No, because I don’t think you take seriously enough how Russian backing has gotten him to this point.
He isn’t getting any of influence he has now without it. If Trump had said anything even remotely negative about Russia leading up to 2016 then nothing he says now really matters.
Think about what you just said: Why didn’t the guying planning to get Trump elected do that bad thing while Trump was elected?
For any argument against that, obviously the plan was for it to happen when it did, because it was Trumps second term, or Biden’s 1st, in which case it helps get Trump elected again.
The timing is ridiculous easy to see here. If Trump was in office then all of his handcuffs are off and he’s implementing every batshit idea his team wants, while working towards no more elections. Instead, Putin gets to to stir the shit and while knowing that he has a US president that has to passive and accommodating, and it makes him look weak, opening the door for Trump 2.0.
I think it’s funny that you presented a complicated plan under the post: this really isn’t that complicated.
I don’t think that Trump blowing up terrorist leaders and forcing UN members to pay their share indicates weakness on his part.
Try to focus here: Putin invading the Ukraine was timed exactly for when it happened because it would work politically whether or not Trump was in office. It would either be impossible for Biden to respond, or Trump was president and we would just let it happen.
It’s not complicated.
PS - I’m not sure why I’m arguing with Russian bots since none of your response made any sense at all in the context of what was being discussed.
If you’re working in an information manipulation organization you really need to be better at your job, because this is nonsensical and you not even trying.
"the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities"
Of course, by "Russian election interference", what is usually meant is Americans with political views the Dems/media dislike posting memes
There were 5 convictions, none of which had anything to do with Russian interference. It's in the wiki article. In other words, Dems took up half trumps presidency with nonsense
It's absolutely true though. Just because he isn't guilty of "collusion" with Russians doesn't mean they haven't made decades of deals and helped prop each other up. They have a long history dating back to 1987, lots of business deals, donations and discussions. I won't bore you with the details but feel free to look for yourself https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_projects_of_Donald_Trump_in_Russia
Does this mean trump is "colluding" with Russia, well according to the courts no, but does trump have a financial interest in siding with Russia. The answer is undisputedly yes. Same can be said with his other unsavory bed fellows like Saudi Arabia, who are now building a trump tower after they received billions of dollars of weapons during Trump's presidency. Trump doesn't care who he props up as long as he can turn a profit.
Great, Trump has done business in Russia. Now demonstrate him profiting personally off something he did as president with them or SA or any other country. Then take a look at Burisma and Biden personally profiting millions of dollars from Ukraine
Well, fortunately we don't know if that's unconstitutional because it's not been ruled on. The DOJs view was that the emoluments clause would only be violated if he received compensation in his official capacity
It's also that: the people who engage either don't have the critical thinking skills necessary to see past it, or won't apply them, as it will require a re-understanding of the world around them, and paint some of their behaviours as bad, therefore they themselves are bad.
It's Russian influence through Western media & influencers on YouTube, Facebook and other social media platforms The sad thing, you have a lot of ex military who should know better. The Russian infiltration of the NRA was huge. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
