Should be headline top news everywhere.

Instead it’s all Democrat navel gazing about how trumps going down and where they went wrong with Mueller.

From the article, personnel included cyber security personnel. I’m guessing electrical power specialists/engineers were sent as well.

Wow. Look how the president and Putin are colluding together to trick people into thinking that the president is not working for Russia.

Do I even need the /s?

“I’m guessing electrical power specialists/engineers were sent as well.”

They’ll be quite busy. I suspect the generators are trashed along with the support infrastructure.

Biden bragged about how Obama was going to be tested.

Obama failed every test.

Trump is being tested.

Stand by. Trump ain’t Obama.

French Guiana is just down the beach from Venezuela.

I’d pay good money to watch The French Foreign Legion fight it out with the Cubans.

I'm pretty sure we've frozen a bunch already. And, IIRC, Russia just offered the use of their new 'Swift' system for other countries to use. That may be one reason they're feeling a bit more adventurous.

How about last year or was it the YEAR BEFORE when Trump was talking with eastern European countries about deploying missile defenses there???

If that’s Putin’s idea of collusion, he’s not very good at it.
