Sabotaging our alliances and undermining our position as world leader for


starters. It's no secret that Putin came to power in the wake of a NATO operation in Eastern Europe that toppled a Russian ally over their strenuous objections (Serbia and Milosevic, 1999), which was seen as a direct affront to Russia and a sign of disrespect to Russia as a has-been world power. Couple that with the expansion of NATO and the EU into countries formerly in Russia's sphere of influence, and you see where the growing hostility comes from. Putin pretty much ran on a "Make Russia Great Again" platform....

Putin called the collapse of the USSR the "greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century" and has worked ever since to undermine NATO, the EU, and democratic movements in the former Soviet sphere of influence so Mother Russia can move back in. Remember, unlike the dipshit man baby we have in charge of our country, Putin is a chess player and a master strategist. He is slowly but surely running circles around the west and chipping away at Western alliances, and now he even has his own bitch boy to do his bidding.

So yeah, it's hurting our interests. And the rest of the world no longer trusts us as a leader -- which will continue with this turd as our president and rightfully so. Meanwhile who is benefitting? Uncle Vlad. It's obvious if you open your eyes.
