(34,661 posts)she as well as others have figured out what is about to happen and why. Putin wants the Sanctions removed so he can get access to Capital and Foreign Investment in Russia. Things in Russia are in damn tough shape for the Russian People. The Oligarchs have stripped every Ruble they could and move it to the West leaving a whole Country in Poverty for the most part.
Did Putin offer Trump some kind of monetary prize for helping make this happen. Lots of hinting in that direction,but,first the sanctions have to be pulled and if the 2016 Election Hacking and the Ukrainian Peace deal goes down. Well,the rest is elementary. Moscow Don and his Ilk score Billions in compensation.

He also responds to flattery, like a cocker spaniel being rubbed behind the ears, "Who's a good boy?"
Putin provides both in spades. It scares the hell out of Fat Donnie to lose either one, which is why he has been saying at rallies, "I should get an extra two years for the two years of investigations. Some leaders don't ever have to leave office -- that sounds good to me!"

This whole story is about making the Mueller Report a story of fiction and Ukraine's Peace deal with Russia will be used as a method of removing Sanctions on Russia .
Putin wins!!!!!! He will be able to stop a massive over throw of his Government.
Monday was one of Putin's big money days. He now controls the Oil flow coming out of Syria. Plus his Pipeline Company will control a major portion of Oil flowing out of the Region for Export.
