so, fucker, do you agree with them???? he picked a 'for sure' distraction
(CNN)US President Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that he believes the British government's theory that Russia was likely responsible for the nerve agent attack on a former Russian spy and his daughter in England earlier this month.
"It sounds to me like it would be Russia, based on all the evidence they have," Trump told reporters outside the White House. "It sounds to me like they believe it was Russia and I would certainly take that finding as fact."
Trump added: "As soon as we get the facts straight, if we agree with them, we will condemn Russia or whoever it may be."
Trump also said he would speak to UK Prime Minister Theresa May about the incident.

Aren't we obligated by the NATO agreement to defend them? Or, because Trump is in Putin's pocket, do we violate that agreement and just sit back and watch while Russia takes hostile action against one of our oldest allies?
