I want good relations with the Russians, acknowledging the fact that Russia will always be a “rogue” state to a degree, it’s a matter of figuring out what Russia really wants (and no it isn’t complete world domination).

But the fools at Foggy Bottom still subscribe to the “Cold War Playbook” when it comes to Russia.

I couldn't agree with you more.
