As you already know, I have lots of thoughts about what we've done to ourselves as a country and what we've allowed to happen. But we'll see where this goes. Whether you want to say it's good or bad is irrelevant. But it was Keystone Kops, and that's scary.

The Obama Administration’s last attempt at resetting relations with Russia culminated in Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and military intervention in the Middle East. At the very least, the price of another ‘reset’ would be complicity in Putin and Assad’s butchery of the Syrian people. That is an unacceptable price for a great nation. When America has been at its greatest, it is when we have stood on the side those fighting tyranny. That is where we must stand again.

The problem is the Russians don’t care about international law, and we do.

I have a few concerns/edits: Instead of ‘U.S. government’s illegal spying operations,’ I’d propose ‘U.S. government’s controversial intelligence gathering’… I would replace ‘misuse of power’ with ‘actions.’
