We should have done more when they invaded their neighbors and in syria. Obammy allowed Russia to grow stronger and I'm afraid Trump will formalize that.
Ya know, good possibility russia was thinking the same thing on syria...
we got there first (you'll recall, mccain flew over and met up with some thug rebels who were later seen on cell phone cam eating the heart of one of their enemies, remember?)
and Russia probably got to thinking, "hey, we should do more about the US helping to overthrow the legitimate government of a country so far away from them we're surprised they knew it existed, but they have oil, so hey, we shouldn't be that surprised...
as far as the crimea annexation, meh, let the people of crimea speak... they seem pretty happy with russian rule and they were heavily russian influenced prior to the annexation...
