One of the reasons for the current governmental push for energy production is war by other means against the Russians. We need to keep the prices low.
By ending this, Drumpf would be scratching his buddy Putin's back.
And why shouldn't we scratch Putin's back?
He's scratching our back in Syria - and Israel's back, too (last November, Russian, Syrian, and Israeli military experts held a three-way pow-wow at an undisclosed location), and also in Crimea (the Crimean Tatars were one of al Qaeda's best customers) and that region generally (the Ukrainian neo-fascists have long had an entente cordiale with Hamas).
All we have to do is keep both Russia and China at least neutral in the New Cold War against radical Islam, and we've got this, so to speak.
Putin is attacking us behind our back n Syria; bombing our allies, taking advantage of our reluctance to push his status there and in the world. Meeting and strategizing with the worst dictator in the world? Not good. Very bad. He usurped control in Crimea in a totally illegitimate way. He needs to be stood up to, not scratched.
