    Medvedev, for one. Actually, here is a list:

    1. Obama opens his administration with an act of appeasement towards Russia right out of the gate by withdrawing our anti-ballistic missile defense shield in Eastern Europe. This was a big-time display of weakness for the whole world to witness, but especially for Russia as the recipient of this unilateral retreat.

    2. Obama gets caught on tape promising Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that "this is his last presidential election", and that he will have "more flexibility after the election." This was clearly yet another display of weakness towards the Russians.

    3. Obama announces a "red line" regarding Syria, and then later walks it back when that line was crossed. With Russia being the primary backer of Syria in the UN, this was a killer.

    4. Obama then turns the negotiations about Syrian chemical weapons over to Russia, one of the main sponsors of that outlaw state, who we now have to trust to oversee the implementation of that agreement (it will never happen). Although Obama still appears to be clueless about what he did here, this was devastating.

    5. Obama submits his 2015 federal budget proposal, which includes reductions in the size of the army to smallest since 1940, the smallest Navy since 1915 and the smallest air force in modern history. Of course Vladimir Putin would be made aware of this and would be quite pleased.

    6. The Russians take over the Crimea in response to Ukrainian unrest. Barack Obama makes weak threats and engages in empty posturing to no effect. Vladimir Putin clearly has no respect for Obama, and based on the history that Putin has witnessed (chronicled above), why should he?​

    There are more examples, including the Iran Nuclear deal and others. Perhaps someone else can chime in with some other examples.

    I think he is referring to Crimea? But of course it was Trump who recognized that as part of Russia.

    It's interesting he wants to call the Dems liars - perhaps an attempt to justify Trump's complete dishonesty and blatant lying to the American people about everything?

    Yes Trump has now given Iran that freedom to restart it's nuke program. That's really smart.

    The collusion truthers need to start apologizing for what they drug the country through the last two years. Instead of doubling down on conspiracy theories, read the key takeaway from the exhaustive Mueller report: no collusion.

    So you choose to not interact with the report. Good to know. And what about my post caused you to think I was in a frenzy?

    Also how is the report a dud? Surely you have reasons right?

    Funny since he was never charged with anything throughout this ordeal.

    It was a GOP investigation, led by a Republican, overseen by a republican, and started by a republican.

    Next.

    You never had a problem with it until the results didn't come back the way you wanted.

    Almost everyone on Mueller's team was a registered democrat.

    Apart from the total lack of concrete substance. Where are the charges? Where are the absolutes? Dud. That is what it is.
