Aside from the stupidity of refighting the Crimean war, Russia is now far to eager to provide military technology to China which is enabling the Chineese to become a serious military threat to the US. The INF treaty which was always all about Europe constrains the US from rebuilding and redeploying missiles to match Chinese systems. Trump recognizes that China can be constrained simply by revoking the Brenton woods free trade regime.
With that, I agree wholeheartedly. Sadly, there is too much hysteria between USA and Russia now to quickly remedy the situation.
