The slippery slope. Some Iranian monarchist sycophants did wake up.

stops all arms shipments to Ukraine (that already been approved by congress)

leaves the Russian-friendly Venezuelan regime in place instead of installing the opposition
doesn't react when Russia gives Iran targeting information on US assets in the Middle East (which then get destroyed)
but instead allows a Russian tanker to sail to Cuba DESPITE a US embargo
is best pals with Orban whose foreign minister has been caught on tape coordinating with Lavrov about EU decisions
installed tariffs to damage world trade
f-ed up US defence spending to weaken the armed forces (e.g. a new ridiculous class of battleship that has stalled development of more realistic aims)
installed the most incompetent (and Russian leaning) people to run the DNI and DoD
done what he could to dial back the transition to renewables (thereby keeping the world hooked on oil, Russia's only major export now that its defence sector is in shreds)
cozied up to right-wing influencers even after it has become apparent they are funded by the FSB
turned independent state institutions into partisan hacks

and yes, the Mueller report did NOT actually exonerate Trump
And yes J6 is the perfect device for eroding faith in democracy
and.. and.. and.. 

yeah, right, no collusion whatsoever.

I don't have to. It is quite enough that their interests coincide.. for whatever reason. And they do. 
You yourself are a great example. Your barely disguised glee at what seems to be the incipient downfall of US hegemony (your already prolific posting has quadrupled recently).. 
This doesn't mean your posting is directed by Putin. It just means your interests coincide. For whatever reason. 

Ergo, you prefer Russian hegemony over US hegemony. 
Personally I think they are both crap, but you be you.

ffs ... do you really want me to list all of Russia's contacts to far right politicians and influencers in the west? Srsly?

I believe that's called circumstantial evidence. 

If it's all so obvious then it should be easy for your myriad of intelligence services to provide direct links and have people act on those links.

There does seem to be a fair amount of “coincidences” — sanctions on Russian oil temporarily lifted; pull back on US support to Ukraine; threatens to leave NATO.

It's not a conspiracy. It's observed fact. For whatever reasons or motives, Trump's second term has been a godsend to Putin. They are best buddies.
