I’m not sure I agree with Trump on this. It would have to be contingent on resolving the situation in Ukraine. Is that not one of the reasons they got kicked out of it? It’s out of the news right now, but I think it’s still not resolved. I think Russia is still in that country. Let’s remember, they gave up their nukes at the end of the cold war in a promise that the west would protect them from Russia.
I think it would be good to get the Russians into talking mode as members of the G8. I don’t know if they’re interested, but I’m getting the feeling that maybe their love affair with Iran is over (especially now that Iran is no longer receiving big bucks from Obama, and probably expects Russia to make up the difference).
