No, yes, no.
Ignoring the Russia threat and giving them breathing room to build up for future oppression is NOT in out interests.
Defeating islamists is.
Ignoring non-ME islamists could be lethal. Pakistan has The Bomb, Indonesia has no shortage of suicide bombers. Are they less dangerous than Saudi?
I suppose one could argue that.
Problem is, we’re not ignoring Russia, we’re getting in their face with the same intensity we did during the cold war when Republicans were in control .
But today, Russia is a different country and has gone through an overhaul that we should have taken advantage of. We are blowing it.
