Hellery is probably nervous as to what Putin could tell Trump about the deals she made with Russia with the Uranium and taking ranchers land to mine for uranium in Oregon. Think if Trump and Putin became agreeable what Trump could learn. This could benefit them both.

And benefit the American People. There is so much we need to know that has put US in this perilous circumstance we're in. I've always loved the Russians. They suffered so much during WWII. And in efforts to recoup from the hardships and devastation they suffered during that war, without ever asking for a penny from the United States or anyone else, has put them at the top of my list for a really, really long time. I realize their form of government was different, and in order to maintain it, their leaders felt a strong hand was necessary, but these tactics were largely supported by the Russian People in order to survive. Their circumstances are such and so different that we can't truly appreciate how hard life has been most Russians, yet they have excellent educations, pride, culture and tremendous goodness.
They have always wanted to be our friends, at the end of the day, they always have been, and we need to formalize that friendship, make it public, and use it to better both our countries and through that, bring a greater peace to the world. We are the 2 largest nuclear powers, and we should be something other than that or at least more than that.Last edited by Judy; 08-06-2016 at 11:53 AM.

I was in Russia in January 1992, part of the first group of "tourists" after perestroika. I saw first hand what 50 years of communism looked like and it was not pretty. The party elites lived like royalty while the rest of the people just got by. The Russian people that I encountered were curious about the Amerikanskies, but they were friendly and welcoming. There is no reason that we should not have a better relationship with Russia. IMO
If you ever want to know what growing up in Russia under communism was like, read the book Mig Pilot, the story of Viktor Belenko.
MIG Pilot: The Final Escape of Lt. Belenko

To be a MIG pilot in Russia is to be as close to heaven as communism allows. Millions are spent on your training. Andnothing is too lavish for your living. Lt Viktor Belenko was a MIG-25 pilot - one of Russia's elite warriors and the supreme expression of the ideal communist man. Or so everyone believed.
Then on September 6, 1976, while on a routine training flight, Lt. Belenko veered off course - and embarked on an incredible escape, an unforgiveable betrayal of his nation, and a daring and torturous personal journey of hope and courage.
MIG PILOT is the thrilling true story of how Russia's greatest air military secret was stolen and delivered right into America's lap. But it's more - it's the fascinating life story of a peasant's son who grew up to possess every luxury and honor Russia can bestow. And who threw it all away for one desperate chance to possess a dream. The American Dream. (less)

What a wonderful opportunity that was for you, Newmexican. I remember when I was in school, I think it was grade school or junior high, our Superintendent was invited on a mission to Russia arranged through the Governor's Office and some other organization, maybe even the federal government. Don't remember the details. What I remember is his speech to us school kids at a full school assembly upon his return. He had taken chewing gum, Juicy Fruit, a lot of it, and handed it out wherever he went. They'd never had gum before. They lacked so much but were lovely, intelligent, well-educated, cultural and proud to be Russian it seemed to him. I admired them for that reason and hoped one day even as a child that our countries would be friends like we're supposed to be and should be.
