Since 2016, relations between U.S. and Russia have chilled, with U.S. intelligence agencies accusing Moscow of interfering with the 2016 election.
Wait. Since 2016? That's when relations between America and Russia soured?
Not 2014 when Russia invaded Ukraine?
Not 2008 when Russia invaded Georgia?
Bad relations started in 2016? Over largely ineffective intervention in our election? Intervention our government knew about and ignored because they didn't think it would stop their candidate from winning? Which is something Russia (and the Soviets before them) have long done here (and elsewhere)?
Huh.
I guess my observation in 2016 was absolutely correct, even if you just count the Russian issues I listed since the issue here is US-Russian relations:
Trump wins election. Blood and Guts President Obama vows that this Russian cyber-aggression will not stand[.]
It is telling that Democrats were just fine with Russia prior to fall 2016, despite increasing Russian hostility, no?
