Former CIA Director Leon Panetta, who served as Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, said Trump needs to recognize that Russia is “an adversary, not a friend.”

I wish someone would ask Panetta why the U.S. has been jointly working with this "adversary" to build, staff and operate the International Space Station for years.

In fact, most of the manned missions to the ISS scheduled for this year are going to have NASA astronauts flying to space under Russian commanders.

Because Republicans are in power. Did LEON say anything when the hot mic picked up Obama saying, “tell Vlad I’ll have more flexibility after the election”?
I don’t think Russia’s our friend, but I don’t think we need to go to war with them. If they were our friend, they probably wouldn’t be sailing so close to us with spy ships. But then, to quote Kay, in MIB, “There’s always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT!”
Of course, if I thought like a democrat (shudder), I’d say Russia’s doing that sort of thing just to make it look like Trump and Putin aren’t in cahoots.
