“ I’d like to see Russia brought into the west.”

Agreed. We are actually natural allies, turned against each other by Communism, and we in the U.S. are to blame for failing to make a friend of Russia beginning in the early ‘90s.

They sold Alaska to us in 1867 - and would never have done so if we weren’t considered friendly. We leased a large part of central NJ to the Russian Army in the late 1800s and early 1900s for them to test artillery shells propelled by DuPont powder - and we would never have done so if we didn’t think of Russia as a friendly nation. Communism came to Russia, and for 75 years we were enemies (except for brief cooperation to defeat Germany in WW2). In the early ‘90s we could have brought them into the fold of Western nations by not being aggressive in foreign policy and by engaging in a new Marshall Pkan to help them modernize their economy. Instead, we didn’t help them at all and pushed NATO right up to their border (contrary to a signed agreement we had with them).

Hopefully, Trump can reverse this idiocy and finally bring Russia to to West - to our great mutual benefit.
