We blow hot and cold with the Russians. We antagonize them on Monday and then stand aside and show weakness for the rest of the weak.

Eventually something very bad is going to happen and we have too many morons making decisions.

Hillary Clinton seems hell bent on confronting Putin instead of trying to find a compromise that stabilizes the situation in Syria and Iraq. There is no “moderate opposition” in Syria only ISIS, the “moderate” ISIS JV team we are arming, and the Russian/Iranian backed Assad.

I do not see how Syria can be stabilized at this point except under Assad. This is not a good outcome for us but the best that can be hoped for at this point, I’m afraid.

This makes no sense at all.

Is Hillary insane?

Why did she sell 15 or 20% of the U.S. domestic Uranium supply to Russia just a few years ago?

Wpin, what did you mean by "the tact? "Was the intended word "tack?"

Astute observations. I agree too, we should be trying to find some common ground and get Russia to cooperate in some way, rather than people like Hillary trying to antagonize them. That can only lead to trouble.

That’s where Trump has the right idea. Remember he went to Mexico to meet an adversary, and came back with what looks like an ally. He can probably do the same with Putin, especially since he has publicly stated an admiration for Putin’s abilities as a leader. Putin may be a ruthless dictator, but he is also a strong leader, and one we should never underestimate, same as Trump. Anyone who thinks Trump cannot establish a working relationship with Putin, beneficial to both countries, is badly mistaken, That’s what Trump has been doing for a living for 40 years.

Hillary trying to antagonize a major world power with long known nuclear capability is a very bad idea and she should have better sense. After all, she is the smartest woman in the world, doncha know?
