But she would because you rise to the occasion of the moment. She would do a better job in talks with Putin that Obama or any Bush (papa Bush would know how to handle Putin though).

The context in which you talk to Russia could be a bad idea. That is not to say that you should never talk to Russia. Selectivity of discussion is a powerful diplomatic tool. Either way, I wouldn't read too much into a vague statement like that and then attach an absolutism to it.

Putin must be coming to capitalize on the "space" Obama promised him on missile defense due to the "flexibility" he would have after he no longer has to answer to voters.
Have you even listened to what she said? She said "I would not HAVE talked to Putin . . " Specifying an exact instance (the context of this would be important here) in which she would not have talked to him. She does not say that she would never speak to him. She goes on to say that she would build a position of power (through a stronger military) that will give our nation the ability to talk/bargain from a position of strength. This is basic wisdom when dealing with Russia (and the older USSR). Next.
