Yeah, Nancy who chose China over Putin and when Xi told Pelosi to put one of his puppets on the Intelligence committee, Pelosi chose Eric Swalwell and Diane Feinstein had her Chinese driver taken away after only 20 years of sharing secrets with China.
Putin's puppet who sold tank and Russian soldier killing Javelin missiles to Ukraine? Never removed sanctions on Russia and encouraged European nations to stop buying oil and gas from Russia? Bad, Bad, puppet, worst puppet ever..

For over a year, President Trump has been under investigation for possible collusion with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. Supposedly, there was a quid pro quo — Putin would help Trump get elected and Trump would facilitate Putin’s global ambitions. While hundreds of investigators spending millions of dollars have examined possible Russian interference in the 2016 election, little attention has been paid to the other half of the supposed bargain.
In other words, has Trump helped Russia? The economic, political and diplomatic evidence supports a negative view — Trump’s actions have severely damaged Putin’s Russia.
The collapse of energy prices since 2014 devastated the Russian economy. It is generous to call Russia an industrial state. It is more like a developing country in that its exports are dominated by raw materials such as energy, metals and wood products. Until recently, Russia was the world’s second largest oil exporter — after Saudi Arabia — and the world’s largest natural gas exporter. These energy exports, primarily to Europe, provide not only a substantial portion of the Russian government’s revenues but also leverage for pressuring foreign governments. As Poland, Slovakia and the Ukraine have discovered during the last half decade, defy Russia and expect a cold dark winter when Russia cuts your energy supply.
It is ironic that the fracking revolution that greatly contributed to the collapse of world energy prices began during President Obama’s administration. Obama had adopted multiple policies to wean the United States from dependence on fossil fuels by blocking oil drilling on public lands, opposing construction of pipelines, financing multiple clean-energy initiatives, and imposing severe restrictions on coal. However, the private sector’s fracking revolution led to a 40 percent increase in U.S. oil production and the collapse of world energy prices.
It was expected that if Hillary Clinton had become president, she would have continued Obama’s anti-fossil fuel policies and, despite fracking, eventually the world would have experienced a return to $100-a-barrel oil. However, Trump has successfully reversed many of Obama’s energy policies, which is expected to result in a decade or more of low prices for oil, natural gas and coal. The adverse economic impacts on Russia are severe: lower exports, reduced government revenues, slower economic growth and higher unemployment. Low energy prices also weaken Russian attempts to threaten its neighbors with energy embargos. In addition, reduced government revenues will make it more difficult to finance Putin’s foreign aid and defense programs.
Further weakening Russia’s influence in Europe and the Middle East are the Trump decisions to provide military aid to the Ukraine and Baltic states, as well as to pressure other NATO members to increase defense expenditures. Meeting these challenges will require money that Russia will find it difficult to raise. After all, the Russian economy is one-fifth the size of that of the United States and, in fact, is smaller than that of Germany. The combination of lower revenues as a result of lower energy prices and increased fiscal expenditures to meet U.S. and NATO challenges has put Putin’s Russia in a difficult situation.
Where does this leave the accusations of Trump-Putin collusion? One explanation is that Trump broke the supposed agreement after he was elected, which means that the strongman of Russia was outwitted by a former reality TV star. In this case, one would expect an angry Putin to get revenge by revealing the supposed agreement in order to ruin Trump. But such a reveal has not occurred. Maybe the other alternative is more plausible. There was no collusion, no agreement between Trump and Putin. President Trump is just doing two things that Republican presidents usually do — support the energy industry and oppose Russia.
But you Tsmokies are to ignorant to know this or did you know this but "shrewdly" stuck to the narrative connecting Trump to Russia because it was perhaps the second best thing to accuse Trump of behind the favorite "racist".
Literally nothing Trump ever did helped Putin other than refusing to say Putin might have helped him get elected because to Trump that would be an admission that he conspired with Russia to win and with the help of Bob Mueller and declassified documents, we know that isn't true.
But you think that argument works well for you, completely oblivious to the facts that make informed people laugh at your ignorance but then, ignorance is bliss, right?

"the number one purpose of Russia was to sow discourse in American politics". In other words, hurt both political candidates.

Debunking That Trump-Putin Thing
The Trump-Putin Fallacy
In the earlier months of the Donald Trump campaign, many people I knew asked me to comment on the similarities between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Recently I have been asked to comment on direct connections between Trump and Putin. And now, with the release of nearly 20,000 emails apparently stolen from the Democratic National Committee’s email server by Russian hackers, has come the suggestion that Putin may actually be interfering in the US election to help get Trump elected. These ideas—that Trump is like Putin and that he is Putin’s agent—are deeply flawed.
Imagine that your teenage child has built a bomb and has just set it off in your house. The house is falling down all around you—and you are blaming the neighbor’s kid, who threw a pebble at your window. That’s what the recent Putin fixation is like—a way to evade the fact that Trump is a thoroughly American creation that poses an existential threat to American democracy.
Though no direct connection to Putin, let alone Trump, has yet been shown, the hacked DNC emails have played into a growing theory in the American media that Trump is an instrument of Putin. In recent days and weeks there has been a series of articles that seek to link Trump to the Russian leader. In Slate, Franklin Foer described Trump as Putin’s “plan for destroying the West” and listed all available evidence of Trump’s ties to Russia: he has pursued a series of aborted construction projects there; he has attracted dirty Russian money; and two of his operatives, campaign manager Paul Manafort and adviser Carter Page, have connections to Russia (Page has business interests there and Manafort has worked for the ousted pro-Moscow Ukrainian president). Foer did not claim to show that Putin actually has a hand in Trump’s campaign: he was merely listing the connections that align with Putin’s evident interest in seeing Trump become president.
But if one looks at these connections within the overall activities of Trump and his advisers, activities that would include all of Trump’s other unsavory partners and Manafort’s other unsavory clients, it would look like a mere subsection of a tycoon’s checkered international business career.
In The Washington Post, first Josh Rogin and then Anne Applebaum wrote about the Manafort and Page connections and noted that Trump’s people have apparently been indifferent to the party platform but focused on exactly one point: blocking an amendment that would pledge weapons to Ukraine. Arguing that the issue was of supreme importance to the Kremlin, Applebaum called Trump a “Manchurian candidate.” But this theory ignores the fact that the same passage in the platform contains the following sentence: “We support maintaining and, if warranted, increasing sanctions, together with our allies, against Russia unless and until Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are fully restored.” That just happens to be the plank that Russians had hoped to see gone.
The idea that Putin is somehow controlling Trump is a work-around for the inability to imagine that the Republican Party’s nominee is acting of his own accord.
