U.S. of R.
Welcome to the United States of Russia. You don’t believe me, just look how Trump has successfully given Putin everything on his personal wish list:
- Weaken the strong relation between the U.S. and our European allies. This relationship is the main deterrent keeping Putin from taking over more of Eastern Europe. A+ for Trump on this one.
- Withdrawing from the Trans Pacific Partnership will greatly weaken our economic strength and relationships in the Western Pacific and of course helps Russia and China gain strength in that area. A+ for Trump.
- Weaken NATO by sowing doubt with our allies whether the U.S. would come to their assistance if needed. Trump’s negative comments about NATO have accomplished that one.
- Alienate and distance the U.S. from our closest trading partners. Good job Mr. Trump! Canada, Mexico, Germany, Japan and Great Britain are no longer are our close allies.
- Stopping our military exercises with South Korea. Now Russia and China are happy!
The list goes on, and I’m sure Putin will give Trump a big kiss when they get together later in July to work on how to rig our mid-term elections.
