Now why would those phone calls raise questions when Obama being caught on hot mic telling the Russian Pres that he will have more latitude or something like that after the election didn't? Nobody even questioned what that even meant. Where was the questioning of Obama when he planted all the Muslim Brotherhood operatives in high levels of government and his role he played in the Arab Spring debacle helping get a terrorist organization elected in Egypt?
Maybe because Obama was the sitting President of the United States, and Flynn wasn't.

Nanoparticle????? Funny, I remember more than a nanoparticle. I remember using every diplomatic tool in the toolbox, including sanctions against Russia and against Putin. And I remember a lot of Putin supporters on this forum, defending Putin. "Crimea used to be Russian territory, and Crimeans want to be a part of Russia. It's UNFAIR for the Ukraine to keep Crimea..."
You're confused. Barack Obama was taunted by Putin and thrown around like a rag-doll as Putin's tanks and planes rolled in. The LEAST he could do was throw sanctions against Putin since he certainly didn't have the stones to stand up to him. That worked really well. Russia is still in Crimea. And yet you folks have the unmitigated gall to pile onto Trump for having to deal with an international issue that Barack Obama was too cowardly to confront?
What on Earth are you on about? The Russian annexation was met with pretty much every tool of statecraft short of open war.
Yes, after the fact. Barack sat on his thumbs...ever the reactionary. Turns out that sternly-worded speeches from a Hawaiian vacation house don't have much heft in the world of international affairs.
There's no sane reason for Russia to give Ukraine anything. It would simply mean giving the US and NATO a major base within minutes of Moscow. It's like letting a rabid dog into your front door.
Russia might as well roll over. That won't happen. They will most likely go to Kiev first.

After the fact of what? Exactly what did you expect Obama to do? The entire ordeal was fast, very fast.
I think what everyone should ask is; what do the people of Crimea want?
