According to a leaked Pentagon memo, Russia is not on the list of Donald Trump's defense priorities.
The priorities, as they have been outlined by the incoming Trump administration, include defeating ISIS, eliminating budget caps, developing a new cyber strategy, and finding greater efficiencies.
The memo, obtained by Foreign Policy, does not include any mention of Russia, which has been identified by senior military officials in the Obama administration as the No. 1 threat to the United States.

So, “building a strong defense” has nothing to do with Russia?
Did you know that Putin and his people are CHRISTIANS? They PROMOTE THE CHURCH OF JESUS!! Fight with them not against them!!
Smells like fake news.
“The memo, obtained by Foreign Policy, does not include any mention of Russia, which has been identified by senior military officials in the Obama administration as the No. 1 threat to the United States.”
The Obama administration sees Global Warming as the number 1 threat to the United States.
The Russians are only a threat to the Democratic party.
Western Civilization seems to be the priority in that case.
It doesn’t include China, North Korea or latin american drug dealers either. This headline is silly
Yes Wendle. And Putin has another wordly fascination with the Black Madonna. Some still are living and buying the Obama crap about Putin being the bad guy when in facvt hes done more to protect the US then Obama. Ya know...kill ISIS in Syria.This is very good. Let trump lift the sanctions on a potential good ally.
But...but (mouth agape) I thought Trump and Putin were BFFs???
Russia is no longer a communist country and no longer an enemy, as they were when they were the Soviet Union.
Remember when Obama and Hillary were trying to improve our relationship with them with that infamous “reset button”?
Only an idiot would call Russia America’s “number one threat” as the neocon warmongers at Foreign Policy (Council on Foreign Relations mouthpiece) did this week in blasting Trump. China is 20 times the threat, and Islam 20 times that still. Russia has the potential to be a powerful ally in defeating Islam and re-ordering the energy pecking order, ending Saudi domination for good.
Unlike China and ISIS.
Putin promotes Putin. He’s as Christian as Pope Francis...which isn’t saying much
“The priorities, as they have been outlined by the incoming Trump administration, include defeating ISIS,”
In today’s world this is what makes sense.
Thanks. I agree. We need to triangulate with the evil Chinese. Two against one with nukes. BOW DOWN or die!! Russia is great!!
Sounds right. Russia is not a threat. It’s a third world country with an economy the size of Holland. China is a threat and Trump wants an alliance with Russia against China.
“According to a leaked Pentagon memo...”
That is the only part that bothers me.
I would want the leaker’s head on a platter. I would make an example out of the leaker by completely destroying the traitors life.
They may have the potential to help defeat Islamism but not until they stop supporting Iran.
That will change soon.
You may want to update your Russian outlook from the 1950s. This is 2017 coming up here.
Putin promotes Putin.
