Trump left a but of an opening for Hillary’s lies when he was soft on Putin on the campaign trail. I will say that. Would you agree?
We shouldn’t adopt warlike rhetoric or anything...but I dont think a conciliatory tone is called for either.
Agreed but the thing about that is many candidates coming into The Office have expressed a willingness to be friendly with Russia. President Trump took that to the tenth level though. Obama started off by blaming bad relations solely on Bush.
I don’t blame Trump for because that is how we are as a people. Unfortunately Putin sees that as weakness.
“” “” BobL, Putin got rid of all independent media when he came into power. The media in Russia is state-run precisely so a coup won’t happen. There are zero opposing voices. Its all state propaganda, 24-7.”” “”
Yet, you are citing anti-government Russian media from both left and right way too often.
“BobL, Putin got rid of all independent media when he came into power. The media in Russia is state-run precisely so a coup won’t happen. There are zero opposing voices. Its all state propaganda, 24-7.”
Yep, so he wound up with Obama’s media - no different than here.
I think if you live there awhile, the differences will become much starker. And you’ll realize how good we have it...
Do you know how spoiled we are to have a President tweet us through his day?!
I’m not saying it’s better there, what I am saying is that we are in NO POSITION to complain about the media in Russia, when ours is and arm of a political party too. It is simply NO DIFFERENT.
