That's all I can think of it. Russia has never really been all that "friendly" nation with the US not even during WWII where they were an ally out of necessity due to the situation in Europe and Asia.
How interesting. Maybe I can not properly translated.
Explain one more time please someone who is friendly and not at the expense of the second world is not quite clear who is there with whom to ally.
I don't think anybody are saying Russia is an ally.
Having a working relationship with the Russians is not the same as "Oh, Russia is a great country." well, The country does not need to be glorified or demonized. It is just a super power we don't need to **** off right now (or never).
This country cannot afford a war with the Russians.
All these said, The US does not trust the Russians because of the legacy of the Cold War and competition over who controls flow of world energy revenues.
Because of this Russia persists in opposing US efforts in the Middle East to solve problems related to Syria and the Israeli/Palestinian situation so they can preserve a foothold in the region.
Both sides bear a lot of blame for the current tense relations between the two. It is everyone’s interests that this relationship be improved before it turns into direct conflict.
Plus, The world would be a safer place if American foreign policy would avoid the notion of democratizing everyone and just stick to the basics. One of these basics, would be to search for common ground and identical security issues that threaten our nation.
Hopefully, the new President will understand that a good working relationship with Russia is the key to global stability.
Why didn't Hillary/0bama supporters realize Russia is not an ally when she handed them a RESET button (with RESET spelled incorrectly, like the dujmbazz those fools are)?
WTF does this even mean? Why did the SoS and President engage in diplomacy to avoid going to war? Maybe to avoid going to war?
You guys can't keep your excuses and jumbled thinking straight. Which is it... Hillary is a coward who let Putin walk all over her or Hillary is a war hawk that would have gotten us into a war with Russia the first chance that she got?

Would you say that the Trump administration seems to be a little too cozy with a nation that is not an ally? Would you say the Trump administration is alienating long-term allies in attempt to appease a hostile nation with dubious motives?

Iran... a bad country, that supports terrorists, to include in Yemen...and the US lifts the sactions, and gives them money...and Iran continues to say that Israel should be wiped off the earth
Ukraine... the Nazi supporting Ukraine rules with an iron fist, yet the US will support them against the boogie-man of Russia
Crimea... votes to leave the Ukraine and fall under Russia (90% of Crimean's are Russian). yet the US bashes Russia , even though Crimea DEMOCRATICLY voted to leave Ukraine
the Hillary/DNC emails releases....a Bernie supporting DNC insider leaks the emails, and is mysteriously killed, yet the left lies and says its Russia hacking the election
Would you say that the Trump administration seems to be a little too cozy with a nation that is not an ally? Would you say the Trump administration is alienating long-term allies in attempt to appease a hostile nation with dubious motives?
First of all, I would like to know what I have posted that you disagree with.
I didn't mention Trump by the way.
To your first question, no, I don't think Trump administration seems to be a little too cozy with a nation that is not an ally.
To your second question, Yes, I do think Trump administration is alienating long-term allies, but I think the word ally is overrated.
Last but not the least, I don't have a loyalty towards Trump or his administration, if I feel he has dubious motives, then yes, I would support the belief that Trump should be gone.
Exactly. It's the same with Obama. One minute he is letting in all these refugees and then they turn around and say Trump's refugee ban was the same as Obama's. Which is it?

You need to realize that THIS Trump supporter (me) does not believe Russia is an ally at all.
Some you guys need a little balance, not everybody who believes in a working relationship with other super power = Russian spy LOL
I would even support a working relationship with the Chinese. China is not a threat either. Let the Chinese handling their own problems in South China sea. Nobody cares about the island people they "try to" invade.
