The fact that the CIA was in charge of the recent drone attacks on Russia's bomber force means Trump was either out of the loop, or Russia knew it was coming and didn't stop it for strategic reasons.

Right now, Trump is sitting pretty, just like he was before he was elected.

BTW I voted from Trump all 3 times. The only time I went door to door was when Sarah Palin was running.

I fault Trump for so far not following through with campaign promises. I suspect he is being briefed by neocons based on what he says. If was not informed of the recent attacks inside Russia heads should roll. But that did not end well for JFK.

BTW I learned something in recent years. Not all people who ID as left or progressive are nuts especially on foreign affairs. One acid test is whether they fell for Russiagate. Many did not. Many did not have TDS either. Some like Jimmy Dore and Kim iversen had their eyes opened by the COVID hysteria and the vaxx.

What campaign promises did he break?
I never was a Trumper; I was certain he was still a Dim, but like everyone who gets elected, I gave him a chance, and he turned out to be far better than I hoped; however, despite his accomplishments, he's a moderate.
Like I said in the past, I'm glad he's a moderate, because of that, he is killing the Marxist DNC off for good.
One thing I did learn is that he is always at least three steps ahead of the opposition; he always has contingency plans and a masterful way of manipulating every situation.

As for Russia/Ukraine, I don't see a problem, I really don't, this isn't Trump's war, it's all European Union bull shit and Marxists on our side, people he's yet to ferret out of Govt, including Obama's Generals.

The GOP debates before 2016 won me over to Trump. I was for Cruz before that. All of thee candidates wanted to establish a no fly zone over Syria. That would pit US against Russia. Russia was invited in and we were not. Russia helped the Syrian govt fight ISIS and AQ, both funded by US govt. Then came Trump "lf we get into WWIII it won't be over Syria. "

Then came a constitutional law question. Cruz knew 100x more than Trump but only Trump could communicate the answer.

No doubt, Trump has that gift.
