My comments about the Russia debate between Cenk Uygur & Kyle Kulinski

I try to keep up with #TrumpRussia news but I'm not gonna lie, sometimes I fail to follow the sequence of events from the Mueller investigation's indictments. I don't feel that bad because even reporters (NYTimes, WaPo, etc.) don't seem to know what Mueller is up to either. It's all speculation at this moment in time.

With that in mind, I watched the debate between Cenk and Kyle. & it was informative:

First of all, I agree with both Cenk and Kyle on most of the different topics discussed, like the money laundering aspect. Actually, this morning on MSNBC, Stephanie Ruhle mentioned the fact Trump always says "there was no collusion" but the Donald never says "there was no money laundering". & I think that's a fair observation which is very interesting but will never be acknowledged by the Trump administration.

But there were some disagreements on my part, mostly with Kyle.
For example: I do agree with Kyle about MSNBC sometimes going overboard with the Russia coverage to the detriment of discussing economic issues: especially Rachel Maddow. But despite that, I always watch Maddow's show. Mainly, because I don't want to miss a key episode where the Mueller investigation's direction starts to make sense (to me at least). So when you question MSNBC's objective as far as #TrumpRussia. of course that is to get RATINGS. But in addition, Maddow seems genuinely interested in #TrumpRussia, so it's a win-win situation for the network.

Therefore, Maddow's #TrumpRussia obsession doesn't bother me too much since they (Maddow & her staff) might actually be on to something.

Secondly, Kyle describes the belief from some on the left about potential Trump treason as a "Democratic Benghazi" as if that would be something positive for Trump. But Republicans went on & on about Benghazi (despite the fact there was nothing there) & the GOP actually achieved their political objective: Hillary lost. 

Thirdly, Kyle mentions how the "deep state" expanded "our" border near Russia through NATO. However, he fails to mention that's what those Eastern European countries wanted in the first place. Romania, Estonia, etc. wanted to join the EU & NATO. Mainly, for the economic benefits. Comparing it with Russian troops in Mexico doesn't make sense. Because if the superpower roles were reversed, and the Soviet Union had won the cold war & as a result, the United States had ceased to exist in its previous form, Mexico might actually have been forced to make an alliance with the Soviet Union in order to survive (in the economic sense). Not to mention, as Cenk says, NATO has treaties which they have to enforce otherwise we will have potential international incidents if our "treaties don't mean anything".

Finally, Kyle says Trump getting impeached & us ending up with Pence would be a problem. But I don't think so. It would be fine with me. Trump is doing what any generic republican would do anyways, tax cuts for the rich & ending regulations. But we have the added problem which is that Trump is a troll who constantly insults minorities (like myself). 
Nevertheless, my disagreements are minor taking into account the length of the video & the different issues discussed. 
Therefore, I recommend you actually watch the video. Also: support & watch independent journalist videos on YouTube,
