"Sen. Tom Cotton on Sunday urged President-elect Donald Trump to take a firmer stance on Russia, saying Moscow needs a new set of “boundaries” in the global order."

Um, Tom, ... he’s not in office yet.
I think the “moderates” (RINO tendencies) are getting nervous about the issue. Let’s see what Trump has to say about this issue this week first. I bet he’s got some strong evidence that it was NOT the Russians.
STFU Tom Cotton. You are not the President and do not direct policy. You will be dealt with.
That one is kinda tricky. Russia will serve Russian interests. Perhaps the star of "Art of the Deal" can offer Russia a deal that makes it in their interest to back off on supporting Iran. Perhaps Russia will continue selling to Iran for economic reasons, but they will also help us kill the terrorists that Iran is funding. Either one is better than an East-West cold war flaring up in the middle of the Islamic invasion.
Et tu, Tommy?
Russia is not a problem and can be dealt with in a patient manner
Big talk from another feckless, cowardly Congress critter...They gave Obama every thing he wanted and helped drag our country down...Trump has a tremendous amount of work to do to get this place back into shape where other Nations actually respect us...And without respect and the best military imaginable, we have no authority...
He only knows what his “loyal”(?) Staff tells him.
>And Russia is going to stop supporting the terrorist haven, Iran?
Just as soon as we stop supporting Iran.
THAT!!! Almost every Congress Creep out there has a different agenda for America than we and Trump do...And a global order isn't on our list...
Apparently. That would explain the seesaw like action he seems to exhibit. Sometimes I agree with what he says and then other times he couldn’t be further from my point of view. A conservative one minute and a RINO the next.
I haven't heard of Russia flying pallet loads of unmarked bills and gold bars to the Iranians, have you?
Saudi Arabia (and Iran) needs to be brought to heel first.
Cotton campaigned for Juan.
Cotton interviewed for SecDef. Didn’t get the job.
Putin should be invited to watch Trump become President of The United States of America.
Probably not as long as we support the Sunni nations. They see that as very important also.
“John McCain personally lobbied for this junior Senator from Ark to be on the Armed Services Committee.”
I had forgotten about that, but it isn’t surprising, because IIRC Bill Kristol mentioned Cotton as a 3rd party alternative to Trump...along with Rubio and Romney.
You mean the mother #####ers who killed two of my friends and 3000 NYers?
Yeah, let’s ####ing stop that!!
And then let’s tell Saudi Arabia they are going to pay for what they did. I want them strangled into poverty.
I REALLY want them dead but will settle for the first.
You’re not that naive. I know you’re not.
Russia is a chief ally of Iran
They may have good reason.
But let’s not talk silly.
