I can actually get behind disrutping the Russian pipeline if that's the case.
It is easier to get me motivated and patriotic about war when the coastal elites aren't trying to convince me that I should care if some jerks in New York feel safe from subway terrorist bomb.
Our interventionist plan in Syria has more to do with concerns over Russia than it does about ISIS or terrorist threats. A lot of Brit and American sources predicted this would happen sometime this year.

Probably a good observation in light of the happenings in the Ukraine which are a real stain on US foreign policy.
We should drop sanctions on the Russians, they are Europeans, and normalize trade relations so we can have a relationship with them for the long term. It will help as a bulwark to a rising China and India. Antagonizing them is a stupid strategy and so is sanctioning our trade with Russia.
