Secondly, fracking cuts into russian exports of gas, while getting the USA to hand over expertise and equipment gives them more oil to export at a profit.

Third, why should they only do bad things? If doing something good helps them, why the hell shouldn’t they do it?

What I don’t get is how Russia benefits from having Trump’s fossil fuel policies running America. They were financing anti-fracking movies like Gasland.

Or. If the US goes all BAU on fossil fuels, it potentially fucks up policy trajectory world-wide, which suits the Russians, with their fundamental economic dependence on FF exports, just fine.

Is it anywhere legitimate?

Well orchestrated to get concessions for their signature.

The Russians ate my homework too!

How charming. Someone who presumably thinks the Russians just wouldn’t do such naughty things.

The Russians were fingered for that, too…

And Putin has a simple reason to halt, or at least delay, action on climate change – his big dollars come from Russian fossil fuel sales.

It might, though unlikely to be the case, be from reality.

But there’s no way to tell. Hence it’s again completely worthless.

You don’t really care what you actually think, nor care what reality is. Therefore telling us what your opinion is is pointless and of zero value.
