This is something best handled behind closed doors, or else in the shadows.

A lot of Russians died in Afghanistan, with weapons and training provided by us. And several hundred Russian mercenaries died in Syria directly at our hand.

No apologies, but this isn’t beanbag. Trump hoped to develop a better relationship with Russia, but in the meantime he has to deal with things as they come.

As an aside, though, our alphabet agencies lied about “Russian Collusion”, and in so doing did a lot of damage to Trump’s foreign policy, besides paralyzing his presidency. He has little reason to believe them, and no reason to believe the press about anything. He should wait for confirmation from his military intel.

A lot of Americans (100K) died in Korea and Vietnam, with weapons and training provided by the Russians. The Russians lost 13K men in Afghanistan. Even with the Russian mercs killed in Syria, we’re almost 90K short of what the Russians inflicted on us. The Russians have a lot of payback coming.
