If all of this turns out that contact was made with Russian ambassadors, what then?

What is the big deal? What is everyone afraid of?

They are afraid they will find out what Hillary and Bill have been up to. They have to make Russia to be untrustworthy. This way they get the cover and get Trump at the same time.

Well this board loved Putin, "if we only had a strong leader like him."

Sessions should resign

Are we already at the Bargaining stage?

Well there shouldn't be a problem with the Russian people, minus their illogical choices of governance over the last century.

But Putin, we should view him as the corrupt leader that he is. We have to accept that we can't go much about that, but know that he's no friend, even if we can mutually benefit from some things.

I see it as a lot like Iran. Corrupt leaders, but we have to deal with them the best we can, keeping their corruption in mind.

Putin is evil. Other than that, nothing.

Russia is now and has always been quite paranoid, ESPECIALLY when they don't have a large buffer zone of friendly allies between Russia and the West.

Look at what has happened to Russia's traditional "buffer zone" since the year 1990! It's gone! Not only is it gone, but, NATO is right in their "kitchen" with new members right on Russia's border.

And don't even mention Crimea or Ukraine, both areas that were under Russian rule for almost all of the 20th century. Ukraine is practically a hostile enemy now when before it was the breadbasket of Russia and provided the Soviet Union and Russia with much military personnel.

This is why Putin is acting up. Putin is acting up in bad ways: he takes over Crimea, he invades Ukraine with his special forces. Do you know why Putin sends planes to "buzz" US naval vessels? Because those US vessels are in the Black Sea! Any hostile naval vessel in the Black Sea is like a knife right at the Russian underbelly.

So the real fear of Russia is that Russia's paranoia will cause them to use greater force in that region.

Russia has no "buffer zone" any more. US foreign policy will take that into account, IMHO.

They had to have stolen the election. No other reason a real "people's candidate" like Hillary could lose to a populist.

How about let's worry about the good ole USA. Creating jobs and improving the economy?

Let's not give a rats arse about fabricated stories about Russia or whoever.

How about we improve our VA healthcare and resources for our veterans and put them first and foremost against any refugee or immigrant?

Putin has named Soros as the enemy of nations that he is.

Soros has declared a subversive war against Putin and Russia.

Those agitating for war with Russia are just doing Soros' bidding. It's true.
