Just this week this came out that they're training Bosnian separatist militias. 

Do you know how many militias our government is arming and training at the moment? And do you know anything about that region? The separatists in Bosnia you're referring to are from the Serb Republic, a constituent legal entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Serb Republic is over 80% Serbian and Christian, in stark contrast to the rest of Bosnia, which is overwhelmingly Muslim. They want independence. It makes more sense for the Russians to arm their Slavic cousins within their sphere of influence than it does us arming Islamic radicals in third-world hellholes thousands of miles away.

Our military action over the past 17 years make Russians look like Saints.

We should treat everyone as trading partners, force Europe to defend themselves and work on common relationships with everyone

You'll go further selling iPhones than bombs.
