You might balk at the title but let's think about this. In 2014 Russia invaded Crimea. They also armed and trained insurgents in Donetsk a Russian speaking region of Ukraine.
This kicked off a civil war. Where the Ukrainian army had to fight against these Russian backed separatists. It has also been well documented that both Russian regular and spetznaz forces were deployed to fight the Ukrainian military.
These regular forces included Russian anti-aircraft units which subsequently shot down a civilian airliner. Killing over 200 people. As a result Russia was booted from the G8 and sanctions were levied against them.
Not to mention their actions in Syria where they are backing Assad's forces against the rebels. Who are backed by NATO.
Fast forward to 2018 and we have the president of the US saying that Russia should be admitted back into the G8. Despite them having an economy smaller than Brazil's. The Donald is also implying that the Russian annexation of Crimea is fine.
The Donald has been doing his best to disrupt international trade and NATO. These are exactly the things that his master Vlad "The Impaler" Putin would want from a US president that he has under full control.
Another thing I find odd is that the Iran nuclear deal was in fact very stringent and involved such caveats as Iran giving up their suppliers. Which they did. The north koreans have not agreed to anything and have been taking steps to hide parts of their nuclear program.
It's a very bad deal and we should negotiate a better one.
