The Russians are following the same playbook they used to prop up their client dictator in Syria when the Arab Spring led to Syrians rising up to throw off their shackles. It's interesting that the Democrats who accuse Trump of colluding with Russia had no problem with Obama effectively supporting Russia's colonization of Syria even though that went against American interests.
That's not surprising since the last thing Democrats want to do is help Americans discover just how bad socialism ends up being. Of course since Democrats support socialism because the masters in a socialist society become very rich and the people become very poor it's clear that the Democrats don't care about we the people other than as subjects to be ruled over and exploited.
But now Russia has declared that it is colonizing Venezuela. The Russian Ambassador to Columbia has warned Columbia that any incursion into Venezuela would be considered a threat to peace; i.e. the Russians were telling the Columbians that they, the Russians, now own Venezuela and that they'd use military force against Colombia if Colombia were to say intervene if the government of Venezuela were to start slaughtering civilians the way the government of Syria did.
A good rule of thumb to use is that when Democrats accuse the rest of us of something it's not because we've done what they're accusing us of but because they're doing it and they want to blame us for what they're doing.
In this case Democrats say that Trump must be colluding with Russia because he says nice things about Putin.
Trump says nice things about Putin because Trump is trying to get Russia to make agreements with the US that benefit the US. You don't negotiate by insulting the person you're trying to negotiate with.
However Trump's actions in relation to Russia have always been about what's best for America. For example Trump:
1) Got Germany to cancel a massive natural gas deal with Russia which cost Putin billions.
2) Got NATO to significantly increase defense spending.
3) Increased sanctions on Iran to get them to stop nuclear weapon development.
4) Bombed the Russian client's air base in Syria in response to the Syrian government using chemical weapons against civilians.
5) Significantly increased US defense spending.
6) Provided lethal aid to Ukraine to help them fight off the Russian invasion.
7) Has told Russia to get their troops out of Venezuela.
8) Has increased sanctions on Russian entities.
Hence to say that Trump is Putin's stooge when everything Trump does, as oppose to some of the things he says, are the exact opposite of what Putin would want Trump to do is clearly wrong.
On the other hand Obama and Democrats today are doing things that help Putin. Case in point by being silent about the Russian colonization of Venezuela and by doing nothing about Russia effectively taking over Syria Democrats are doing precisely what Putin wants.
Which is not surprising in that both Putin and the Democrats are all about power over the people rather than power for the people.
