What does all of this hostility towards Putin's Partners do to the "Trump is Putin's puppet" story?
Terry,
If Putin's plan is to use Trump as a puppet in order to drive the USA into total chaos (so that vultures can scavenge the carcass), then what better way is there to achieve this goal than to get the US tied-down in two concurrent (non-winnable) wars, would seem like a demonstration of the genius of Putin's plan.

Yep, he's certainly one smart cookie.
Who would have thought that by ordering his Trump puppet into declaring war on two of his own allies, he'd have achieved his own goal of maintaining friendly relations with America allowing both countries to fight against their common enemy ISIS.
That's almost unbelievably clever?
Edit:
From your last.
It now seems certain that rather than just covertly interfering with the 2016 election, Evil Putin's real plan was to let the stupid Americans believe that their election had been interfered with by Russia in order to weaken their preferred candidates Presidency. Just why Putin would want to destroy the legitimacy of his own puppet isn't yet clear, but what is clear is that Putin thinks so many moves ahead that only by resigning before the game has started do we have any chance of survival.
Putin is obviously so smart that we may as well surrender before he tricks us into bombing Washington.

BTW Has everyone heard the latest Jimmy Dore screed?
Jimmy has the hubris to believe that he knows better than 98% of the American Senate, AND, a much higher % of the American Congress. He thinks that all of these honorable legislators, vetted through the electoral filter of THE GREATEST DEMOCRACY THAT THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN, were
wrong when they wrested foreign policy from their Commander in Chief, and took the sanctioning of Russia, and her business partners, into their own hands.
He drags the wants and needs of our European Vassals into the argument, conveniently ignoring our own Vicky Nuland's famous quote on that subject.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957The slow witted Europeans apparently can't grasp how their energy security will be enhanced when we curtail the flow of their major supplier.
I should warn all prospective viewers that Jimmy Dore uses a large amount of smut in this childish rant. He'd not only have us believe that he knows better than all of Washington's elected decision makers, he believes that we should care about the opinions of France, Germany and even China, then pretends that he is not simply another Puppet for Putin.
The audacity
