What an infuriatingly B.S. assumption. In the same manner I attack this nation for our nation building, I'll attack another for the same. Americans (and others) should always call out another nation for nation building as well as their own. The past/present foreign policy of the U.S. government isn't going to dictate what I criticize.

If Russia wants things fixed, remove itself from Ukraine and admit to and cease its program of democracy interference (not just in the United States); The very reasons the sanctions are in place.
Thank you. This is spot on.

Start checking your facts people, start checking your facts.
Look into the nineties, look what the relations with Russia were at that time, how Russians opened for the US their borders, how it was all about "love for America and "things American," how their president let American "economists" sit in Kremlin, and what a devastation this "friendship" brought to Russian people. Under a watchful eye of corporate "New Democrats" Clintons.
I understand that your propaganda machine will never tell you about all that, but you can dig into all that yourself. It's a free country after all, and even though finding this kind of information becomes increasing more difficult, it's still out there.

Trump must be sweating bullets. He had to sign the sanctions bill into law or he'd be toast at home, but now Putin and the Russian mafia are pissed because he can't deliver what he promised.

He may crack like a nut under the pressure.

Just read that Trump talked to Putin over the phone before signing the bill.

How can this be?
