Big difference what policies were put in place to aide Putin as a result of this? The GOP shot down measure to fund the Urkrain against putin....that is significant policy there....Clintons??????
Since the news about the uranium deal were tied to Clinton, most news articles include their name with the deal. The President is briefed every morning and on major international deals he is got to be briefed on.
Russia, Ukraine and Poland go back several centuries with their disputes. Let them sort it out. They always did. We have nothing to do with it especially not pumping money into the affair. Our country is in shambles, our priorities should address domestic issues first.
EXACTLY!!!!!!! And that's what Russians think about it:
For the first time we have a clear and ideologically completed alternative to the policy of the last decades , which even Americans consider to be a failure .
Trump’s ideology is a departure from the destructive globalization of recent years in favor of a healthy American isolationism.
Like any normal American isolationist , Trump calls for strengthening America. Its military domination has to be the undisputed.
His vision is based on the fact that America needs to pursue its own interests and not impose its values . This is the only way to negotiate . And the constant Trump’s refrain that he would negotiate with Putin is a part of that vision. Generally what Trump says about Putin and Russia sounds like a red rag for any globalist in America or anywhere else.
Carter Page, the man whom Trump called his adviser on Russia. Opponents depict him marginalized only because he blames Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and her people for provoking the coup in Kiev with the aim of seizing power of pro-American radicals. As far as Page’s professional experience goes, an investment banker Page has got three higher educations: the Naval Academy with honors , University of New York and London , a doctoral degree . Page has created from scratch Moscow branch Meryl Lynch , his company advises investors in energy projects in Russia and Asia . Compare to “the main specialist on Russia and Ukraine” in the current administration Victoria Nuland has a bachelor's degree at Brown University , an experience of being a counsel in the pioneer camp in Odessa , an interpreter for the fishing fleet and the distributor of cookies on the Maidan square in Kiev.
No matter what you think about Trump one has to admit : his brief declaration of foreign policy is the only intelligible coherent and adequate one to the reality of American doctrine in the last 30 years. And even such an academic guru as Paul Gregory of the Hoover Institution admits that (in contrast to the political demagogues).
“Watching the overall media backlash , I’ve done my own small
research among my conservative colleagues (none of them are Trump’s supporters) about what they think of Trump's speech on foreign policy . The general reaction was unanimous .
Except for very harsh words about international trade , they almost all agree, "- said Paul Gregory .
Trump formulated the American anti-globalization and patriotic alternative. An alternative to the forces and interests that have been activated by Ukrainian coup, which goal was to create a self-reproducing mechanism of the Cold War.
Trump’s attempt to stifle this mechanism promises not to be good for Trump. However, the failure of this attempt does not promise anything good for America.
