does that strike you as being tough on russia?
See sidedish's post earlier for what I mean about Trump being tough on Russia.
Trump is a very savvy guy when it come to personal relationships and he knows how to get things done. If he has to stroke Putins ego a bit then so be it. And I mean, isn't Coats the same guy who endorsed the idea that Iraq had WMD's?
Yeah, I admit Trump probably shouldn't have thrown him under the bus like that but ya know Trump is a guy who is going to say what's on his mind. And I guess he has some doubts about some of intelligence's work, and who wouldn't!
I honestly just find this to be blown way out of proportion and there's just tons of fake outrage going around because they see this as a "We finally got him" moment they pray for every single day. Meanwhile it was just two world leaders trying to improve relations. Shit, the Russians see us a huge threat to their way of life just as we see them as a threat to ours. Putin is a guy who looks at dealings with the US from a truly historical perspective. You hear the guy talk and he references stuff that happened 100 years ago.
Meanwhile in the US, it's just all about taking down Trump.
If Hillary had won the election none of this stuff about meddling would be in the news at all and it just reeks of hypocrisy and a witch hunt.
