US Officials: Info suggests Trump associates may have coordinated with Russians

[Amused]

Why do you fear the Russians so much? Discounting Putin of course who likes to murder people.... but he is Russia's problem. It is not the 1950's and the Soviets are not trying to dominate the world. Russia is looking out for Russian interests.... just like China is doing and just the like U.S.A. does.

• 2011 veto of UN Security-Council Resolution to end violence in Syria and institute sanctions (with China)
• 2014 annexation of Crimea and arming of an insurgency in eastern Ukraine
• Downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 by Russian Buk missile transferred into rebel-held territory
• Sept. 2015: Russia begins airstrikes in Syria — supposedly against ISIS, but international observers identify other anti-Assad insurgencies and civilian facilities as the actual targets of the bombing campaign
• Nov 2015: Turkey shoots down a Russian jet after repeated airspace violations
• July 2016: Russian aircraft bomb a base of operations for British and American forces in Syria
• July 2016: Violation of Bulgarian airspace an alleged 10 times
• Aug 2016: Russia uses Iran as a base of operations for bombing Syrian targets for the first time
• Aug 2016: Attacks on civilian targets increase; Human Rights Watch posts video of the aftermath of air-dropped incendiary weapons in violation of the Geneva Convention
• Aug 2016: Alleged 4 violations of Estonian airspace
• Sept 2016: Russia provides air cover to Assad’s troops in a bid to seize Aleppo, the last urban holdout of the 2011 Arab Spring revolt
• Oct 1, 2016: Combined forces destroy Aleppo’s main hospital
• Oct 3, 2016: Moscow pulls out of plutonium disposal agreement in place since the end of the Cold War
• Oct 5, 2016: Russia suspends nuclear cooperation pacts and research agreements with the US
• Oct 8, 2016: Russia transfers nuclear-capable Iskander-M missiles into the Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad
• Oct 28, 2016: Russia is voted off the UN Human Rights Council, accused of war crimes in Syria
