Trump has the right idea to Move Forward with Russia. "We need to find a common ground". Like Obama who had to change the relationship or the USA's way of thinking  towards  Cuba. Saying it  was "Obsolete"and time to improve US Relations with Cuba. This is NO different than what POTUS Trump is doing. 
You know what gets me is,we have all the Politicians from both sides of the political spectrum,from (R)McCain to (D)Adam Schiff  claiming this is a bad move ?  Saying;"You can't do this or you can't do that" with Vladimir Putin and the Russian people". Really? The Key word here is "Can't"....or won't?
So? What's wrong with improving relations with Russia? Remember Trump is NOT a Politician,his thinking is different than mere politicians.
 Instead of the "All Talk And No Action" politicians way,which have done nothing to improve relations with the Russian people. Why not try something different ? As  Ronald Reagan did,taking this very same path.IMUA
