Paul Manafort and the Republican platform changes

[Bill4411]

Is anyone besides me disturbed by Manaforts connections to the deposed Ukrainian dictator, Viktor Yanukovyck and the changes he caused to be made to the Republican platform? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...adb3b0-4cf3-11e6-a7d8-13d06b37f256_story.html

Clearly though Putin will have the green light from Trump to take what ever else he wants of the Ukraine and probably whatever else he wants from the old Eastern bloc if Trump is the president.

soooo good when obama, bad when trump?
Of course, Trump is not the only politician to oppose sending lethal weapons to Ukraine. President Obama decided not to authorize it, despite recommendations to do so from his top Europe officials in the State Department and the military. The United States has provided Ukraine with non-lethal equipment and aid.

Eventually, when the Middle East spirals out of control for the final time, we will need Russia on our side and not have them against us. Fact is, they could be a strong ally in the war on terror but Obama (and Putin) have failed to engage with each other. While sure, Russia isn't the cleanest, feel good fuzziest of countries....but i'd rather have them on our side than not....and I think they feel the same way.
