Im ok with trusting Medvedev on this point. As he should be an expert. He's said corruption is involved in 30% of the Russian economy. That i suppose are the Billions you were wondering about. I'm one of these strange people that thinks when an outspoken critic of Putin dies of Polonium poisoning or suddenly finds themselves imprisoned, that Putin may have had something to do with it. But that's just me. Smart people would know Putin had nothing to do with these little difficulties his opponents seem to get themselves entangled in. I imagine smart people such as yourself know that Putin is working day and night to find and arrest these assassins and go after those who have given false testimony.
I can't decide. It is one or the other or possibly both blackmail for illegal or embarrassing activity the Russians know about and /or the need for Russian investment to bailout troubled properties. But there is some reason why Trump the Rodent President Bully is a Russian lap dog. That we can be 100% certain of.
I wonder what Putin had on Obama and Hillary, given the fact that Obamas first action was to piull missile defense systems out of jordan, followed by hillary coming to him with an "Overcharged" button, followed by obama saying he would have more flexibility after the election. Wasnt it Obama who said the 1980's called and they want their foreign policy back when Romney said Russia was our greatest geopolitical fo? Wasnt there alot of backslapping among liberals on that one? This just seems bizarre that people can be dumb enough to forget what happened under Obama, and claim any meeting with russians is now treasonous. Incase any of you missed it, here is where your russia investigation is going.
Piezoe, i find it hard to believe your going down the "Bhenghazi/truther/birther" hole all cause you hate Trump this much..... use your common sense man, you are only going to end up looking like a nutter at the end if this is the road you pursue.
What happened? Where was this outcry when Obama got real cozy with the Russians? If Trump had the exact same conversation, using the exact same words, the left would be demanding his immediate removal from office. And what happened to the love affair the left had with the Soviets? Your standard bearer, Comrade Bernie got married in Moscow for Christ's sake. Now you guys are ready to start WW III, and for what? Because you lost a f'n election? Really? You turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to all the DNC shenanigans during the primary and back a no message, business as usual political hack, arrogant bitch who thinks everyone is just supposed to line up for her simply because she doesn't have a dick and it's her turn. And your surprised at the outcome? So apoplectic about it that you've gone off the rails completely. Grow the fuck up. Your whining and wailing has grown tiresome.
Who is the only person we know for a fact took millions of dollars from the russians? Hint it rhymes with Shrillary. Why wasnt the left concerned when Obama instantly pulled missile defense systems out of Jordan when he was elected, and they went in with the "Overcharged" button that was meant to say reset? Was the Obama admin not thinking they could somehow repair relationships with russia, or was obama a part of the russian conspiracy? When Obama was caught on hotmic telling putins advisor hed have greater flexibility after the election, was that him just being a puppet of the russians or was that him just regailing the world with his brilliance?
The only thing that will save them is for something really bad to happen so they can release a collective, I told you so. If we don't end up in war with Russia soon they are going to look even more stupid than they already do. What are they going to say? Russia is not at war with us and it's all Trumps fault. He was too easy on them. I guess we will find out when they take over another country. And if they don't how much is he paying them? One thing you can be sure of, things are not as obvious as they look. Because there is no way this guy got elected president.
