Idk, time will tell either way. All I am saying is it would have been nice to see it tried. Russia isn't going to work with us when all we care about is climate change, gay weddings, and Islam.
Also any of the progressive presidents in the past were always anti Russia because it was easy.
We should be leveraging Russian resources against the Middle East countries to put the squeeze on the economically. At least until they get their Islam problems under control.
Putin doesn't respect Trump, and he hates Clinton. It didn't matter who won in November, we were going to be in for four years of poor relations with Russia. Really, as long as Putin is in power there will be tensions. Part of his power is based on there being tension between our countries. I got to here a former US ambassador to Russia discuss the relations between our countries and it was very interesting to get that perspective on how things are going. I'd love to know everything he knows, because I can only imagine the things he cannot say.
