The last administration wanted to partner with Russia economically because it was the second most promising economy in the BRIC after China. Everyone in America wanted that. The Magnitsky case threw all of this away, especially because EU and US saw what was going on in Ukraine. It (Magnitsky case) wasn't your regular internal corruption; the tentacles of the likes of especially Mogilevich, was far reaching into EU and US with political ramifications in the mix.

WMDs were fabricated by Bush admin. Trump connection with Russia was tipped off by British, German, Australian, Dutch and French intelligence. All about different subjects and different times. Must be a coincidence. 

OK, so let's say the Russian government did get involved. What do we do about it, go to war with a nuclear-powered nation?

What if I were to tell you Clinton also said Saddam had WMDs? Would you believe me?

What if I told you that Clowns are not creepy?

Don't be a war monger. The sanctions work properly. It rattles the cage of old Mishka, turned carnivore.

Mueller was in on it from the beginning. Rosenstien convinced Sessions to recuse himself then appointed Mueller. Now it is coming out that Rosenstein had a hand in the illegal surveillance of the Trump campaign (He signed several of the bogus FISA request). 

They knew they had nothing on Russia, so Rosenstein recommended Comey be fired and then appointed Mueller to investigate Trump's obstruction of justice he committed by firing Comey. How fucked up is that. 

Kyle Kulinski: Why is it a big deal if Russia invades a NATO country and we do nothing about it? We shouldn't be taking that country into NATO anyway so it's not worth it to defend them. Why is it a big deal if Russia hacks government secrets and selectively leaks what helps their interests and we do nothing about it? The public has a right to know this information so it's not a big deal who is leaking things.

I mean, I can sort of understand the viewpoint of someone who denies that these things happened or might happen. But to say it happened but it's not a problem ... I don't see how that can be anything other than dangerously naive. If NATO is too big, that's not a problem we should solve by abandoning treaty obligations. If leaked information is worth having in an era of massive overclassification and oversurveillance, that doesn't mean we shouldn't care who is hacking into our government.

I still want to know from the "Trump stole the election via collusion with Russia" conspiracy mongers why Russia was brushed off as a non-factor during most of the Obama administration (mainly from '09-'12 when Hillary Clinton was SoS and was BFFs with Russia) and yet now they have magically become our #1 geopolitical threat after Hillary blew the election?

How's that "reset button" working out for you guys?

"The 1980s called, they want their foreign policy back!" - President Barack Obama's quip to candidate Mitt Romney during one of the 2012 election debates after Romney argued that Russia was one of if not THE biggest threats to our national security interests.  Obama in reply had to dig up Al Qaeda as the real boogeyman, despite the fact that OBL had been dead for over a year, AQ was a disjointed mess, and the post-Arab Spring Middle East had been thrown into chaos with power vacuums in failed states like Libya (which Obama helped destabilize) being filled by the likes of ISIS.

“This is my last election … After my election I have more flexibility,” Obama said, expressing confidence that he would win a second term. “I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” said Medvedev, Putin’s protégé and long considered number two in Moscow’s power structure. https://www.snopes.com/obama-more-flexibility-russia/

Gee, imagine if Trump was caught on a hot mic prior to the election talking to Putin or some other high ranking official from Russia promising "more flexibility" after the election, presuming he would emerge as the winner.

So what you are saying is that Sessions and Trump are complete morons that are easily manipulated? And why did Trump claim Rosenstein had nothing to do with the firing of Comey, that it was all Trumps decision? The conspiracy was so advanced that they could literally guide Trump´s brain to do their bidding? =)

And no, there hasn´t been any illegal surveillance of the Trump campaign. If you are referring to the GOP Fisa memo, it revolves around Carter Page, not Trump.

You should get your history description correct: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/barack-obama-threatens-russia-with-sanctions-after-crimea-referendum-9196018.html
