    Hasn't the United States played world police long enough? Ukraine was Russia prior to 91. Palestine was a country before 1947. ISIS was born out of a power vacuum when US withdrew from Iraq,a place we shouldn't have gone in the first place. Putin is no more corrupt than our own presidents,past and future. He's just more honest to the world in his corruption.

    Palestine was not a country before 1947.
    UN resolution 181 of 1947 took away large swaths of land from the east and west of the Jordan River to help create today's Jewish state. I think Palestine was a country prior to US interference.
    Nope
    Wrong
    Palestine was never an independent state prior to 1947.
    It was controlled by different ruling countries that changed many times over the centuries.
    The British controlled it
    The Ottoman Empire
    The Romans controlled it
    The Arabs
    And so on and so forth

    Yup!
    Putin knows what a narcissistic idiot Trump is, and he is going to take full advantage of that. Putin's going to play Trump and his giant ego like a fiddle. If it weren't so pathetic and worrisome it would be hilarious.

    Putin used diplomacy to his advantage (at best), he did not take advantage. Putin didn't play Obama because Obama is too smart for that. Trump, however, is not.

    You won't call it taking advantage, you'll say trump is doing what Putin tells him to do.

    This is 8 years of an imploding Russian reset. A clear demonstration of Obama's smarts.

    If Trump is as negligent on Russian as Obama was I will hammer him hard for it. Believe me.

    Please define "8 years of an imploding Russian reset", and explain how Putin played Obama.

    Putin has allegedly hacked the DNC and the Clinton campaign. He is making moves against US interests in Syria.

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/08/01/as-obama-dithers-syrian-rebels-in-aleppo-brace-for-putin-s-onslaught.html

    The American foreign policy establisment seems to agree on this. Is this news relevant to the current administration or is this something just to be used to score political points against Trump? Is Obama a lame duck or does he have a plan to deal with this? If the above is true then these are the questions people should be asking. Last I checked Obama is still President and his administration has the responsibility to respond. What is his response? Does he have one? Or is he going to just ride this out for the next President to deal with? This will be his legacy.

    To quote myself from this thread in August...

    A lot of phony outrage now that the election didn't turnout the way many liked.

    Putin: Russian investors contributed $145M to Clinton Foundation, I'm uncertain any monies from mother Russia Russia Russia were contributed to Trump or any of his organizations.
