Trump is a neocon?
Not sure but he wants everybody guessing.
Ask the Bushco thugs from Daddy to GW to Jebbie how neo con Trump is.
Ask Linda and her boy friend McAinal how neo con Trumps is.
Ask the DC GopE pundits like Billie Kristal Night how neo con Trump is.
Trump destroyed the NeoCons and liberal rats this past year.
You really need to get out of your 1980s era world view and learn how vastly different the world is now.
Putin’s Russia is not the Soviet Union with million of conscripted slave solider sitting in armored fighting vehicles waiting to rush the Fulda Gap and crush the free West.
At best Putin can be an irritant to the world body politics or we can find a way to make him an ally. He has neither the economic, nor military, strength to be a real threat to the West. He can, however, be a ginormous pain in the butt for us in the ME. It would be better to have him in the ME policy tent rather then outside throwing rocks at it. Right now the DC clown posse, on behalf of their Saudi paymasters, have pushed Putin out of the tent. That is idiotic.
We face the same problem now that we faced during WW2. We have an existential threat to our existence (Islamic Fascism) that is also the enemies of the Russians. The Russians are not our ivory pure clean as snow perfect allies but they are, potentially, our allies in this fight.
It is easy for you to pompously pronounce anathema on everyone else in the world for not being perfectly politically pure enough from the safety of your keyboard in your moms basement.
Too bad for you those short of childish fantasies of perfect moral purity are ridiculous absurdities in the real world of international politics and diplomacy.
