Putin has been talking about action being taking by Obama as a threat to Russia (including placing missiles near the border of Russia) for a couple of years now.

This has nothing to do with Trump, and everybody knows it.

Actually, Putin is breaking his agreement with Daddy Bush. Megatons to Megawatts was touted as one of the big victories after the end of the first Cold War. Putin sees the change in climate here in the US as a golden opportunity to go back to the glory days of the USSR; "Cancel sanctions and scale back Nato" is how he puts it. Before Trump came on the scene this would have been a pipe dream, but Trump has opened the door to this possibility by opening his mouth.

Another attempt to redefine words by the democ-rats. Putin will not work with crooked Hillary to solve anything.
Trump has kept the lines of communication open. Obama just shut the door for the rest of his term and it won't be opened by crooked Hillary. She loves to send people to their death for her and thinks it projects her as being strong. She is the war monger in this election. Wealthy donors make their profits on producing war materials. Contractors to the military will profit because the military is to small and will be given the missions at increased profits. The 6 billion that went missing when crooked Hillary was in the state department is a drop in the bucket of the waste fraud and abuse that as a crime boss of a criminal syndicate she will disappear. Her institutionalized corruption will run up trillions in debt.

Wait so Obama and Hillary have been threatening Russia, they are placing sanctions against them, they are putting nuclear weapons at Russia's border, and somehow this is Trumps fault?

Did you read the article? Putin is retaliating against the economic sanctions against him for invading Crimea, as well as against NATO. So are you proposing that we let him invade at will? That we tear down NATO and give him Europe? By dodging the topic, that is what you are implying. That's fine if you are OK with Russia expansionism - just don't hide your support of the Reds behind a smokescreen.

Most of the Trumpettes side with Putin and Russia because they know that's what Trump wants.

Trump is almost like a Russian operative/Russian spy. But instead of being secret, he's very open about it. His actions are exactly like he supports Russia over the US.

It's very scary that his supporters automatically side with Russia over the US because Trump does the same.

THis is one of the main reasons that so many sane Republicans don't support Trump. There is a line in the sand and there are a lot of independents and GOPers that are very troubled by Trump's love affair with Russia/Putin.

A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin.

You just watch Trump's response for this issue - he is going to praise Putin for being a good leader and he's going to side with Putin. Watch.
LOL you did not just play the blame card?

How many times do the Holy one blame Bush for stuff???

Yes with reason - Putin takes Europe, Trump takes Canada. Maybe a new capital city in Alaska for the coalition. Trump-Putin will go down in history together.
