Breitbart: Pelosi Calls for FBI Investigation to Find Out ‘What the Russians Have on Donald Trump’

Honestly, I get the feeling that Putin wants Trump to be his buddy so Russia could expand its Sphere of Influence in the world.

Trump, I feel, thinks of Putin as being a business partner who can advance United State of America, Inc's interest.

There could be some sort of symbiotic relationship---some of which could be related to what Putin has on Trump.

But maybe not.

Putin made it clear that he doesn't have anything on Trump, which I believe would tend to discredit any future stuff he would blackmail Trump with.

And I'm wondering just how much interest Putin would have had in a small potatoes billionaire minor celebrity.

But I love the conspiracy stuff.

Whatever happened with that pee pee dossier and that ex-spy on the lamb anyways?

I think that's a possibility. They would make a formidable pair, indeed.

But I'm still concerned about having Russia as an ally who can manipulate Trump.

We have to look at the fact that Russia was once Soviet, and that one of the Soviets' goals was world domination (that was part of the Leninist/Stalinist/Marxist ideology).

And that Putin was a member of the KGB, rising to the rank of colonel. Hence, he might have designs about returning Russia to its Soviet past. Also: he's been in power since 1999 (18 years). That, alone, causes concern in me.

In my opinion, we have to be wary of Russia for historical reasons.

I'm not against Communism in theory, necessarily. I'm against how Communism manifested itself in places like the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China.

It's because we thoroughly destroyed both countries (especially Japan), and we were able to exert our influence upon them very thoroughly, so that they were no longer a threat. This influence continues to this day.

Soviet Russia was actually our ally during World War II. And they are a more formidable opponent today. We can't "destroy" Russia like we did Germany and Japan.

I feel Trump's dalliance with Putin is a very dangerous game. Many Republicans and Democrats agree.

We should work with Russia to get rid of ISIS. But we should still be VERY wary.

On my mother's side, I am of Russian/Jewish descent.

I have a very great love for Russian literature and Russian culture.

I feel that people, by and large, were threatened by "Communism." They were afraid that Communists would invade the world, and force us to live under their system. This was a very great fear until the Soviet Union was dissolved.

We were also in a "race" with Soviet Russia, like BTDT. Pure ego.

Supposedly he has gotten money from the Russian mob,but there isn't any proof that I know of.
More likely some sort of shady business deals with ties to the mob.

Wouldn't it be swell if Trump had something on Putin, too?

/\If that were true Trump would have been toast already.
