Russia is not the enemy

Russia probably promoted their desire to annex Crimea, but they got 80% of the vote and Trump recognizes this vote as valid.  Russia is helping Syria stabilize to maintain its oil and gas exports. 

We trade with Russia.  In 2015 we exported $7.1 billion and imported $16.4 billion.  So far in 2016, as of October, we exported $ 5 billion and imported $ 11.7 billion.

Russia needs to expand its private economy and the US is about to enter the energy export business to compete with Russia.  Russia is the largest Christian nation on the planet and has a lot of potential. 

We maintain NATO to offer a balance for Europe to ensure that Russia doesn’t attempt to annex sovereign countries that share a border with them.  Russia maintains an effective military, because they have been invaded for centuries.

Trump could help Russia develop their private economy, but they will need to resist expansion in order to get this help.

The enemy is Muslim Terrorists. We need to end the refugee invasion and resettle Muslims back to Muslim countries.  We need to cut off aid to all terrorist groups from Iran and other Arab countries to really end the war on terror.
