1.   Implementing a Nuclear Posture Review with a more aggressive stance toward Russia

Last year Trump's Department of Defense rolled out a Nuclear Posture Review which CNN itself called "its toughest line yet against Russia's 
resurgent nuclear forces."

"In its newly released Nuclear Posture Review, the Defense Department has focused much of its multi-billion nuclear effort on an updated 
nuclear deterrence focused on Russia," CNN reported last year.

This revision of nuclear policy includes the new implementation of  "low-yield" nuclear weapons, which, because they are designed to be 
more "usable" than conventional nuclear ordinances, have been called "the most dangerous weapon ever" by critics of this insane policy. 
These weapons, which can remove some of the inhibitions that mutually assured destruction would normally give military commanders, have 
already been rolled off the assembly line.

2.   Arming Ukraine

Lost in the gibberish about Trump temporarily withholding military aide to supposedly pressure a Ukrainian government who was never even 
aware of being pressured is the fact that arming Ukraine against Russia is an entirely new policy that was introduced by the Trump 
administration in the first place. Even the Obama administration, which was plenty hawkish toward Russia in its own right, refused to 
implement this extremely provocative escalation against Moscow. It was not until Obama was replaced with the worst Putin puppet of all time 
that this policy was put in place.

3. Bombing Syria

Another escalation Trump took against Russia which Obama wasn't hawkish enough to also do was bombing the Syrian government, a longtime 
ally of Moscow. These air-strikes in April 2017 and April 2018 were perpetrated in retaliation for chemical weapons use allegations that 
there is no legitimate reason to trust at this point.

4.   Staging coup attempts in Venezuela

Venezuela, another Russian ally, has been the subject of relentless coup attempts from the Trump administration which persist 
unsuccessfully to this very day. Trump's attempts to topple the Venezuelan government have been so violent and aggressive that the 
starvation sanctions which he has implemented are believed to have killed tens of thousands of Venezuelan civilians.

Trump has reportedly spoken frequently of a U.S. military invasion to oust Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, provoking a forceful rebuke 
from Moscow.

"Signals coming from certain capitals indicating the possibility of external military interference look particularly disquieting," the 
Russian Foreign Ministry said. "We warn against such reckless actions, which threaten catastrophic consequences."

5.   Withdrawing from the INF treaty

For a president who's "soft" on Russia, Trump has sure been eager to keep postures between the two nations extremely aggressive in nature. 
This administration has withdrawn from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, prompting UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres 
to declare that "the world lost an invaluable brake on nuclear war." It appears entirely possible that Trump will continue to adhere to the 
John Bolton school of nuclear weapons treaties until they all lie in tatters, with the administration strongly criticizing the crucial New 
START Treaty which expires in early 2021.

Some particularly demented Russiagaters try to argue that Trump withdrawing from these treaties benefits Russia in some way. These people 
either (A) believe that treaties only go one way, (B) believe that a nation with an economy the size of South Korea can compete with the 
U.S. in an arms race, (C) believe that Russians are immune to nuclear radiation, or (D) all of the above. Withdrawing from these treaties 
benefits no one but the military-industrial complex.

6. Ending the Open Skies Treaty

"The Trump administration has taken steps toward leaving a nearly three-decade-old agreement designed to reduce the risk of war between 
Russia and the West by allowing both sides to conduct reconnaissance flights over one another's territories," The Wall Street Journal 
reported last month, adding that the administration has alleged that "Russia has interfered with American monitoring flights while using 
its missions to gather intelligence in the US."

Again, if you subscribe to the bizarre belief that withdrawing from this treaty benefits Russia, please think harder. Or ask the Russians 
themselves how they feel about it:

"US plans to withdraw from the Open Skies Treaty lower the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons and multiply the risks for the whole 
world, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said," Sputnik reports.

"All this negatively affects the predictability of the military-strategic situation and lowers the threshold for the use of nuclear 
weapons, which drastically increases the risks for the whole humanity," Patrushev said.

"In general, it is becoming apparent that Washington intends to use its technological leadership in order to maintain strategic dominance 
in the information space by actually pursuing a policy of imposing its conditions on states that are lagging behind in digital 
development," he added.

7. Selling Patriot missiles to Poland

"Poland signed the largest arms procurement deal in its history on Wednesday, agreeing with the United States to buy Raytheon Co's Patriot 
missile defense system for $4.75 billion in a major step to modernize its forces against a bolder Russia," Reuters reported last year.

8. Occupying Syrian oil fields

The Trump administration has been open about the fact that it is not only maintaining a military presence in Syria to control the nation's 
oil, but that it is doing so in order to deprive the nation's government of that financial resource. Syria's ally Russia strongly opposes 
this, accusing the Trump administration of nothing short of "international state banditry".

"In a statement, Russia's defense ministry said Washington had no mandate under international or US law to increase its military presence 
in Syria and said its plan was not motivated by genuine security concerns in the region," Reuters reported last month.

"Therefore Washington's current actions - capturing and maintaining military control over oil fields in eastern Syria - is, simply put, 
international state banditry," Russia's defense ministry said.

9. Killing Russians in Syria

Reports have placed Russian casualties anywhere between a handful and hundreds, but whatever the exact number the U.S. military is known to 
have killed Russian citizens as part of the Trump administration's ongoing Syria occupation in an altercation last year.

10. Tanks in Estonia

Within weeks of taking office, Trump was already sending Abrams battle tanks, Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and other military 
hardware right up to Russia's border as part of a NATO operation.

"Atlantic Resolve is a demonstration of continued US commitment to collective security through a series of actions designed to reassure 
NATO allies and partners of America's dedication to enduring peace and stability in the region in light of the Russian intervention in 
Ukraine," the Defense Department said in a statement.

11. War ships in the Black Sea

12. Sanctions

Trump approved new sanctions against Russia on August 2017. CNN reports the following:

"US President Donald Trump approved fresh sanctions on Russia Wednesday after Congress showed overwhelming bipartisan support for the new 
measures," CNN reported at the time. "Congress passed the bill last week in response to Russia's interference in the 2016 US election, as 
well as its human rights violations, annexation of Crimea and military operations in eastern Ukraine. The bill's passage drew ire from 
Moscow - which responded by stripping 755 staff members and two properties from US missions in the country - all but crushing any hope for 
the reset in US-Russian relations that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had called for."

"A full-fledged trade war has been declared on Russia," said Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in response.

13. More sanctions

"The United States imposed sanctions on five Russian individuals on Wednesday, including the leader of the Republic of Chechnya, for 
alleged human rights abuses and involvement in criminal conspiracies, a sign that the Trump administration is ratcheting up pressure on 
Russia," The New York Times reported in December 2017.

14. Still more sanctions

"Trump just hit Russian oligarchs with the most aggressive sanctions yet," reads aVice headline from April of last year.

"The sanctions target seven oligarchs and 12 companies under their ownership or control, 17 senior Russian government officials, and a 
state-owned Russian weapons trading company and its subsidiary, a Russian bank," Vice reports. "While the move is aimed, in part, at 
Russia's role in the U.S. 2016 election, senior U.S. government officials also stressed that the new measures seek to penalize Russia's 
recent bout of international troublemaking more broadly, including its support for Syrian President Bashar Assad and military activity in 
eastern Ukraine."

15. Even more sanctions

The Trump administration hit Russia with more sanctions for the alleged Skripal poisoning in August of last year, then hit them with 
another round of sanctions for the same reason again in August of this year.

16. Guess what? MORE sanctions

"The Trump administration on Thursday imposed new sanctions on a dozen individuals and entities in response to Russia's annexation of 
Crimea," The Hill reported in November of last year. "The group includes a company linked to Bank Rossiya and Russian businessman Yuri 
Kovalchuk and others accused of operating in Crimea, which the U.S. says Russia seized illegally in 2014."

17. Oh hey, more sanctions

"Today, the United States continues to take action in response to Russian attempts to influence US democratic processes by imposing 
sanctions on four entities and seven individuals associated with the Internet Research Agency and its financier, Yevgeniy Prigozhin. This 
action increases pressure on Prigozhin by targeting his luxury assets, including three aircraft and a vessel," reads a statement by 
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from September of this year.

18. Secondary sanctions

Secondary sanctions are economic sanctions in which a third party is punished for breaching the primary sanctions of the sanctioning body. 
The U.S. has leveled sanctions against both China and Turkey for purchasing Russian S-400 air defense missiles, and it is threatening to do 
so to India as well.

19. Forcing Russian media to register as foreign agents

Both RT and Sputnik have been forced to register as "foreign agents" by the Trump administration. This classification forced the outlets to 
post a disclaimer on content, to report their activities and funding sources to the Department of Justice twice a year, and could arguably 
place an unrealistic burden on all their social media activities as it submits to DOJ micromanagement.

20. Throwing out Russian diplomats

The Trump administration joined some 20 other nations in casting out scores of Russian diplomats as an immediate response to the Skripal 
poisoning incident in the U.K.

21. Training Polish and Latvian fighters "to resist Russian aggression"

"US Army Special Forces soldiers completed the first irregular and unconventional warfare training iteration for members of the Polish 
Territorial Defense Forces and Latvian Zemmessardze as a part of the Ridge Runner program in West Virginia, according to service 
officials," Army Times reported this past July.

"U.S. special operations forces have been training more with allies from the Baltic states and other Eastern European nations in the wake 
of the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014," Army Times writes. "A low-level conflict continues to simmer in eastern 
Ukraine's Donbas region between Russian-backed separatists and government forces to this day. The conflict spurred the Baltics into action, 
as Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia embraced the concepts of total defense and unconventional warfare, combining active-duty, national guard 
and reserve-styled forces to each take on different missions to resist Russian aggression and even occupation."

22. Refusal to recognize Crimea as part of the Russian Federation even while acknowledging Israel's illegal annexation of the Golan Heights 
as perfectly legal and legitimate.

23. Sending 1,000 troops to Poland

From the September article "1000 US Troops Are Headed to Poland" by National Interest:

Key point: Trump agreed to send more forces to Poland to defend it against Russia.

What Happened: U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to deploy approximately 1,000 additional U.S. troops to Poland during a meeting with 
Polish President Andrzej Duda on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York City, Reuters reported Sept. 23.

Why It Matters: The deal, which formalizes the United States' commitment to protecting Poland from Russia, provides a diplomatic victory to 
Duda and his governing Law and Justice ahead of November elections. The additional U.S. troops will likely prompt a reactive military 
buildup from Moscow in places like neighboring Kaliningrad and, potentially, Belarus.

24. Withdrawing from the Iran deal

Russia has been consistently opposed to Trump's destruction of the JCPOA. In a statement after Trump killed the deal, the Russian Foreign 
Ministry said it was "deeply disappointed by the decision of US President Donald Trump to unilaterally refuse to carry out commitments 
under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action", adding that this administration's actions were "trampling on the norms of international 
law".

25. Attacking Russian gas interests

Trump has been threatening Germany with sanctions and troop withdrawal if it continues to support a gas pipeline from Russia called Nord 
Stream 2.

"Echoing previous threats about German support for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, Trump said he's looking at sanctions to block the project 
he's warned would leave Berlin 'captive' to Moscow," Bloomberg reports. "The US also hopes to export its own liquefied natural gas to 
Germany."

"We're protecting Germany from Russia, and Russia is getting billions and billions of dollars in money from Germany" for its gas, Trump 
told the press.

Trump's Net Worth Hits $6.5 Billion, Making Him One of World's 500 Richest People

Time:

Reports on how much Trump is worth vary. While Forbes' current estimation of Trump's real-time net worth is 
$2.6 billion, and Bloomberg pegs it at $3.1 billion, that amount could increase by billions given the new 
merger between Digital World Acquisition Corp. and Trump Media and Technology Group that was approved on

Top 10 Trump accomplishments of 2020

This year has been dominated by the pain and suffering thrust upon the globe by the criminal acts of the Chinese Communist Party. Even amid 
these harsh challenges, President Trump persevered to reach historic achievements. Therefore, as the year draws to its conclusion, it is 
worth detailing his 2020 accomplishments, as I have previously catalogued for each of the last three years.

The Vaccine:

Millions of Americans have begun the process of inoculation, leading to an eventual reality where COVID-19 becomes a bad memory. The speed 
of this achievement defied skeptics and amazed scientists everywhere. Along with the brilliant government researchers and innovative 
private sector pharmaceutical companies, President Trump deserves enormous credit for his inspiring leadership of Operation Warp Speed.

Broadening the Nationalist Movement:

The "America First" uprising pre-dated Trump's entry into politics, with roots in the Tea Party cause. But the movement found its 
indispensable leader in Trump. Not content with his upstart victory of 2016, Trump massively broadened the movement, in every sense. 
Geographically, Trump gained vote share in each of America's four largest cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston) in 2020 vs. 
2016. He added 500,000 raw new votes in Los Angeles County alone. Among the 11 million new voters rallying to Trump's candidacy were 
millions of Latinos, as the president split the Hispanic vote in Florida and gained 10 percentage points over 2016 to earn 40% of the 
Hispanic vote in Texas. Under Trump's leadership,  in 2020 the America First cause morphed into a large, sustainable, multi-ethnic, cross-
racial workers' movement.

Abraham Accords:

For the first time in a quarter-century, Arab nations agreed to normalized relations with Israel. President Trump harnessed diplomacy 
combined with toughness toward Iran to forge truly historic new ties in the region. The 2020 agreement among Israel, the United Arab 
Emirates and Bahrain represents a massive breakthrough, one that encouraged similar pacts with Morocco and Sudan.

Economic Recovery:

The rally from the spring lockdown lows defied all predictions, and included massive surges in home and automobile sales, as pickup truck 
purchases soared to all-time highs. The U.S. economic performance was the envy of the advanced world. The U.S. stock market roared back far 
higher than the indices of Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Simply put, in 2020 the United States was an island of growth amid an 
economically stagnant

The Wall:

Contrary to the media narrative, considerable progress has been made in building the president's controversial border barrier, despite 
constant obstructionism from both Congress and the courts - and the unrelenting hostility of the press. Some 423 new miles of impressive 
border walling now stand guard at our southern border. Officials of Customs and Border Protection make it clear that the wall plus Trump's 
"remain-in-Mexico" asylum policy regained control of our previously lawless border region.

Trade Agreements:

For decades, our government pursued disastrous trade deals at the behest of K Street lobbyists, benefiting foreign nations plus the top 
executives of American multinationals, regardless of the harm to American workers. Donald Trump won the presidency vowing to fix these 
untenable trade structures, and in 2020 he signed the USMCA pact with our neighbors Mexico and Canada, a material improvement over the 
outdated and unfair NAFTA championed by bipartisan globalists. This success led to the Phase Two agreement with China as well, continuing 
the process of holding Beijing to account for its massive abuses of America via product dumping, industrial espionage, and a dearth of 
trade reciprocity.

Afghan Peace Deal:

This commander-in-chief pursued an America First foreign policy of realism and restraint. It paid off. As made clear by the December 2019 
bombshell "Afghanistan Papers," published by the Washington Post, Trump's predecessors misled our citizens while wasting precious American 
lives and treasure during that pointless two-decade war. Trump is winding down such adventurism and reached a historic peace deal with the 
Taliban in 2020. Despite howls from the "America Everywhere" foreign policy establishment inside the D.C. Beltway, Trump's deal to end the 
Afghan war has won rare, broad, bipartisan support among voters.

Striking Down Terrorists:

Instead of wasteful and unsuccessful mass invasions or grandiose commitments to "nation-building," this president used surgical strikes to 
eradicate threats to our security. After America's successful hit against ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2019, the 2020 strike against 
Iranian military leader and terrorism exporter Qasem Soleimani eliminated perhaps the most dangerous terrorist in the Middle East. 
Soleimani directly engineered the slaughter of American troops in Iraq, and he met instant justice courtesy of American missiles in an 
attack ordered by an intrepid commander-in-chief.

Space Force:

The first new branch of the U.S. military in decades, President Trump showcased his vision as an unpredictable political leader in 
establishing Space Force as the sixth U.S. military branch as part of the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. America now stands as 
the only country with an independent, dedicated military space force. Such foresight highlights Trump's willingness to think in 
unconventional ways.

March for Life:

Donald J. Trump became the first U.S. president to attend the annual massive pro-life march in Washington, solidifying his stature as the 
most pro-life president in American history. In so doing, he fulfilled campaign promises to protect unborn life as well as religious 
liberty. The president boldly declared that "every child is a precious and sacred gift from God."

At home and abroad, President Trump proved that there is, indeed, method to his madness. Though his unorthodox and sometimes frenetic 
approach confounds his critics, Trump's disruptive leadership remained highly effective in 2020, even as our country and his administration 
faced many unwelcome challenges. Whatever the future holds for him, the 45th U.S. president compiled a record of achievement over these 
last four years that is impressive and historic.
