    Endorsement? Trump retweets claim UK helped design Russiagate to make US take hard line on Moscow

    Published time: 18 Mar, 2019 21:17

    US President Donald Trump has sparked confusion after retweeting a theory that the Russiagate scandal was partly designed to help the UK “counter Russian influence” by “baiting” the US into taking a tougher stance on Moscow.
    The claim was made by William Craddick, founder of Disobedient Media, who was commenting on an earlier tweet by Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard.

    William Craddick:
    Russiagate was designed in part to help the UK counter Russian influence by baiting the United States into taking a hard line against them. Leaves us all with a more dangerous world as a consequence. Just another episode of the Great Game.

    Tulsi Gabbard:
    Short-sighted politicians & media pundits who've spent last 2 years accusing Trump as a Putin puppet have brought us the expensive new Cold War & arms race. How? Because Trump now does everything he can to prove he’s not Putin’s puppet—even if it brings us closer to nuclear war.

    Gabbard’s tweet said that people pushing the narrative of collusion between Trump and Russia were causing Trump to do “everything he can to prove he’s not [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s puppet — even if it brings us closer to nuclear war.”

    Etc.
