It seems to be the case that some US politicians want to re-focus their foreign policy and military posture more in the direction of opposing Russia...

During the election Obama mocked Romney's contention that a resurgent Russia was our primary geopolitical foe, intimating that Mittens was stuck in the 1980s.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Russia is dangerous to Europe, but I suspect China is more of an overall danger to US interests...

When The Donald wins he and Putin will divide the world between them and sign a non-aggression pact.

In which case history repeats.

Wait, what? I thought we already reset the relationship with Russia, and the smarter, more enlightened negotiation and diplomacy of the Obama Administration has made our friends like us more and our enemies open to conciliation? Wasn't this Russia thing solved years ago? I mean, Russia? They're not a threat. That's so 80s....

Russian television warns nuclear war imminent.... http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/721 ... r-al-Assad

Do they still have that reset button????

Hmm... Hillary resets in 2009....we like Russia 7 years ago -- we're fixing everything and the relationship is reset. In 2012, Obama laughs at Mitt Romeny -- oh, you silly goose - you're stuck in the 1980s -- they want their foregn policy back! Russia ain't no foreign policy threat! C'mon! Democrats and Left wingers laugh hysterically at the dopey notion that Russia constitutes a key foreign policy threat.

Now it's 2016, and the Clinton campaign throws up the specter of the threat of Russia all the time. They're hacking us everywhere! They're the big threat! They're meddling in our elections! They love Donald Trump1 He's in league with the Russians! Oh, me o my! Russia is feeding Wikileaks! Russia Russia Russia!

LOL....maybe somewhere between the reset button, the hysterical laughter at anyone suggesting Russia was a threat, and today, a good reason arose for the Obama Administration and Clinton as Sec of State to feed weapons to ISIS to use against Russia. That must have been the reset button they pushed....
