Scarborough: Trump’s Trying to Ease Sanctions on an Oligarch Close to Vladimir Putin

‘This is the biggest prize for Vladimir Putin’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SCARBOROUGH: "Of course, Willy, the white House and those around the president, their statements over the past couple of days that nobody has been tougher on Russia is just an absolute lie. You have the president of the United States trying to get out of the single most important alliance the United States has had in the postwar world. You have Donald Trump doing -- which, by the way, has been every soviet leader's goal. And now this soviet K.G.B. Agent's goal has been the top priority, breaking up nato, undermining nato. And what would their number one goal be geo politically today, getting the United States out of Syria, check. And now you have Donald Trump trying to ease sanctions on an oligarch close to Vladimir Putin."
GEIST: "This is the biggest prize for Vladimir Putin, something he tested when he annexed crimea in 2014, he wants the breakup of nato, the split between Europe and the United States. It goes back to July of last year when the president went to nato, he burst out of the meetings and declared he had gotten everybody to up their commitment to nato. And the next person, president macron, saying no, that's not what happened. It's either the president doing Putin a favor or treating geo politics like a business transaction in New York City where guys have to chip in more."
