> Why would Putin invade Ukraine or fuck with Ukraine when the party in power hates Russia and will spend untold billions to stop Russia.

Wait so... why would he? Considering this is exactly what he did?

Could it be that there are other components to a decision to invade than merely who is in power halfway around the world? There's nothing incompatible with this and the idea they he'd prefer Trump, or any NATO-withdrawing and foreign-aid withholding party, in power.

We'll IF Trump is so "friendly" to Russia and he is Russia's pocket why wouldn't Putin invade when Trump (Putins ally according to the left) is controlling the US military.

Why would Putin invade when a Democrat is president. It makes zero sense.

I didn't claim any of those things my dude. I claimed that Putin has a preference for Trump, at least in 2016, as stated by Putin himself and as confirmed independently by the USIC after investigating Russia's influence campaigns.
