With the election lost by the candidate that won the popular vote and all the disruption going on in American politics around a weak President, Putin I would think will be giving some of his intelligence community medals for a job well done as make no mistake Putin has won a great battle on American soil and it seems is pulling some strings in the White House.

As Trump is threatening to withdraw from NATO, Trump is withdrawing from Syria with Putin moving in, and America's attention is moving away from Russia and towards China.

Trump repeatedly praises Putin, Putin has Trump on the end of a piece of string, it would have been very different if Hillary had won she would not be pushed around by Putin they apparently have previously crossed swords in the past, it seems like Putin has managed to side line Hillary via probable interference in the election possibly resulting in Hillary losing and he now has somebody he seemingly can manipulate at will in charge in the White House.
Maybe you need to coax lardy & cyril out of retirement, as they are well known for promoting that sort of thing.
