What’s Behind the Putin Fantasies
Donald Trump never found much of a seat on the U.S.-Russia business express.

Several Trump campaign advisers had business ties to Russia, so that must be nefarious, right?
Except that until the Crimea sanctions in 2014, it was U.S. policy to encourage American business in Russia—and had been since 1991. That a handful of advisers did business in Russia is amazing only because it’s so few. In July 2009, President Obama himself visited Moscow with a passel of U.S. execs in tow. Joe Biden was in Moscow a few...

I saw this in hardcopy, you will have to subscribe to read the rest online, but basically they said that since 1991 is was government policy to encourage American business investment in Russia, which led to a number of politicians and businessmen - including Presidents and Secretaries of State - talking to and even visiting Russia.
OH THE HORROR! The article goes on to say that the notable thing about Trump's involvement with the investment express train to Russia was his inability to find a seat on it. Except for Miss Universe (a one-time event) and NASCAR, Trump has not had any successful ventures in Russia.

Expressing surprise and sadness at Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ repeated denials of contact with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential campaign, heartbroken Ambassador Sergey Kislyak told reporters Thursday that he thought his special meetings with the then–Alabama senator were actually very memorable.
“To be honest, our two conversations hold great significance for me, and I can’t help but be upset to learn that Jeff felt otherwise,” said the tearful Russian diplomat, adding that he simply could not believe that Sessions could so nonchalantly dismiss the many hours they spent discussing the intimate details of their lives, including their innermost hopes and fears for their respective countries.
“It really hurts to think that Jeff doesn’t cherish the afternoons we spent sitting in his office exchanging information about everything under the sun. These were some of the most meaningful discussions of my life, and Jeff’s writing them off like they didn’t even happen. How could he be so cruel?”
Kislyak went on to say that even his subsequent communications with former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn never for a moment made him forget the precious time he and Sessions spent together.

Sure 1kiki, a cite is a quote (a passage, book, or author) as evidence for or justification of an argument or statement.
Since I am the author and source of the statement "Ain't nobody in this country afraid of Russia." I can confirm this statement was created by me.

SECOND isn't interested in the truth. She isn't even interested in facts. She has a grotch, and that (ahem) trumps everything.

Oh, stop pretending you aren't the Toll here who posts manipulated and fake news. I've shown far to many of your news sources to be biased and full of lies. Add to that conspiracy theories.
I gotta know SGI. When I show how you have posted a lie, and how your source is bullshit, doesn't it make you reflect and wish to change?
That said, I gotta ask this. So, why don't you?
