What's Wrong With 'getting Along' With Russia?
Yesterday Donald Trump said at a press conference, “Putin probably assumes that he can't make a deal with me anymore because politically it's unpopular for a politician to make a deal
that’s a shame because if we could get along with Russia – and by the way, China and Japan and everyone…” Trump told reporters. “If Russia and the United States actually got together and got along — and don’t forget, we’re a very powerful nuclear country and so are they... If we have a good relationship with Russia, believe me, that’s a good thing, not a bad thing”.

What President Trump fails to grasp - and shows no sign of grasping any time soon - is that international politics is as complex and difficult as he likes to think it is simple and easy.
If politics was as simple as picking up the phone and saying 'Let's be friends shall we ...' then every world leader ever would have done it.
The fact they they have not indicates that it is simply not that simple - and the sooner President Trump grasps that just because he would like it to be does not make it so, the sooner he will be on the way to grasping some of the complexities of his office and responsibilities.
The man's naivety is simply breath-taking.

The corrupt swamp-dwellers in Washington have a vested interest in hostile relations with Russia(amongst others) Hence their support for the bellicose Killary.
Trust me, shortly there will be prosecutions/Senate enquiries that will open your eyes to the corruption. You'll also come to realise why this anti-Trump hysteria has been whipped up and what useful fools you have all been.

There's nothing wrong with getting along with another country as long as it doesn't compromise your stance on things. The problem is that Putin has done a number of things since gaining power that makes it difficult to show tacit support for. Arguably it would be better to left someone else takes over governing Russia before offering the hand of cooperation. Otherwise Gawd only knows what situation one will find one's trapped oneself in.
Trump is a communist spy.
What further evidence is needed.
The Russians manipulated the election, and now it is payback time.
America will ascede to Russia in Syria, the middle east, far east and Europe.
Which is fortunate because he will need all the troops he can muster at home for the Civil War II.

International politics is complex only because there is a whole empire of political types who have a vested interest in it being that way. If we all got along a lot of highly paid people would be out of a job.
Drain the swamp Mr Trump, the liberal elite are squealing like pigs taken away from the trough so yuo must be doing things right.

Tillerson's big plus is probably the fact that he knows well how Russia 'does business'
James Mathis has been outspoken in highlighting Russian interference in various elections.
So let us by all means 'get along' with Russia.
Depends what one means by it tho.
Rumour has it the Russian press is about to turn on Trump. Which actually might do him, and the rest of us, a huge favour.

Khandro, I'm saying Putin has already reconquered a chunk of previously independent Ukraine, which I regard as a bad thing. I also believe he wouldn't mind getting the Baltic states back again (Balts seem to agree). Nor do I think he'd mind regaining resource-rich Alaska, which a previous regime sold to the USA at 2 cents an acre; but I imagine Trump would prefer to strip the resources first himself.
