“Our investigation found multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including the Russian-interference and obstruction investigations. The incidents were often carried out through one-on-one meetings in which the President sought to use his official power outside of usual channels. These actions ranged from efforts to remove the Special Counsel and to reverse the effect of the Attorney General's recusal; to the attempted use of official power to limit the scope of the investigation; to direct and indirect contacts with witnesses with the potential to influence their testimony. Viewing the acts collectively can help to illuminate their significance. For example, the President's direction to McGahn to have the Special Counsel removed was followed almost immediately by his direction to Lewandowski to tell the Attorney General to limit the scope of the Russia investigation to prospective election-interference only-a temporal connection that suggests that both acts were taken with a related purpose with respect to the investigation.”

you make these grand statements without any support. We did detente during th Cold War -why isn't it possible again
Moreover ANY improvement to being in a HOT PROXY WAR WITH RUSSIA has to be possible.
Why not attend peace talks??
Trump doesn't see it because no one is advising him because ALL OF DC is in full blown Russiaphobia

Obama was basically right about Russia.
Russia is weak, economically. Their military is a joke compared to China—and ours. Putin can’t realistically threaten Europe and they almost certainly won’t, unless Putin decides he wants to become a crazed dictator over night. And Russia is nearly zero threat to us.
So they might threaten Ukraine. Well, ok. Pakistan might threaten India. China threatens Hong Kong practically daily. Rocket Man was threatening his neighbors AND us not very long ago. You get the idea.
What is our *compelling* national interest with Ukraine and Russia?
Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017
