Not saying it’s true, but those behaviors make a lot more sense if you replace “Trump” with “Russian agent”, don’t they?

    Look, I don't believe Trump is a Russian asset. But I'll be honest, looking at some of his actions with respect to Canada and Europe, I can certainly see why people think this. Based on your response, my guess is that you are at least less anti-Trump than most people I know. So I'm genuinely curious, do you have any ideas about his stance against Canada?

    I genuinely wonder if we're going to look back on all of this very differently. It's become commonly accepted that folks on the left got in way over their skis with the "Russian agent" accusations during his first term and based on the evidence actually available I'd say that's true. But with everything I'm seeing with Ukraine recently... I dunno. His actions aren't rational. It's conspiratorial thinking I know. But absent a coherent explanation for why he sides with Russia repeatedly I'm also not ready to just dismiss anyone saying it.

  Does putting sanctions on Russia make sense in your scenario?
