Did you pay attention to the WH's stance on a ME ally - Qatar - vs. Saudi Arabia? And how that now makes perfect sense in "extorting investments from them"?
Just how naive are you?

Hillary was understood to be strongly anti-Russia. Her role and position in the Ukraine coup was documented in releases by Wikileaks. That's just the obvious example of why Hillary would make Putin nervous.
Hillary also worked hard to bring down energy prices - reducing the value of Russia's main exports.
Hillary's positions in the Middle East could be viewed as an effort to reduce Russian power and flexibility in that region. Syria being Russia's only client state, and the only place in the Mediterranean where Russia had a guaranteed port.
And so on.
It’s about money and it was clear Trump could be bought. The Rosneft deal was the topic at Trump tower and there have been several moves by the Trump WH that has driven up oil prices.
Trump only wants you to believe this happens all the time -

I'm not paranoid. And I'm not demented on the subject of Trump. So we aren't going to see some things the same way.
Pence scares me WAY more. He seems to be more of a hawk than the blowhard and I think he would probably get stuff done as he seems to be educated and motivated (two things that Trump is not).
I gotta disagree there. I don't see any evidence that Pence (or any other mainstream politician) is a sociopath.
We see that evidence with Trump every day. (Read his Twitter)
Pence rarely (if ever) disagrees with Trump. And his medieval views of women are arguably even worse than Trump's. He lies about climate change, just like most Republicans. He favors policies that disenfranchise voters and give power to corporations over workers.
Sounds pretty sociopathic to me.
Trump has sexually assaulted dozens of women. He's on his own level.
I know you don't agree with Pence's politics, but at least try to be objective here.
TIA.
Pence is better than Trump on some things. But that's a frighteningly low bar. It in no way means that Pence is not a dangerous sociopath.
Mike Pence
Better Than
Pol Pot
See what I mean. Just being better than Trump on sexual assaults - or better than Pol Pot in my jesting example - is not good enough.
