(1,648 posts)Back when Dubya won his Presidential terms and the nefarious problems that popped up during them. President Obama chose not to pursue prosecutions of anything previously done to help unite the country, even though it could have also unleashed a Pandora's box of trying to correct what never should have been in the first place... Think about the timeline and actual further damage it would cause going forward to upset and destroy everything. And that would not even touch all of the laws that would have to be rewritten and decisions overturned, and it becomes obvious that the timeline would never be corrected the way it should have been. A lot of damage could not be undo without doing more damage to people.
Now, during Dubya's Presidential win's, there was a lot of shady things happening and some of his wins could not be explained. Putin was watching everything the Republican Party and Bush campaign was doing to cheat out victories and he filed it away. Dubya got Putin to go along with his Iraq invasion by promising that oil prices would go up sharply bringing a money boom for Russia's oil exports, which if you remember became a big problem in the United States with gas prices. But Dubya double crossed Putin and during the a period between Dubya and President Obama, gas prices dropped again. Then President Obama got into office and did no favors for Putin and held him in check with sanctions, so Putin went to work inciting garbage against President Obama and the Democratic Party over the internet and pushing his asset which helped cut Obama's power in domestic U.S.A. with what he learned from watching Dubya's victories. But it wasn't enough to defeat President Obama and give us President Romney, because President Obama was too liked and popular.
So when 2016 came along and it was clear a member of Obama's Administration was going to run for the Dems, whom Putin hated very much with very much disdain, so he enlisted his Useful Idiot asset and went full throttle for his Idiot Asset and the Republican Party to keep that Idiot Asset in power, whom Putin could squeeze.
Who knows exactly how long this Russian crap has been tied to the Republican Party as they played Ronald Reagan against the Evil Empire? How much has Putin given his Useful Idiot to keep the Bush's in check?
