Originally posted by JimL View PostWhether positively confirmed or not, evidence of it exists, evidence of both the money and the people involved exists, and the President has an obligation to protect the troops and to, at the very least, speak to and warn/threaten the Russians against it. He didn't, and he still hasn't. Instead he invited an adversary that invaded and siezed Crimea and is still invading Ukaraine, an ally of the U.S. back into the G-7 and removed 10,000 troops from another ally, Germany, that were stationed there as a protective force against Russia.
And, thank you for a well written and civil post. A breath of fresh air in the current... um.... good job!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by JimL View PostBecause the President claims he knew nothing about it, that he wasn't briefed,
and therefore did nothing about it.
He still has done nothing about it since being publicly informed.
The former excuse, if true, would be incompetence and neglect, but that he has still done nothing suggest that either he is somehow compromised by Putin or he is outright treasonous.
You have no idea, Jim, that he didn't do something, or tell somebody else to do something. All you have is speculation.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by DivineOb View PostBut we *do* know he has done multiple things which Russia is very happy about (G7 invite, troop drawdown in Germany, continued public skepticism against US intelligence, failure to publicly back US troops following reporting of possible Russia bounties, requests to the CIA to share intelligence to Russia for nothing in return). We don't have a crystal ball but we are allowed to look at the evidence in front of us and ask why our enemy has so many wins piled up.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

There is literally no way for you to know that, Jim.
And, again, there's no way for you to know that.
Yes, of course, those are the ONLY possible options.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostWhat is your fascination with lying? You even indicted your own self as a "bold faced liar".
And my "fascination" is simply because lying corrupts any possible meaningful dialog. So when you (or anyone) says something which clearly does not comport to reality (e.g. that we don't know that Trump asked Russia back into the G7) I am compelled to point it out. I honestly am fascinated by the concept of supposedly devoted Christians acting in clearly unchristlike ways because I feel like it would be very illuminating if I could some day understand how that happens.
So were you lying or mistaken when you said we didn't know that Trump asked Russia back into the G7?
