of Vladimir Putin in just the past few months. First, Afghanistan: rferl.org/a/taliban-envo…
After speaking to Putin, Trump dramatically changed his Administration's position on Venezuela, saying he and Putin "feel the same way" on the country. abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump…
Trump's aggressive support of Brexit makes no sense from an American national security standpoint, but is one of Russia's most important foreign policy goals. cnn.com/2018/10/12/per…
Trump's main goal at the recent G7 meeting, of all things, seemed to be about getting Putin back in and legitimizing his global aggression. cnn.com/2019/08/27/pol…
Trump's Syria pullout, or whatever it was that he did, was seen as another gift to Russia (and its ally, Iran). nytimes.com/2018/12/20/wor…
And now, by softening his position on Iran, he appears to be choosing his buddy Vlad over his former buddies MBS and Bibi. nytimes.com/2019/09/11/wor…
Even the way he raided the Pentagon budget to pay for his way is helping Putin. thedailybeast.com/trump-raids-fu…
His back of the hand to Ukraine a few weeks ago was also seen as another huge gift to Russia. politico.com/story/2019/08/…
The burying of the Mueller report was one of Trump's most significant gifts to Putin. beta.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
That Trump and #MoscowMitch have blocked common sense efforts to make it harder for Russia to once again interfere in our elections is of course another remarkable gift to Putin. beta.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
Reviewing this thread, is there really any other explanation for Trump's actions other than he is appeasing, working for Putin? How about hearings and an investigation into whether our President is loyal to the United States and demand he testify in public about it all?
12/New developments, thread update.
Trump backs off military confrontation with Putin-aligned Iran, softens US position even though the Saudis "pay cash." Backing away fr military engagement consistent w/recent alignment of US interests w/Russia.
