Trump, and it isn't even close
Obama was weak and ineffective, just like with everything else

Trump has gone down on Russia like nobody’s business. You are whistling through the wheat field if you don’t recognize

Except when 200 of their troops were bombed, right?

Obama wanted to negotiate on missile defense.
I heard him say it. So did you.

President Trump is tougher on Russia in 18 months than Obama in eight years
So much so, the sanctions resemble a Russian nesting doll: one sanction of top of another, on top of another.
Just last April, the Trump administration imposed new sanctions on Russia — including strict sanctions on seven of Russia’s richest individuals and 17 top government officials for their interference in our elections.
The sanctions directly penalized President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle by prohibiting them from traveling to the United States ever again. He did this by opening a bank account in the West, preventing them from doing business with the West and prohibiting anyone else to do business on their behalf.
The sanctions were significant — among the toughest sanctions ever placed on individuals in a foreign country, with the exception of perhaps Iran and North Korea. Yet like many of Trump’s successes, it received minimal mainstream media coverage.
During his first month in office in January 2017, President Trump upheld strict sanctions to punish Russia for its unlawful 2014 annexation of Crimea. With those sanctions, the Trump administration punished more than three dozen individuals and organizations that were behind the invasion of Ukraine.
The Hill

What is the purpose for being tough with Russia?
Clinton had a decent relationship with Russia but Yeltsin was in power until his awful Secretary of State and trying to get attention away form Monica caused a foolish confrontation over Kosovo.
Bush had a decent relationship with the Russians but foreign policy missteps on both sides led to the 2008 war in Georgia along with other issues that strained the relationship.
Obama's policy was by far the worst combining effete weakness with outright duplicity.
I think Trump understands the above but the insanity of both the Democratic Party and the Foreign Policy "elites" is going to result in who knows what.

Obama did send Russian economy into a recession by tanking the price of oil (boosting US production) after Putin sent troops into the Crimea.

I thought Russia had nothing to do with election interference?! Putin said it himself!

I don't get the "Trump is Russia's" buddy narrative. Just from the top of my head:
Tough sanctions
Couple dozen diplomats being expelled
Lethal weapons to Ukraine and Georgia
Killing a couple hundred Russian "mercs" (they weren't mercs)
A "buddy" doesn't do that

Obama and his minions were trying to starve Russia. Bill Browder was stealing everything he could especially natural gas.

We just broke a record last week for oil production. 11 million bpd.
Posted on 7/19/18 at 6:30 pm to thebigmuffaletta
Correct but we also forced iranian crude out of the global oil trade

Obama went to bat for Russia in a presidential debate.
People like you applauded him and laughed at supid Romney.

Swollowswell admitted today on Fox that Trump was tough on Russia, but it didn’t count because he was forced to be tough, but didn’t really want to.
No, really. He said that.
