Those pushing Trump to disrespect Russia are the one's pushing us towards conflict.  Pushing sanctions will starve the Russian people---not hurt Putin. Why on earth would we want to hurt millions of innocent Russian people and give them reason to hate us over next to nothing ?  With the push of one button we could defeat Russia , but they could do the same. Trump is correct to try and work with them.  Most American's see Russia's involvement in our election as doing nothing more than exposing the truth about Hillary Clinton and her inner circle.  They did America a huge favor by helping American's see her for who she was and not making the mistake of electing someone so untrustworthy and dishonest.  So far Trump is turning out to be an even greater leader than many of his supporters thought he would be.
