I don't think we have had a President who was any good at foreign policy since Nixon. damookster Send a noteboard - 23/07/2018 06:00:55 PM

And that was the only positive from his horrible Administration. We seem to be stuck in the Reagan, "Evil Empire" frame of mind, despite the fact the Soviet Union collapsed.

A better relationship with Russia is something we should be actively seeking. One advantage to dealing with a country run by a strongman like Putin is you don't have to worry about him having to gain consensus. He could stop the cyber hacking attacks in a day if he wanted to do so.
