The Trump campaign worked behind the scenes last week to make sure the new Republican platform won’t call for giving weapons to Ukraine to fight Russian and rebel forces, contradicting the view of almost all Republican foreign policy leaders in Washington.

I’m not sure I see Russia’s moves in the same light you do. The issue with Ukraine is because they don’t want NATO in control of the sea access, they hate ISIS and Turkey should be out of NATO. But there is a strong chance I’m wrong as well.
Russia is not going to invade Europe, is not flooding Europe with refugees and is not supporting ISIS.
If we were smart we would find ways to work with Russia. We have more in common than what separates us.
General McCain will be deeply disappointed.
Hillary and Obama have been supporting Ukraine in this war. Not very expertly but nevertheless supporting them. They really mishandled this at the beginning. Not surprising since everything they touch turns to crap.
I think you are mstaken. Hillary and Zero have been antagonizing Russia, supporting Ukraine.
Russia is not going to invade Europe, is not flooding Europe with refugees and is not supporting ISIS.
If we were smart we would find ways to work with Russia. We have more in common than what separates us.
Enough with foreign entanglements. Build the wall, both on the border and in our visa system.
Hillar yand the NWO want war with Russia because of the fact that Russia wants to dedollarize the world and it is beginning the work. The bankers are behind this..the world bankers and the federal reserve are the ones behind thhe banging of the war drums with Russia.
The fed is scared they wont be able to export inflation and corrution around the world anymore
I don’t like abandoning Ukraine but I think in the very near future we’re going to need Putin for destroying Islam wherever we can.
Well stated!
The only reason Obama/Hillary proposed a “reset” is that it was necessary, due to their own policies that were needlessly adversarial.
For example, Obama chose the wrong side in Syria, Egypt, Libya, and Iran.
We should have been on the same side as Russia on these issues.
Putin isn’t our problem; defeating ISIS is.
This makes no sense. Putin is a Communist thug intent on expanding his sphere of control while the weakling west pursues the welfare state and PC nirvana. This is stupid policy. Let’s hope Trump doesn’t really admire Putie.
Seeing this is from the WAPO I would imagine there is truth mixed with fiction in this story.
Putin seems to be the only leader that’s stood up to the banking cartel. Since they’re at the top of the enemy pyramid I’d side with him when necessary.
But Biden’s boy’s babies need shoes!
For decades, D.C. foreign policies have been dangerous, reckless and weakened our country in every direction.
Not to mention looted the American treasure with 10 year long "Compassionate wars", wide open borders where people from foreign countries illegally invaded our country by the tens of millions and foreign trade polices only our enemies love, et al.
No more loser leadership.
I am finding that, as it has been from day one with Obama, I am now on the opposite side of just about everything the GOP is for and against. IMO, the GOPe is in bed with the DNC - ie. the GOPe is the “right” wing of the DNC and the Left.
Rubbish.
Putin is the only leader in the world offering any leadership in the war against ISIS. He’s a patriot and when he pushes boundaries its only due to the feebleness of the current administration
I never thought I would see the day when a Russian leader was a greater defender of Christiandom than our own President. Sadly that’s exactly what we have got now.
Which arms could we send to Ukraine which will defeat a Russian takeover? The answer to that question should exactly match what the campaign did. Proxy wars just make new enemies.
