I don't like Trump either... I think his policies were good... bring the troops back from wars that are none of Americas business, and learn to trade and deal with Russia, but his implementation has been pathetic... the democrats have goaded him into the opposite policy with Russia to try to make himself look tough and strong... but tough and strong to his opponents is pointless because they will never respect you.
It makes more sense to ignore the goading from the democrats and make good deals with Russia and get things going and improve the economy of both countries with good trade and cooperation where both gain and develop and improve...
But no, he falls for it every time... Trump looks like he might talk to Putin and get some good trade things going and the Democrats call him Putins puppet and so he says the Skripal attack was Putin so here are the new US sanctions against Russia because it is highly likely they did this.
The country getting the most benefit is the UK and it is actually highly likely they made all this bullshit up.
What really annoys me is the Russians acting in kind to such stupidity.
If the west kicks out 50 Russian diplomats then the Russians should kick out 500 western diplomats.
The west is kicking out 50 because they think, without evidence, that Putin tried to have some people killed, so the response from Russia should be to kick out 250 diplomats (or all if they don't have 250) for being accused, convicted, and sentenced for a crime there is no proof they committed... from countries that claim to have innocent till proven guilty legal systems. That means without proof 50 Russian diplomats have been stopped from doing their jobs for no reason... the response should be at least double if not five times...
But Putin does not want to upset the rational people in the west, well the rational people in the west need to stop voting such
into office.
