Its not clear how USA and NATO increased defense spending, support for lower fuel prices, arming Ukraine is proof of an "asset". But ok.

We already know what Flynn said and we know that there was no crime or national security issue involved. And we know that the FBI agents and now the DOJ were not convinced he lied.
So that is now dismissed.
With respect to Stone, the question is what did Mueller say Stone lied about. And what Mueller said is that after the Wikileaks release, the campaign was excited and reached out to Stone to see if he could reach out to Wikileaks about future releases (and Stone lied about this).
What this means in reality is that there was no conspiracy because if there had been one there would have been no reason to reach out to Stone.
-
Because Flynn was fired and there was no crime.

As above.

So now you are complaining that Trump didn't gripe to Germany et. al enough about their efforts to become more dependent on Russian energy.
Damned if he does, damned if he doesnt.

I guess he completed what Obama started.
All of your answers were purposefully obtuse. Damn, it makes me mad. I refuse to believe that this nonsense is a true representation of your intellect. You are smarter than this:
1) Trump clearly withheld funds and dangled armament in front of Ukraine against Russian aggression, for no reason truly explained. The fact that European financing towards NATO has increased yearly, since Trump's
false accusation of it being obsolete, should not distract from Trump's seemingly clear agenda to open the door to Russian geopolitical expansion into western Europe. Pressure to one (somewhat necessary, but not on a public stage), does not excuse what was allowed for a clear American enemy. Again, for an entire year, for no real reason explained, TTIP was tabled, which allowed Russian foreign policy to flourish into even Western Europe. Why? Um...malicious or just stupidity?
2) Flynn and Stone's crime was that they chose to lie to the FBI; and this absolutely involved them choosing their loyalty to an individual (Trump) over their country (making them, especially Flynn, an American disgrace). Simple enough, yeah? But why lie? Even Trump tossed out the illusion that he didn't understand why they lied. Nothing to hide, means nothing to lie about, right? Clearly, Flynn figured that he had to lie about something. Enter the historians to help future generations understand better than their dip**** fathers and mothers who allowed themselves to be easily duped and susceptible to contemporary radical right-wing manipulation. ...And this is where I think of the duped conservative history when it comes to Nixon.
3) No, the fundamentals of a nation's foreign policy is very clear to those who read and study it. Germany and France's foreign policy do not include a dependence on Russia for their energy needs. It's clearly written in a way that involves multi-national defense and American support. But given the choice between national survival and what those trusted have chosen to politically do, "nations" will eventually choose survival. This is why much of eastern Europe's decisions and some of western European decisions look like while Trump played Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) games.
4) Obama's "wait-and-see" policy is not the retreat that Trump's decisions have created. Trump's routine unilateral decisions contradict even his own published 2017 National Strategic Strategy. Whatever Trump has done has nothing to do with an Obama agenda. In fact, as much as you people ignorantly complain about Obama's policies I would think that celebrating Trump's "completion" of said policy would be disgusting to you. This is how you should be able to understand how absolutely full of **** your partisan whining is.
To this day, we (those of us who actually give a damn about our America) have no idea why Trump would encourage this behavior. But this is beyond you, isn't it?
