As Trump Courts Putin, Russians Keep Trying to Kill Americans [View all]

The “gray zone” war on America and its allies isn’t going to stop.

...Who was behind this plan that could have sent airplanes crashing to the ground after exploding in flames?

It wasn’t al Qaeda, or ISIS, or Hezbollah, or any other designated terrorist organization.

It was Russia.
.
Without gaining anything for the United States, Trump has:

* started bilateral talks with Russia to end the war in Ukraine on terms favorable to Russia;

* deprioritized Russia as a focus of cyber defense;

* stopped offensive cyber operations against Russia;

* reassigned federal employees who were working on protecting the United States from covert foreign—including Russian—interference;

* begun negotiations to open Russian consulates in the United States and allow back hundreds of Russian officials, many of whom will be spies; and

* initiated the lifting of sanctions on Russia, including on oligarchs, who play an integral role in funding clandestine operations.

Donald tRump may not be a Russian asset, doing everything the Kremlin would want a Russian asset to do, but boy, it sure looks like Donald' tRump's actions are that of an anti-American Russian paid asset.
