Because when you have someone openly talking about nuking your capitol, you generally walk on eggshells.

"We don't need to rely on American banks, we get all the funding we need out of Russia" Eric Trump

[malickfan]

This is like asking why the school bully waited for the teacher to leave the room before he started picking on the nerdy kid he dislikes.

[Maurice-migr]

Next video: Why did the mugger wait until there were no police around before he tried to rob someone.

[billyrubin]

What were Trump and Putin’s closed door conversations about? Why were they private? Americans have the right to know what they were discussing!

[tonyv]

Like Colonel Vindman says, "Why would Putin buy the cow if he could get the milk free from Trump?"

[halfa]

I got an ad begging for donations to the Biden administration on this video. That pretty much destroys any credibility this channel may have had 😂

[kittychancool]

Trump said he believed putin over our own intelligence 😂

[donaldgenenavarro]

like we have been saying for years, we had a soviet operative traitor in our white house

[spicerlovejoy]

Let’s be honest here, waiting for trump to leave office in favor of a weaker president was the only intelligent decision that Putin made in regard to his botched invasion of Ukraine.

[justsayin...]

Yes, as noted elsewhere in the comments, this piece from many months ago needs to be replayed often. Lots of people STILL don't get it.

[lisarochwarg]

The fact that Trump would hire Manafort, all by itself, says nothing good about him.

[josevalencia]

Because 45 gave him Almost everything within reach.

[remon]

I remember that mr Putin and mr Trump had a private meeting a couple of years ago, and no information at all came out of this, I wonder why, even more than at that time.

[kryzzan]

"When the speech condemns
a free press, you are hearing
the words of a tyrant."
- Thomas Jefferson

[gordonlynn]

Imagine Trump saying they didn't pay their bills, sounds familiar Donny, you are the master of not paying your bills .

[dumitrutudorache]

Simply, Trump knew to keep Putin in the leash.

[philipwilkins]

Imagine what the USA could be if the people were to stop arguing about how great or bad their party or representatives have become and unite over the fact that both of the ruling parties they support have become corrupt.
Instead of focusing on the disagreements merge that frustration and unit to create a new party that can manage both interests and conduct government more inline of how our forefathers set up!

[gazpachopolice]

That at of shoving another president just to be the centre of attention was the most childish act I've seen any world leader do. So cringe worthy!

[catwilliamson]

I wish the press would take this opportunity to show the similarities between Trump's talking points (e.g. "Fake news", controlling the press, misinformation) with Putin's and other authoritarian leaders.
