I personally thought during the early 1990's we had a golden opportunity to befriend Russia forever. With our industry and their never ending resources it was a natural.
The scene was set, Gorbachev, Nuclear weapon reduction, a new wave of politics, all that was missing was western aid.
Instead the short sighted West cackled with glee at the demise of the once hated cold war nemesis, and did nothing.
Now, for better or worse, you have new nationalism and Putin to contend with. Clinton would have mired us in a mis-guided continuation of O'bamas policy of Soviet hatred.
Trump, hopefully will set another course. One that hopefully leads to an ease of political tensions and more cooperation on scientific and economic fronts.
This article sums up the "botch job" known as Obama foreign policy towards Russia.
