Trump, Obama, and Russia: A litany of hypocrisies

In the news conference with Putin and Trump, Putin mentioned that leftist billionaire George Soros meddles in elections.  Why isn't that being reported today?  Is it because Soros is a major benefactor of Democrats and that the media like his meddling?  We also know that the Obama State Department meddled in the Israeli election, so why doesn't the press care about that?

Jack Hellner  "Isn't it time the media reported the truth about who has been tougher on Russia among Obama, Europe, Hillary, Kerry, and Trump instead of continually regurgitating talking points that Trump is soft on Russia?

"In the first year of Obama's presidency, he reneged on a commitment to put missile shields in Poland and the Czech Republic, all to appease Russia.  He actually said he did it because Iran was dangerous.  Here is what the press wasreporting then:

Barack Obama has abandoned the controversial Pentagon plan to build a missile defence system in Europe that had long soured relations with Russia.

"In the first year of Trump's presidency, on the other hand, Trump agreed to put up the missile defense to counter Russia.  Take a look:

In a move set to counter Russia's reinforcement on NATO's borders, Poland and the U.S. have agreed that Warsaw will purchase the American-made Patriot air defense missile, the Polish government announced Thursday.

"Obama essentially didn't lift a finger when Putin attacked Ukraine.

"Trump is providing weapons in defiance of Putin and Russia.

. . . 

"Obama drew a red line in Syria about chemical weapons.  Then Obama did nothing about chemical attacks.  Then Obama, Kerry, and the Putin regime brokered a deal to pretend that that Syrian dictator and Putin ally Bashar al-Assad got rid of the chemical weapons.  Worse still, they trusted Putin to monitor the deal.

"Trump actually bombed Syria in defiance of Russia when Assad subsequently used the weapons that Kerry said were gone." . . .

If the media and other Democrats actually were worried about election integrity, they would support photo IDs to vote, as Mexico does, and as almost all countries in the world require.  The fact that politicians from around the United States require photo IDs for so many things in daily life yet pretend that somehow people aren't able to get them to vote shows they don't actually care about election integrity.
