I keep challenging Russiagaters on this and have yet to receive adequate response. Trump has set out these past three years to topple or subvert Russian allies and has successfully done so in Syria and Venezuela, is currently attacking Iran and Cuba, and Russia hasn't done much of anything to stop any of it despite supposedly being the puppeteer behind the curtains, and they can't explain how this helps Russia at all, conveniently it's all just benefiting the US agenda.

    Trump has no filter and let it be known that he personally likes strongman political leaders, and libs have no political analysis besides great man theory so they can't concieve of the president's personal feelings not moving the needle on the country's actual policies. If they admitted that Trump liking Putin didn't change anything significant about the country's foreign policy wrt Russia, they might be lead to question what systems are in place that actually drive American antagonism towards it and other countries.
