As the story (that we've really known about the whole time) continues to unfold, smart people (even more) fully understand that Vlad Putin couldn't have had a better friend than the Democrat Party.
-He got access to rare earth materials thanks to a DEM SOS helping to push the deal through
-A DEM POTUS approved a coup d etat in Ukraine giving Putin an excuse to move forward with military operations
-He invaded Crimea while a DEM POTUS was in office
-The same DEM POTUS refused to arm Ukraine even after approving an executing an overthrow of a dully elected president of Ukraine
-Putin invaded Ukraine a second time with a DEM POTUS in office
-Vlad and friends literally led an entire political movement around by the nose getting them to concoct and propagate an absolutely insane conspiracy theory that most of them still cling to today . . . thus causing nothing but tumult and upheaval in the American political system . . . Vlad knew that Dems are easily manipulated crap for brains and he played it to the hilt
-He also knew that Dems because they're absolute cucks to Europe would never really demand that Euro NATO "partners" up their game and improve-increase military spending
SMDH . . . sad
