Russian state TV, which is closely aligned with the Kremlin, reports Moscow favors Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election “as the best candidate by a mile,” according to Reuters.

“RT, the Kremlin’s English-language TV channel formerly known as Russia Today, says it does not back any U.S. candidates. But it has described Trump as “idiosyncratic and raw,” and suggested he represents the popular will of U.S. voters, which a sinister U.S. establishment is trying to subvert,” Reuters reports.

“Can America’s elections be truly called democratic if the political establishment aligns itself against the popular will?” the American host of “CrossTalk” on RT Peter Lavelle stated. “As things stand now millions of voters could be disenfranchised.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin has also said Trump is “very talented.”

According to the Reuters report, a Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Trump’s recent comments that were critical of NATO funding, “showed the alliance was in crisis.”

“For the last two years all we heard from Western newspapers and TV was very critical of Russia,” U.S.-Russian relations expert Victoria Zhuravleva stated during an interview with Reuters. “So when you hear something that is not so critical and even more friendly towards your country it’s like: ‘Thank God, There’s one person we can talk to: Donald Trump.’”

“They are both open-minded, pragmatic, and say what they think,” she added about the similarity between Trump and Putin.

“We really don’t want Hillary,” a Russian official confided. “She’s no friend of Russia’s.”

Oh wow, I am so excited about the future with Donald Trump as our President. We definitely need to become friends with Russia. The Russian people are amazing, we can learn from them and they from us, on matters outside of politics. They have antibiotics that cost like $1 that kill these SuperBugs that in the US are fatal. In Russia they just rub the cream on and it kills the infection in a few days.

We need to figure out how to get along with them. Even Barry Goldwater said so.
Negatives: Organized crime, cyber hackers, alcoholism, obesity
Positives: A European door to the enigmatic East, Long religious tradition, smart scientists, resourcefulness, hospitable people

It is much less costly to have good relations with other nations. IMO, even the Afghanistan invasion in the 1980's may have had some good intentions. The left wing in Arabian countries favors womens rights and modernization---extreme Islamists oppose this. We got stuck between these two movements with Reagan's arming of the mujahideen, and now the weapons the US supplied were turned against us. The Khurdistanis----who are fighting the Islamic extremist ISIS---is also a leftwing movement. Unfortunately they have a violent confrontation going on with the Turkish government, with terrorist tactics. But how much of the background do we really understand? The PKK at least is able to raise people committed to stopping ISIS----better to be aligned with them than the opposite extreme.

I agree Captainron!
