This is a good timeline. But you omit a lot of key details. 1. Trump's weird connection to Russia was well publicized during GOP primary. 2. Russia's use of social media to undermine trust in US news media was being reported as far back as 2014.

3. Wikileaks teased a leaks detailing Russia government corruption. It never materialized. This wasn't long before Snowden.

4. Putin is clearly interested in asserting Russia's geopolitical power. His support of Assad has everything to do w/ protecting the interests of his country. There's nothing wrong w/ this, mind. But it is disingenuous to the extreme to gloss over very real anti West posturing.

I think you're missing the fact that Putin and Russia have common interests with us. There's no particular reason we should be "allies" with Germany and not Russia.

I don't disagree that US & Russia have common interests & should be friends. I'm not opposed to better relations w/ Russia. But that doesn't mean I'm going to ignore some truly awful things that evidence strongly suspects they've done to US & others since 2012.
