Not sure how Obama "let" Putin annex the Crimea, as if that were simply his call. And Putin does not seem to think the international sanctions he incurred were "minimal consequence" as he has been working actively to lift them--in part through contact with members of Trump's campaign.
Viewed through Putin's eyes, looks to me like Obama has been an obstacle to the Kremlin, not a facilitator, if Obama's diplomacy helped engineer these costly sanctions.
If Trump has become a Russian asset, mightn't that be a bigger coup--perhaps the biggest in the history of espionage?

So we have one vote for Obama here, and one action to consider.
Anyone out there think Trump's actions or policies have served Russian national interests to the detriment of American? Remember, the key is to view this from Putin's perspective.
Didnt i hear one of these guys sided with Putin over US Intel Agencies on the global stage. A president siding with Putin in front of the world and saying he is more trustworthy than the work of thousands of dedicated American Citizens working to protect us would be really bad. I figured that was just fake news.
