Quote du jour

Trump was tough on Russia. He:
1) Bombed Syria, Russia's main client, and unleashed the U.S. military in Syria, including against Russians 
2) Armed Ukraine 
3) Ended the Iran nuclear deal 
4) Browbeat NATO allies to increase defense spending 
5) Approved $130 billion in new defense spending 
6) Added low-yield nuclear weapons to the U.S. arsenal 
7) Started research and development on a new missile after Russia deployed a missile that did not comply with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty 
8) Shut down Russia's consulate in San Francisco and 
9) Pumped more U.S. oil and gas, making the U.S. more energy independent. And on top of that, Trump kept earlier sanctions on Russia and added new ones himself.
