Why the Berlin Wall? It could not be that Russia lost 20 million people in WW II and we lost only a little over 400,000? I would presume, that after the war many in Russia, considered all of Germany as the spoils of war.

As far as missiles; how many do we have targeting Russia right now? We are grownups; every country wants what they feel is their fair share. I am not saying that we have to trust them; but we do have to give them some credit for being 'qualified' competitors. The same goes for China.

China has hacked the US to gain economic advantage. Russia is manipulating the flow of information in this country for its geopolitical advantage.

The way the question is worded, we are choosing between “friend or enemy” or “something else.”

They can be not our friend or enemy at the same time. Terrible poll.

Russia is a bad neighbor who is not going to move away.
The game is to take advantage of each other and casually block moves detrimental to US and the world's interests.


Of course if you believe Obama, Putin is not our enemy.

Thread fail. As pointed out on the first page there is no way to vote yes or no with the wording of the question. The second question is why even ask? If you think for a second that Russia is our friend then you should have your ability to vote stripped from you.

They used to be enemy’s until Moron stole the election and now, he wants to move in with Putin. This bromance is one way. Wait until Putin pulls a fast one on Trump and catches Trump scratching his head. Every other President would use caution when dealing with Russia as we know they can’t be trusted. Much like Trump...

It is easier to make enemies, than it is to make friends, without having to buy them.
