- General weakening of relationships with its allies
- Enormous national debt of $21.5 trillion
- Russian influence and/or manipulation capability of US elections
- Russian demonstration of military reach, power, and capability as evidenced by deployment and execution of operations in Syria, successfully achieving mission objectives
- Russian announcement indicating military development of non-detectable/non-interceptable ICBMs
- Approval rating of 81% for Russian President Vladimir Putin (indicating strong solidarity among the Russian people behind their leader), versus the comparatively paltry approval rating
of 35% for President Trump.
