If Trump can convince the world Ukraine fixed the 2016 election, not Russia, he can lift the sanctions and get some of his "boys" (Manafort, Flynn) out of jail. It also might weaken Ukraine allowing Russia to solidify its position there.
What the hell is with Trump and his love for Russia and Putin?

(34,661 posts)Putin's Russia is in a world of financial hurt. His Oil and Gas Sales to the EU are not keeping the Government coffers filled. So much Corruption and Graft. And the street protests are increasing daily. People are running a underground economy in order to supply themselves with the necessary food to stay afloat.
Russia needs foreign Currency as well as investment to fix their out dated Industries as well as their Food supply chain.
