Trump's Bizarre Response to Putin's Reelection
"Sarah Sanders says the U.S. can’t “dictate” to other countries how to run themselves, but Trump has had no problems labeling governments elsewhere in the world repressive."

Look what happens when Trump puts a temperary travel ban 6 of the 7 countries Obama declared sponsors of terrorism.
Leftists will never like anything Trump does.

"Leftists will never like anything Trump does."
Probably not but that doesn't mean he's not in the tank for the Russians and the beneficiary of a massive push by the Russian state to interject itself into the politics of Western countries. I reckon they have something on him – maybe the alleged prostitute watersports video? Trump is nothing if not indiscreet

What did Obama do while Putin was invading countries? What were the leftist whining about?
NOTHING!!!! is the answer to that.

One simple answer for why the white house doesn't:
1. call Russian elections corrupt.
2. threatens to start a nuclear war over North Korean missiles but says nothing about Russian hyper-sonic missiles.
3. dragged kicking and screaming to make a weak and pathetic statement about Russian nerve gas assassinations in the UK.
4. denies Russian interference in the 2016 primaries and election, even though Russians have already been indicted and sanctions applied for that very reason.etc. etc. etc.
That simple answer is "golden showers tape".

The Russians were acting on both sides of the 2016 US elections.
They ran a lot of identity political and leftist sites, not just right-wing sites.
However, let's not forget how extremely biased mainstream and social media has been in favor of the left. CNN is no better than a Russian site.

What does calling the Russian elections corrupt accomplish? The only two elements of the Russian elections that are corrupt was having a potential opposing candidate and state run media media giving Putin overwhelming positive coverage. He could turn that against the US, arguing that US MSM picked sides, and Hillary tainted law enforcement and start asking what gives the US the moral authority.
Putting PR aside, Putin is incredible popular in Russia, according to most Western polling firms between a 72-79% approval rating. He was going to win this election regarless. We do need Russian help to end the Ukrainian and Syrian conflicts, and we need their ongoing assistance in combating terrorism. Remember, how they warned the US about the Boston bombers, but the FBI was incompetent? In International Affairs, calling out every single thing you don't like isn't productive. We should refrain from calling out BS, and call out only those things that we genuinely care about, the things that truly affect our relationship.

It's funny how people are whining about Russian elections, but silent on how EU elections are extremely undemocratic. EU elections are the almost exactly like the old USSR elections. Our MEPs vote for the 1 candidate allowed to run for President.

Russia is the only country standing in the way of the ever expanding power of EU and its unelected leaders ruling over Europe. Western Europe had promised not to include the Soviet block countries but has broken it. That's why Russia has become more aggressive.

It seems the butt hurt left are back to their old antics. They downvote everything their "enemies" say without having the balls to add to the conversation.
