Today's meeting was extremely important and brought exceptional results,. . . The talks have shown that the long-term national and geopolitical interests of Russia and India coincide.
There's certain things that we do work with Russia on and then there's certain things when they do something wrong, I have no problem calling them out on it.
I think it would be great if we got along with Russia because we could fight ISIS together, as an example.
The U. S. along with China, Japan, South Korea and Russia has an important role to play in containing North Korea's nuclear ambitions and exerting all the influence we can possibly exert.
You can talk all you want about Russia, which is all a, you know, fake news fabricated deal to try to make up for the loss of the Democrats and the press plays right into it. In fact, I saw a couple of the people that were supposedly involved with this but they know nothing about it. They never made a phone call to Russia, they never received a phone call, it's all fake news. It's all fake news.
Nixon urged Clinton to maintain his relationship with Yeltsin but make contact with other democrats in Russia. He warned Clinton away from some ultranationalists and toward those interested in liberty and reform. He pressed Clinton to replace his ambassador in Kiev and concentrate future U. S. economic aid on Ukraine, where it would matter most.
Having lived in a collapsed empire before - I lived in Russia right after the Soviet Union collapsed - you can see a lot of the classic signs of an empire that's on its way out.
Take a moment to imagine a world led by China or Russia. So we must lead.
We have agreements with many countries including Iran, including Russia, including other countries that are about different things including armament. It's cooperation like any cooperation between any two countries, which is normal. It's not related to the crisis.
Given the current state of our finances, we could sure use a quarter of a trillion dollars a year recycling through the U. S. economy rather than through the economies of Iran, Russia, and Venezuela.
With respect to Russia, my principal approach to Russia has been constant since I first came into office. Russia is an important country. It is a military superpower. It has influence in the region and it has influence around the world.
Russia is a mafia state today, and Putin is its top godfather.
All in all, I think Kazan is Russia's sportiest city after Moscow, leaving all the others far behind.
Syria is no longer Syria. Syria is Russia and it's Iran, who Hillary Clinton made strong and Kerry and Obama made into a very powerful nation and a very rich nation, very, very quickly, very, very quickly.
If it hadn't been for the Cold War, neither Russia nor America would have been sending people into space.
I believe it is no secret that I like Japan very much - Japanese culture, sport, including judo, but it will not offend anyone if I say that I like Russia even more.
But the truth is that it is only by believing in God that we can ever criticize the government. Once abolish the God, and the government becomes the God. That fact is written all across human history; but it is written most plainly across the recent history of Russia; which was created by Lenin. There the government is the God, and all the more the God, because it proclaims aloud in accents of thunder. . . one essential commandment, Thou shalt have no other gods but Me.
The nationalist right have common views. They hate the EU, they hate NATO, they dislike trade, they admire Russia. Many of them are funded by Putin.
Russia comes from a place of deep resentment against the West, in general, and the United States in particular. They are rapacious, because they want back as much of their empire as they can grab. And we need to resist that. At the same time, we should be able to look for areas of common interest.
For us in Russia, communism is a dead dog, while, for many people in the West, it is still a living lion.
