text: Let's face it...Russia has no "long game." It's long game is subservience to the West and the neoliberals who are salivating over the country's vast resources.
  Dumb. This country is so badly run. I used to stick up for Russia. I can't anymore. I can't support idiots, just like I am off the Trump train and now I am off the Putin train. This guy is maybe a bigger idiot than Trump.
  Mike Trump probably called Putin and asked that they maintain the current deconfliction procedures and Putin did... so then Trump owed him one and killed the additional sanctions Haley was all excited talking about over the weekend... Trump changed his mind in the face of Putin's accommodations...
  "Prices of aluminum have fallen more than 12% since last week, when the Trump administration walked back sanctions against Russian giant Rusal Co."
  The whole "Russia!" thing is an Obama people LOSER policy from those leftist freaks Trump is trying to get out from under... he cant do it in a day...
  Wrong on multiple counts. Assad is still in power and Russia's weapons systems have been demonstrated for the bullies to see. Gold buying is a hedge for international dealings. Putin is a nationalist, not a globalist, and his interest is 1 - the survival of Russia (which means avoiding WWIII) and 2 - the improvement of Russia (which means developing Russia), both of which are in direct opposition to the globalist neocon cabal.
