I wasn't talking about historically.
You said they have no intentions of being...
Thanks for the name calling though.
Also, just to get this correct... Trump Jr admitted that the Russians hacked the election? Or, what "collision" took place exactly? To what degree?
Really though, if you think Russia wants to be our friend all of the sudden you are an idiot. Russia wants what is best for Russia, which is a weak EU and a weak America. That's why they have been doing the same thing to weaken other nations that we are allies with. Interfering with a democratic election isn't the action of someone who wants to be friends. He doesn't want to cooperate with us, he wants to weaken our position in the world. Everything he's said and done since then verifies that. If you aren't following politics, then that's your fault for jumping into a game you don't understand.
Trump admitted that Russians hacked the elections, a full year after being presented with the intelligence report. To what degree? They hacked a political party's email servers, they attempted to hack our voting machines, they attacked several government and government related companies, and they created a bot network to spread propaganda across American social media to swing the vote against Hillary. That's the extent. Even Putin admitted it was probably Russians, just that they weren't "government" employees. Well that would be fine if it wasn't common knowledge that Russian GRU funds private hacking groups like Fancy Bear and we didn't have intelligence data pointing straight to the Russian government. CrowdStrike, a private group, determined that Russian government was involved with their forensic analysis. That alone is a clear attack on our democratic process.
Trump Jr. admitted and posted the emails detailing attempted collusion with the Russian government, which is also illegal through campaign finance laws. It's illegal for a campaign to take anything of value (monetary or goods/services) from a foreign national. Simply put, accepting that meeting with intentions of gaining the services of "opposition research" is a crime. Even the promise of said goods and services is a crime.
That's not even getting into the amount of lies told by Trump and his campaign staff regarding their connections and dealings with Russia regarding their security clearances, which should be grounds for revoking their privileges.
