Woah, woah, woah, stop right there fellow redditor. It seems you're about to question if a Russian puppet would put pressure on another country for buying and relying on Russian energy. You must see the BIG picture and realize that's exactly what a Russian puppet would do! You see, by acting against Russian interests, Trump is actually doing Kremlin's bidding. There's a salon article on r/politics that will explain to you exactly how this works. While you're there, be sure to also read the articles about Obama telling Russia he'd have "flexibility after the election", ridiculing Mitt Romney for suggesting Russia were a threat by saying "the cold war is over", letting Russia invade Crimea, and selling 1/5 of the American uranium supply to Russia. It doesn't sound good now, but once you've read the articles you'll understand how this is evidence of Obama and the democrats showing strong leadership and were really tough on Russia, and how that all flipped with Trump (who's forced to do as Putin say because Putin has a video of Trump getting urinated on by Russian prostitutes in a supersecret vault).
