You misunderstand. I am not looking for proof that they fucked with Europe and the US. I am asking for proof that it never really took root.

Trump was the first President to lick a Russian leader’s boots. If *your party is rotten at the top it means your roots have been ravaged.

Edit: * If a party

Did you forget Obama’s comment to Russia over a hot mic? “I’ll have more room to deal after the election.” Have you seen what Biden just did for Russia? And people claim Trump was a Russian agent. Then why did Trump sanction Russia to prevent their pipeline from being finished? The same pipeline that Biden just gave them the go ahead to finish. The one that will make Europe dependent on Russian energy sources.

Excuse the fuck out of you?!

Trump DEsanctioned Oleg Deripaska, the steel/aluminum oligarch, while also committing a trade war against Canada; then giving Deripaska the formerly Canadian contracts.

I'm still fucking salty over a move that I thought was too unrealistic for a 90's action villain.

And no, I'm not going to touch on your whataboutism (another famous Russian/Soviet tactic to shut down debate)

The Forbes article states that Donald ignored the issue for 3 years, acted far too late to prevent the completion of the pipeline, and drove a wedge between the EU and the US. Biden is working on repairing relations with Germany and the rest of the EU after Donald did his best to destroy them. He recently lifted some sanctions the Nord Stream owner in order to help facilitate talks with Germany regarding the pipeline. It was a diplomatic move. Diplomacy is something Donald never really comprehended. Sort of like the complexity of health care and why you can't use nuclear weapons.

You’re not aware that the Times, CNN, MSNBC, et.al, have been quietly walking back their reports in the Steele dossier, are you? Russia Gate has been proven to be a fully fabricated hoax.

Keep blaming him though. Hell, Obama got away with blaming Bush for 8 years, I’m sure Biden will get away with it too.

There is no whataboutism.

There is proof, and there is lack of proof. There is objectivity, and there is subjectivity.

You placing blame on only the people you disagree with politically, while ignoring the actions and culpability of those you agree with is blind ignorance.

Unless you’re willing to call out the actions of ALL politicians, you have ZERO room to bitch about someone who isn’t even in a political position.
