Isn’t that the truth. Some of our folks hear KGB, and automatically go into defense mode. I can understand it. I think we need to move beyond that a bit. We need Russia, and it needs us. Don’t go blindly to be sure, but there’s a storm a brewing, and we need Russian in our camp.

There was a time when we played China off against Russia.

I think it’s time to return the favor.

"There was a time when we played China off against Russia."

I'm not so sure either China or Russia will fall for that one again. Pretty sure those two countries are planning to tag-team us this time around.

I think we blew it in the 1990's to engage Russia and we are paying for it. We could use Russia (and India) to face off against the Red Chinese.

People CAN change.

I have a hard time in the “trust” department, but hey.. who the hell knows, right?
