As secretary of state, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton tried to improve relations with the country, touting a “reset” – complete with a reset button for a photo-op – in 2009 with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

A foreign policy and defense hawk who was among 17 Repubilcan candidates for president past year, Graham said he might not agree with Obama on most issues, but suggesting he is weaker than Putin is a step too far. “I took it very seriously”. Others claim the measures helped deleverage Russia’s foreign debt and propelled import substitution efforts, while shielding the country from the immediate after-effects of Britain’s Brexit vote to leave the European Union in June.
“There’s a difference between dictatorship and leadership”, Kaine continued.
While we can’t say that we disagree with the spirit of Graham’s wish to move to our more cozy neighbor (I mean have you SEEN that hunk of a Prime Minister?), we know that Canada doesn’t deserve such cruel treatment.
“I think I would have a very, very good relationship with Putin and I think I would have a very, very good relationship with Russia”, Trump said Wednesday.
Later, Trump also said that Russian Federation could become a key US ally in “bombing the hell out of ISIS”, if he is elected president. “Nobody said it would be on Russian TV”.
“Klebnikov was the twelfth reporter to be killed in mafia-style assassinations in direct reprisals for their journalism in Russian Federation since President Putin came to power in 2000, and not one of the murderers has been brought to justice”, Pence and the other congressmen wrote. The GOP candidate was asked about how he would improve relations with Russian Federation during NBC’s Commander-In-Chief Forum on September 7, and he couldn’t help but gush about Vladimir Putin while dissing Barack Obama!
Weighing in on the recent North Korean nuclear test, Kaine outlined Clinton’s plan for ensuring the country would not use its nuclear arsenal against the USA, saying the Democratic nominee would use “vigorous” sanctions and the aid of other nations to prevent any such calamity.
“Every day that goes by this just becomes more and more of a reality television show”, Clinton said in response to a question after meeting with a panel of national security experts.
Trump said he would not be influenced by Putin’s praise of him as “brilliant” (Putindenied a report he used the phrase) on a policy level, but also indicated he would repay it in kind on a personal level. “That would be a disaster for the world”. “They seem to be going down a little bit”.
Trump also addressed the pulling out of US troops from Iraq in 2013.
“Her claim that no lives were lost in Libya was an insult to the memory of the four fearless Americans who died in Benghazi”, Miller said.
“We have a divided country”. “But I will also keep focused on the ultimate goal”.
The Kremlin hasn’t had anything to say about Trump’s latest praise-fest, and under the *hacking* circumstances, probably the less said the better at this point.

‘I think it’s very sad, when you look at Barack Obama, as an example, lands Air Force One in China, and they don’t want to put out stairs to get off the plane.
