Russia and their American President

Russia is run by an old-school KGB officer. These guys don't change their colors, if they aren't in the intelligence game, they have diversified by becoming oligarchs billionaires. Which still provide Putin with information, because Putin has shown time after time that if doesn't like you, you won't get to stick around.

It's a proven fact that thousands upon thousands of fake Facebook, Twitter, Instagram accounts are in the hands of foreign actors. Why? Ill tell you why. I've seen news posts were a normal political discussion on Facebook have been hijacked into conspiracy country and totally derailed the topic at hand. Most of these accounts are easily spotted, zero to no activity on their account from 5-10 years ago, to look like they were activated in the recent few years and only have proven fake news articles on their profile page. Ill even go one further and say that MSN knew something about this a year or two ago. Why did they disable comments on their news stories?

The government during the 60's tried to link the Russians to the Civil Rights movement. They were wrong then, that is a fact. However, Russia never forgets, especially the old guard and how their country was brought down by America. Russia is not our friend, why have all these Social Media profiles? Its to cause division and hate in this country. Its proven that fake profiles posing as Democrats tried to be undecided and want to vote for the green party. Why?

If Trump somehow was not caught in a KGB honeypot trap back in the 80's, he has definitely become their boy now.

Causing hate and discontent in NATO. Trump has tried to gaslight the American people into believing that NATO requires the US to survive. That somehow they aren't paying their fair share. SORRY, but I was in the military during the late 90's up until 4 years ago. I knew of the massive drawdowns because my job was in jeopardy! They were closing bases down left and right, troops were coming back from Europe in droves.

Then what happens? 9/11 changed everything. The military was brought back stronger then ever, bases in Europe were reopened, new air bases were made for our aircraft to fly sorties in the middle east. Europe basically gave the US cart blanch. Even up to now, we require those air bases in Europe to persecute the war in the middle east.

Is Russia going to come to plow through the Fulda Gap? They don't have to, especially if Trump causes enough hate and discontent between European countries/NATO allies.
