Trump on the Hamburg summit: startling realism on Putin and Russia
In the latest Crosstalk in which I appeared with Peter Lavelle I made the point at the very end that much of the US’s anger towards Russia comes from a US belief that the US won the Cold War and that Russia refuses to behave like a defeated country by submitting to this ‘fact’.
I said that if there is to be any future to the US-Russia relationship the US has to move beyond this.
I also said that much of the anger in the US towards Donald Trump is precisely because he has had the realism to move beyond it.
