It really bothers me that it seems more and more like the Media is pushing the US towards a conflict with Russia. Between the number of hacking stories and the North Korea sanction story yesterday. I guess it could just be low hanging furit for clicks, but it seems to be getting worse.

Imagine a world where the US and Russia could be allies and use their immense talent and resources for the good of the world.

In the Context of today, the US produces approximately 17 times the GDP of Russia. The US could go a long way in building common ground with Russia thereby influencing them not to return to cold-war era policies before its too late. There is no doubt russia's economy will continue to grow, and the foriegn policy we set now could determine whether they grow into a friend or even greater foe.

Obama laughed (rightly) when Romney invoked Russia as the greatest threat to the US during the campaign.

The narrative has drastically changed in the lest year or so --the psy-ops, I think, has been vastly over-emphasized given that we, the west, do similar ops against Russia. Given, I think we are the better guys in many ways, but it's not like Russia is doing an order of magnitude worse.

If the US, Russia and China could align... the would would be a better place. No nonsense in the ME, or NK, Iran and any other "wedge" region.
