Absolutely, we need to show the same respect for Russia's legitimate security concerns that we demand from Russia for our own security concerns and that is what Trump is proposing to do.It was Clinton who allowed 12 former Soviet states to join NATO, breaking Bush41's promise to Gorbachev that led to their liberation. Bush43 also blundered. Now we need Trump to repair the damage that was done by the Clintons in order to avoid continued conflict with Russia that will prevent any solution to the problems of he ME or eastern Europe.Sorry, the resurgence of friction between the two nations has been a bi-partisan problem.
GHWBush was a fool to allow NATO expansion.
Clinton was asleep at the wheel for 8 years.
GWBush should NOT have sent US forces to the BLack Sea, or been so confrontational with Russia.
mmm, did that much of nato expansion take place under Clinton? In that case he does deserve a fair share of the blame.
REgardless, we need to back off now.
It would be excellent, but now, as I see, much of Americans have poor vision, what Obama\Clinton administration really doing in world.
If I could play on US size... US has excellent traditions of "soft power", which excellently made US "number one" in world. No one has anything against US position in soft play here.
But according to her local politic and money interests, Clinton wants to change game to hot war - where US have fifty-fifty chances... Such a giveaway chess... Does the US, having now a lot of internal problems, really need a risk at world politics chessboard?
You are giving Hillary and the dems to much credit.
THey believe that Russia, since it was defeated in the Cold War is a weak defeated nation that they can push around for the purposes of internal politics without any of their bluffs ever being called.
They don't want a war, but they are doing their best to bumble their way into one.
And to be fair, many of the Republican Leadership that oppose(d) Trump are only slightly better. Which is one of the reasons that I have supported Trump and I HOPE one of the reasons the Republican voters as a whole have supported him.
They already started proxy-war against Russia in Sirya and Ukraine. But bluffing so much, they able to regard Russian nuclear shield as bluff and try to strike Russia with nuclear missiles...
