If it’s in our worst interests, obama will see that it happens.
We just saw what Norks could do with a laptop and a cheap hotel room against a major media outlet. They crumbled like so much rotten wood under the weight of Rosie odonnel at a cheeseburger buffet.
Now imagine what a vengeful, economically obliterated Russia could do with what amounts to a highly trained army of professional state sponsored hackers...
We had an opportunity at one time to reach out to Russia as brothers and partners. Sadly, that ship has sailed. I hope it can be salvaged one day though. Probably not before the wounded bear lashes out.
There's an assumption they ever wanted to be partners in the first place. When Nixon visited China, the hope was they would eventually become a partner, as well. The following decades have clearly demonstrated neither nation has any real desire to do so. Prosperous or decimated, they're not our friends.
Thank you!
I do believe that Russia will likely ally with China and we could have had a real partnership with Russia at some point.
Why not cultivate Russia as an ally?
