I don't think that the Soviet Union was trying to destroy America. They used the nukes as a deterrent, but they were not capable of conquering America and they knew it.
I don't mean literally destroy us with bombs, but to undermine our political and economic role in the world. Putin has turned out to be the old Soviet Union's avenger.

Ah interesting. I hadn't noticed that shift from collusion to meddling.
What's funny Bill, is quite honestly I was about to say basically the same thing of liberals. At least as far as this situation goes. And one of the biggest problems I see in this is the prevailing attitude of guilty until proven innocent. Really just guilty period, even if the investigation ends up showing zero collusion between trump and putin.
Funny how a party once known for being pro-soviet is now saying non-soviet russia is america's nemesis, based mainly on its soviet past.
The thing is, america's economy has been improving.
This stuff you come up with about putin sounds like pure fantasy, not based on anything factual.
Has there ever been any kind of statement from putin to corroborate any of it? Any time in his 20 year history as russia's pm and president where he has ever expressed any such ill will towards the united states?

There hasn't been a trial... yet. Mueller is still building his case. The fact that he has gotten guilty pleas says something.

Some of the accusations is that they were promoting facts and sourcing sites like the Washington Post haha. You couldn't make this stuff up. Also, if Trump is a Russian puppet, he is a terrible one as US backed fighters have killed scores of Russians in Syria.
Oh, right, because neither leader would sacrifice his country's soldiers for his own personal gain..
How is Russian soldiers being killed Putin's gain? How is keeping sanctions on Russia Putin's gain?
It makes people like you believe he can’t possibly be pulling any strings..

Exactly, there hasn't been a trail or even an indictment, and yet there's the reversal of American justice that Trump has already been judged guilty, instead of presumed innocent until proven guilty of collusion with russia. The same with putin and russia in general.
The guilty pleas Mueller has gotten so far have nothing to do with trump or putin. They just don't outside of speculative accusation. That's not being pro-trump or pro-putin, it's just seeing the situation for what it truly is at this point in time. Certainty and insistence of guilt based on virtually nothing so far. No presumption of innocence whatsoever. That's not how American justice is supposed to work.

Really it's people like you insisting putin is pulling trump's strings when there's evidence to the contrary. What counter evidence to you have that he is pulling strings?
When has putin ever expressed such sentiments against the united states?
What exactly has putin gained out of trump being president so far?

Mueller is only doing his job by conducting a criminal investigation, as there are legitimate questions. It's Trump and his supporters who are expressing consciousness of guilt by attacking Mueller.

That's just a continuation of the liberal public rendering a judgement of guilty until proven innocent. Do they believe the American justice system decree of innocent until proven guilty should be reversed?

So now Trump's lifelong history of lying, cheating, and stealing isn't supposed to play any role whatsoever in whether people think he's guilty of doing some seriously shady s**t with Russia? Come on..

I'll take that as a yes. The justice system's decree of innocent until proven guilty should be reversed. And further more guilty based on no actual evedence. Is that really how you want the justice system to work?

Criminal investigations are there to find proofs of criminal activities, only then can peoples be judged and proven guilty in the eye of justice and law; public accusations and allegations are protected under the first amendment.
Anyway, republicans are Trump are very ill placed of accusing liberal rendering judgment of guilty until proven innocent, as they are accusing liberal, democrats, and particularly Obama and the Clinton of a lot of unproven things, which is not against the law, but is little compared to many conservatives been fine that "terrorist" been sent to jail or executed without proper trials.

Just because a prevailing attitude of guilty until proven innocent is protected under the first amendment, doesn't make it a good thing, does it?
In what way has the media and the public gone after them in the same manner so relentlessly?
According to what source?

I'm not talking about the justice system. I'm talking about our opinions. Really? You expect that even though we're all hyper aware of how shady he is in his business dealings that he's somehow not been shady with his political campaign? Come on. How you do anything is how you do everything.. I'd bet $ he's done some seriously shady s**t with regards to the whole Russia thing. The only other plausible explanation is that Trump is too stupid to realize he's been played the whole time.
