Russia does not have to be an enemy. If Nixon could go to Moscow in 1972 to start Glasnost then we can find a way to deal with Putin and find a way to deescalate tensions.

I have no doubt had Hillary won some sort of war with Russia might have happened. No one will win in any kind of war, it has to be avoided.

To paraphrase Frankie Five Angels in “Godfather II”, “you can do business with Putin, you can respect Putin, but you can never trust Putin.” That is the mantra Trump needs to live by with Putin.

That’s exactly what this is.

We’ve determined that China is now the greater enemy and we are trying to woo Russia into our corner against them.

All that is the old Triangulation Strategy Nixon employed when he was dealing with Russia and China. One that we need to use now.

The US engineered those protests in Kiev which toppled a legally elected pro-Russia gov. The gov that took its place is pro-US/EU but was never elected by eastern Ukraine and Crimea. It's not comfortable that the EU and NATO keep extending their borders. We have absolutely no business being in Ukraine.

President Trump should read history for himself, from the causes of WW1 until the present day. Otherwise, he's victim to those who want never-ending war making the decisions for him.

[Trump needs to STOP listening to the Swamp in this stuff.]


I agree. Neville Chamberlain’s success at arranging for the transfer of the ethnic German-majority Sudetenland to Germany turned out to be the foundation of decades of lasting peace. At long last, German territorial ambitions in Europe had been sated and the German Chancellor was content to count his winnings rather than engage in more military ventures on the European continent.
