I still think Russia needs to be put in its rightful place at least diplomatically. They do fund terrorism and Iran after all, so need to be held to account.

“I still think Russia needs to be put in its rightful place at least diplomatically. They do fund terrorism and Iran after all, so need to be held to account.”


I think that we can largely control that kind of behavior by acting in a responsible way toward Russia, and by reaching an accommodation with them. Draw a line, and each side stays on their own side. Very simple and very doable. We both benefit from the stability, rather than constantly trying to undermine each other.

THAT is what diplomacy is supposed to be about.

America funds terrorism and Iran also. What is it now? $13 Billion in Gold and cash? We trained the “moderates” in Egypt, Libya, and Syria.

I think it is time to go back to the days when our coin had “Mind your business” printed on them. Russia can be a great ally, just quit pretending we are a goody two shoes, and they are the evil empire already.
