It’s déjà vu all over again.
First
US President Donald Trump meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin
in Helsinki and appears to make some progress towards his stated goal of
putting ties between Washington and Moscow on a positive course.
Immediately, all hell breaks loose. Trump is a called a traitor. The “sanctions bill from hell” is introduced in the Senate. Trump is forced on the defensive.
Next
Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky visits Moscow, where he meets
with Putin and gives him a letter from Trump proposing moderate steps
towards rapprochement. Paul also talks with Russian Senators and invites
them to come to Washington to continue the dialogue. Immediately, all
hell breaks loose. Paul is called a traitor. The State Department
“finds” the Russians guilty of the using illegal chemical weapons (CW) in the United Kingdom and imposes sanctions. Trump is forced even more on the defensive.
