What Trump actually said is that NATO is taking advantage of the U.S. taxpayer by having weak military spending and letting the U.S. pick up the slack. He is trying to pressure them to pull their weight.

There is no Russian aggression. You are completely ignorant of the geopolitical situation and have fallen for propaganda. Russia is simply a country that wishes to remain independent of the "New World Order".
The west has been massively threatening to Russia. It engineered a coup in the Ukraine completely screwing over Russian interests in the region. It has threatened Russian interests in Syria. It has developed missile shield technology, under the ridiculous pretext of threat from Iran, that is capable of being used offensively not just defensively.

To say that Trump "likes" Putin is juvenile. Trump has simply been trying to ease tension with Russia which is what anyone who isn't mad would do. Obama / Hillary have been taunting the Russian bear which is incredibly stupid.
@Austrian
There was actually no evidence of Russia hacking Dems. Although they cert. could have but from what I recall it was just pure speculation. The emails came out and Hillary was quick to blame it on Trump as a way to divert it from the original content of the emails.
Hello again, AS:
Ahhh.. Seems like taunting our ENEMY is just a FINE thing to do.. Unless, you like Putin too.

They are not our enemy.
Goading your enemy is what people do when they want to provoke them into attacking first. That way they can respond with outrage and claim the moral high ground. They can present themselves as a victim of aggression and then self righteously counter attack. For someone who desires peace, goading has no function. The west should be strong but non aggressive.
I don't like Putin but I do admire his abilities. I'm sure Putin didn't get to the top of the KGB without being one bad ass psycho. Though he is probably an angel compared to the scum that rules us.
Russia is the only major power that appears to be resisting the New World Order. The enemy of your enemy is your friend.
The hope for humanity is keeping the powers that be in a permanent deadlock. If a world government ever forms we're unlikely to survive.
If you see international relations as the good guys (us) versus the bad guys, you have the mind of a child. The world is run by evil people. It always has been. It always will be.
I think you're wrong on more than one count.
'There is not Russian aggression' is one. Of course, it may still pale in comparison with the biggest bully on Earth the good ole' USA.
Peaceofmind... yup the Russian ploy by Hillary and Obama was just an excuse to keep the focus on Trump and not on themselves. Clever but anyone with a brain can see it for what it is... those who don't are left in the dark =D
No, no evidence at all, except for all the, you know, evidence: https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/bears-midst-intrusion-democratic-n...
Just because the news can be exploited to be used against Trump, doesn't mean it's not true.

If a nonpartisan, private security firm's findings don't count as evidence to you, I would imagine that nothing would.
Except that there actually IS evidence.

You. You are funny.
Now you sound like him.
He has been calling Obama a terrorist Muslim for so long and in league with them, now we have Trump in league with Russia. If he was, he wouldn't tell us yet. Just like his plans for ISIS. He cannot tell us because they are listening.
Well, do you think Russia would be pleased to hear he is bragging about being in league with them? I don't think that would fly since he is NOT. And if he was, how does that help our relations with them as a country. I think they need to please us more than brag about being friends with DONALD TRUMP.
Rpf just when the hacked emails are released and suddenly there's an uproar but then they divert to "Russians did it" and "Trump" yes anyone can see it for what it is.
There's nothing linking Russia to this particular set of emails. That link is about the past 2015. April and June 2016.
Of course there's an uproar when Wikileaks makes it widely known. The suspicious part about the timing is not whether the connection to Russia is real or not, but whether this was deliberately engineered to coincide with a critical point in the campaign with regards to internet security. One could argue that either the Republicans manipulated Assange into releasing the info now, to make the DNC look bad, or the Democrats had a hand in the timing, to link Trump with Russia. Or it could be neither.
But the facts are, Trump has spoken in praise of Putin, has bragged about meeting him, but now denies it, has gone on to appeal to Russian at a press conference to produce Clinton's missing emails, and appears that he may be hiding financial ties to Russia in his undisclosed tax returns (which I kind of doubt, really, but it gives the appearance that he might be). Of course the Democrats would use that.
On the Democratic side, the DNC does look corrupt, and unethical, but this is a relatively minor concern, against the actual possibility that Trump could be a traitor.
June 15, 2016 UPDATE:
CrowdStrike stands fully by its analysis and findings identifying two separate Russian intelligence-affiliated adversaries present in the DNC network in May 2016. On June 15, 2016 a blog post to a WordPress site authored by an individual using the moniker Guccifer 2.0 claiming credit for breaching the Democratic National Committee. This blog post presents documents alleged to have originated from the DNC.
This sounds so ludicrous as to be laughable. This is supposed to be proof? It could be anyone pretending to BE anyone if they have half a brain. I mean if you know this information, don't you think a good hacker* with a huge brain could think of a way NOT to get caught? Don't you think his chief quality as a hacker would be to ANTICIPATE what happens NEXT and plan for it? You know, like how not to get caught and stuff because they know people are looking for such things as you mention?
Especially if they are supposed to be "RUSSIA"? LOL
Oh, and Marguerite, that Number 6 really is not proof of squat either.
*not someone employed by Donald Trump as a speechwriter for instance
IF the Russians hacked DNC it wouldn't make Trump a traitor because he had no direct connection with them and that would be a far stretch to say so. If comments are enough to say that someone is traitorous then by your logic America is just as traitorous doing relations with the Middle East whose citizens consistently declare war on our civilization and whose gov't (or their "form" of gov't) refer to Americans as pigs.
Maybe Hillary is a traitor for conveniently "losing" all those emails?
The Democrats must be sweating with all those scandals they keep trying to run away from lol but just when you get focused on any they point to the audience and say oh look there's Trump *runs away* =D
