Donald Trump's strategic approach to confronting Russia under President Vladimir Putin is more complex and nuanced than the Republican nominee's campaign trail rhetoric often indicates, his new senior adviser, former CIA Director James Woolsey, said Tuesday.
"I think what Mr. Trump does is much more important than what he says," Woolsey said. "You don't succeed at something like this based just on language. Language is a tool. I don't think it is an absolute."

Thank you for your answers. Hillary and the neo-cons are insane to think about war with Russia.
When I said motivations and intentions are hard to keep straight, I was thinking of the lunatics in Washington, DC.
Language s just a tool, but it is a pretty good tool.
“Russia’s plan for dealing with the USA simple: Wait for us to collapse. They don’t need to do anything as we’ve been set on a path of destruction by mad leftists.”
I think you have that bass ackwards. The way Russia is tanking financially (thanks to continuing oil prices that are below what they need to survive), and although our financial house is also in disarray, it’s not at the brink yet like Russia’s is. President Trump’s analog to “tear down this wall Mr. Gorbachev,” is “Drill Baby Drill!” And in so doing, we eff the Entire ME ( most especially the Saudis) and Africa and Venezuela as well.
So what happens if they run out of money? They cut their budgets, tighten their belts and continue on. Oil wealth is generally a curse because it discourages native industry something that Russia's working very hard to fix by regrowing their industries. Their debt load is almost nothing.
>although our financial house is also in disarray, it’s not at the brink yet like Russia’s is.
Have you checked out debt load? Do you really think we could eliminate EBT payments without mass riots and war in the streets? We're in bad shape.
>President Trump’s analog to “tear down this wall Mr. Gorbachev,” is “Drill Baby Drill!” And in so doing, we eff the Entire ME ( most especially the Saudis) and Africa and Venezuela as well.
I have high hopes that Trump will put us on much better footing and allow the US to continue. However, if he loses, I expect collapse and civil war by 2030.
Trump knows the demographic future of Europe: It will be dominated by Islam in 30 years — NO MATTER WHAT WE DO!
Merkel just advanced that timeline by several years by inviting 1,000,0000 mostly young semen-filled sexist/racist Islamicists into the EU.
Trump understands that in the long run it’s futile for us to spend another red cent defending Europe from its own demise. Withdraw ALL of our military from Europe NOW!
Instead, perhaps Trump is thinking we should let Putin have the EU and let him deal with the Islamic problem. He’s good at it! He’s the only hope for Europe to have a semblance of Western Civilization in 30+ years from now.
The PC Euros are impotent to do anything about the horrible future they face.
Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."
The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.
"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

Meanwhile, it was the Soros-supported Obama administration has done more to help build Russia’s strength than anyone. Obama went out of his way to appease the KGB/FSB thug on such critically important things as missile defense and nukes. Now, apparently, that Putin has gotten what he wanted from the willing saboteur-in-chief he’s basically told him to get lost and get out of the way. BO must be crushed by the rejection, after all that he’s done for him.
Spot on!
That, and Russia doubtless has a LOT of blackmail material on Obama.
Rashputin ~ Hillary figures we'd do a lot better in a nuclear one.
She's graduated from throwing ashtrays and lamps and wants to try her hand at nuclear warheads.
Nor does NOW have word one to say about "honor" killings.
Why is that do you suppose?
Trump is not an entrenched criminal mastermind, unlike his opponent, who has been supported by the most vile elements of the world's elite for her entire career.
In answer to your question: Hillary’s plans for Russia are simple........
....to do whatever her Bilderberg/Davos handlers want at every turn, which would include letting NATO draw the US into a pre-preemptive war....(very stupid, since the United States will clearly lose)
