Why do people like you keep saying this? The man's too cenile and stupid to even comprehend what's happening, much less plan it. The Globalists are calling the shots which have been in the works for decades, and the marching orders are being carried out by the Deep State which controls the Democratic Party and leaders of the Republican Party. There is little to none that can be done about it.

His controllers need Putin and his philosophy out, Russia is too large a resource to let him influence policy in Europe and Asia.
If they'd do this to the Colonel in Libya and ol' Dr Doom down in Syria, amongst scores of other complicated foreign influences...they got no qualms about shutting out Russia, even at the expense of German, Ukrainian and another citizenry (US).
