Was it so bad that Reagan was friendly with Gorbachev? That turned out pretty good. Calling them out like Hillary and Obama did, wasnt effective at all.
I applaud Trump for his approach with Russia. Peace through strength, and always talking with the enemy to find ways that both can survive.
Is Russia a kleptocracy? Unquestionably, but thanks to Wikileaks, we're quickly discovering our government power elite are at least as corrupt.
Hillary's attempt to recreate the Cold War would be a disaster, possibly leading to a dangerous potentially nuclear conflict.
There are always two sides to every story, and we seem to have a talent for feeding Russian paranoia. The one Mediterranean port available to the Russian navy is Latakia, Syria, so our constantly trying to engineer the overthrow of Bashar Assad hasn't set well with the Russians either.
There's far more involved in the Ukraine situation and it isn't as simple as a Putin land grab, IMHO.
(aka USSA, United Socialist States of America) to secede. (Last time a secession here happened, the North hammered the South.)
Then we can see what would happen, if for instance, California invaded New Mexico.
..or if liberal Coastal CA invaded N.CA united with Northern NV, UT, WY, ND, SD, and Idaho.
If Putin and Trump can talk, whats wrong with that? Reagan and Gorbachev talked and that worked out. All the while Reagan was building up our military, which is what Trump would do too.

"Putin, whose English is rudimentary at best, kept his remarks brief, but echoed Melania Trump's recent call for an end to bullying."
History shows that all authoritarians instantly notice each other and have instant respect for each other (like the bromance between Putin and Emperor Trump...). Why? Because they value unbridled, unprincipled "Strength" as if it is a virtue. That's why they constantly talk about "strong" leaders, "strong" policy responses, etc... It matches their bullying nature and desire to dominate and control other people.
I enjoyed this satire, because it pokes fun at authoritarians like King Trump who are a danger to all people who truly value natural individual freedom...
If you are going to have a country at all, it needs borders and strength to keep from being over-run. Just look at history to see that.
Just take her no-fly zones in syria. We demand no russian planes fly there, they ignore her demand, and we are forced to shoot one down. NOW ww3 could easily erupt from that.
Imagine if Hillary would have been president during the 'cuban missile crisis"- she would have waited until the missiles were actually operational while she was "talking", and then she would have had a war on her hands.
Such a Stupid woman should never be president
"Get news satire from The Borowitz Report delivered to your inbox."
This is the ultra-liberal New Yorker's lame attempt at satire. Instead of covering Hitlery's real traitorous acts, they instead publish lies about Trump and Putin.
The New Yorker does know how to manipulate their idiot readers.
It reminds me of when I hear liberals falsely quoting Sarah Palin when they say "I can see Russia from my house!", which was actually said by Tina Fey on SNL mocking Palin.

If you8 look at the URL, "humor" is only found in the URL, never on the web page except at the very bottom as a collection of links.
Well, I fell in the cess pool hook, line and sinker, although I failed to see any real satire or humor in it, more of an attempt to take Clintons stories and push them to the level of truth.
Thank you, sir, for correcting me. +10!
The voice in my head was screaming:...this has got to be bull...I would of seen this!
