Nice post--lots of truth here. Makes you wonder just how evil Hillary really is. She's not just self-serving. She's an evil witch, glad she is vanishing slowly... melting...melting...melting...
However, do not forget that Putin is former KGB. He is no saint.
It is not OK for Russia to claim Crimea. It's necessary for Russia, but a crime against Ukraine.
Do not forget that Putin stopping ISIS results in continued Russian presence in the middle east and the Med. Yes, he stopped ISIS, but there was something in it for him.
In some ways, we're looking at two evils doing battle over Natural Gas rights and distribution.

Russia claimed Crimea because USA was about to, set up missile sites aimed at Russia, and disrupt all natural gas pipelines. Why on earth were 2 us senators there??? Former KGB does not automatically make someone terrible. That’s old propaganda placed into your thinking. Do you think Russians think the same about FBI or CIA? I’ll bet they do

Russia claimed Crimea for the same reason they ALWAYS do...because they need the warm water ports with access to the Mediterranean Sea.
Look up the Crimean War. Look who tried to stop them from claiming it then.
No name was there to support the EU resistance to Russia. I'm not taking sides here. I think they were both wrong.
It's more than just propaganda. KGB, because of its socialist origins, is on par with Gestapo when it comes to human rights violations. They made the USSR the nightmare that it was. While it's true that it doesn't necessarily make Putin evil, he certainly has been to all the right evil schools if he chooses to be.
Re: the FBI and CIA, well, the Russians wouldn't be TOOOOOOO far off the mark then, would they be? As disgusting and criminal as the CIA chooses to be in foreign countries, they are children compared to the KGB.
But hey, Putin has done a lot of good for Russia...He puts Russia first like Trump puts America first. Difference is, Trump's administration ends in 2024 latest...when does Putin's end?

Can someone please explain the Russian collusion situation then? Because someone clearly colluded with the Russians in 2016.

Your first problem is thinking of the Russians and one indivisible group. Some colluded with the Americans too. Was it ALL Americans? Every single person in power?

This is an excellent point, and one that's often overlooked. I always laugh when i hear the news mention a Russian, ANY Russian, and tack on "with ties to Putin", but they add zero evidence. The MSM would have you believe that every single Russian world wide has a tie to Putin. That would be like saying every American has a tie to Trump
