We need to have an open and honest debate over who is really our enemy and where they rank threat wise. Russia is not a major menace to us just because Kudlow, Bolton, and Nikki Haley believe it is. Russia is surely less dangerous than it was was under communism. Saudi money is being spread all over the USA in an effort to import Islam into this country. And why is Russia any more bullying than Turkey, which has also been throwing its weight around in the middle east? Or more oppressive than Venezuela? Or more politically meddlesome than Canada and the EU have been by their efforts to ally with global warming politicians in the USA? Or more maniacal than North Korea?

Exactly! We need to cooperate with Putin to combat Islamic extremism - the true enemy of civilization.
I don’t get that, either. What for do we need the Saudis? Things have changed since ‘71 and ‘73. And after what they pulled on 911, IMHO, there shouldn’t even still BE a “Saudi”. Things have changed. 50 years ago the world was desperate for there oil. Now the Saudis are desperate for there markets.
