Trump right about root of tensions with Russia: Former US Senate advisor
US President Donald Trump is right that much of bad relations with Russia are driven by the so-called Russia investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller, an analyst says.
Trump tweeted today that, “much of the bad blood with Russia is caused by the Fake & Corrupt Russia Investigation, headed up by the all Democrat loyalists, or people that worked for Obama. Mueller is most conflicted of all (except Rosenstein who signed FISA & Comey letter). No Collusion, so they go crazy!”

“But why is President Trump going along with it? Why is he acting in this belligerent way toward Russia, toward Syria, toward Iran, that he praised during the campaign for fighting against Daesh? It doesn’t make any sense,” James Jatras, a former Senate foreign policy adviser in Washington, told Press TV in an interview on Wednesday.
If Trump follows through with an attack on Syria based on such a “transparent phony claim” that Damascus has deployed chemical weapons, then all bets are off, and the Russians will look at the attack as a very serious act of aggression, especially if Russian personnel are killed, he said.
“This is not just playing with fire, it's playing with a conflagration that could consume the entire world. I hope President Trump knows that.”
In an escalation of tensions between US and Russia, Trump threatening Russia with “smart” missiles on Wednesday.
Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

The tweet came after the United Nations Security Council failed to fend off the prospect of a possible military intervention by the West in the Arab country over an alleged chemical weapons attack that took place outside Damascus over the weekend.
Russia responded by saying that "smart missiles should fly toward terrorists, not legal governments."
