It's like nothing has been done under Trump's leadership.  People have to work around and against him. He believes Putin over his own intel agencies, right? https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-dhs-guts-task-forces-protecting-elections-from-foreign-meddling

Russia WAS caught. And then Obama FLAT OUT punished Russia, knowing that Putin was behind it.

Trump thought it could have been China or a 400 Lb guy. No reason why Russia would back a Putin lover with no governing experience and plans to undo 70 years of US foreign policy. The guy who is responsible for protecting the nation doesn't want to admit the threat exists.

Congress had to sanction Russia over his objections.

Punish?  Why not start instituting policies and procedures for making sure it won't happen again. You are having difficulty imagining that defense and prevention are even possible.

LOL Obviously missing some things here.
I already mentioned the ejections of the 35 or so Russians and obviously wasn't nearly enough, even the sanctions drawn up and then Enforced by Trump.

Punish? Is not tossing out 35 diplomats not a punishment along with the Sanctions?

Would you rather Trump directly and verbally accuse Putin in public and get ready to run for the Red Button? or try to gloss it over and keep things somewhat peaceful and handle it internally?

Honestly, we are back to Trump can do nothing right.
