Why didn't Putin do this when his puppet, TFG, was president?
Just asking.
Seems to me that Trump would have backed him all the way and even tried to find ways to help him.
Seriously, why did Putin wait 'til now when he owned an American president?
Answers? Anyone?

Well, the right question minus the “Trump is a Russian asset” nonsense.
Now it’s time for the willfully blind and stupid on the island to answer. :popcorn:
I’m gonna go with “to make Biden and the Dems look bad” and “because he was already getting everything he wanted from Trump” for the win!
DUers are so simpleminded.

I posted this on another thread earlier today. Hopefully it gives the DUmmy the answer it is looking for
There are other stories making the rounds, too, and they are even more provocative. One has it that Trump — noting that Putin seized land from Georgia when George W. Bush was president and seized the Crimean peninsula when Barack Obama was president — warned Putin against a land grab on his watch.
“If you move against Ukraine while I’m president,” Trump is said to have told the Russian leader, “I will hit Moscow.”
Putin reportedly scoffed, “No way,” leading Trump to say, “All those beautiful golden turrets will be blown up.”
A similar story involves Chinese President Xi Jinping. It was during his visit to Mar-a-Lago in 2017 when Trump famously interrupted their chocolate cake dessert to declare he had just ordered the US military to fire 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at a Syrian air base after the Syrian government used chemical weapons against rebels and civilians.
During that same visit, Trump reportedly told Xi that any military move against Taiwan would be met with an attack on Beijing. Xi, like Putin, is said to have been stunned, though it is possible neither man believed Trump was serious. While it is also possible that both accounts are exaggerated, it is a fact that neither man made the moves Trump is said to have warned against.

If Trump was Putin's puppet, then he was a hostile puppet.

Good timing, right as Biden puts Trump era sanctions back in place.
