In this Dec. 12, 2016 file photo, (click here) National Security Adviser-designate Michael T. Flynn waits for an elevator in the lobby at Trump Tower in New York. The Obama administration is aware of frequent contacts between President-elect Donald Trump’s top national security adviser Michael Flynn and Russia’s ambassador to the United States, including on the day President Barack Obama hit Moscow with sanctions in retaliation for election-related hacking, a senior U.S. official said Friday, Jan. 13, 2017....

They also both exhibit a loose relationship with facts: (click here) General Flynn, for instance, has said that Shariah, or Islamic law, is spreading in the United States (it is not). His dubious assertions are so common that when he ran the Defense Intelligence Agency, subordinates came up with a name for the phenomenon: They called them “Flynn facts.”
During the transition, General Flynn has been present when Mr. Trump has received his daily intelligence briefing. As national security adviser, he would have the last word on how the president should respond to crises such as a showdown with China over the South China Sea or an international health crisis like the Ebola epidemic.
But, like Mr. Trump, he would enter the White House with significant baggage. The Flynn Intel Group, a consulting firm he founded after he was fired by President Obama as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, has hazy business ties to Middle Eastern countries and has appeared to lobby for the Turkish government. General Flynn also took a paid speaking engagement last year with Russia Today, a television network funded by the Kremlin, and attended the network’s lavish anniversary party in Moscow, where he sat at Mr. Putin’s elbow....
Donald Trump is not working for Exxon-Mobile. He is putting American lives and Ukraine lives in danger.
Any man that believes better relations will secure the USA has serious issues with balancing his books. This puts Donald Trump and his cabinet in the powers of impeachment.
Russia's Putin wants to reconstitute the USSR. This is interesting because it was George H. W. Bush that claims his measures internationally caused the fall of the USSR. Now, Donald Trump wants to look the other way and provide a world with Exxon Mobile profiting from Russian wealth. So it thinks.
Start the preparations for impeachment, this is a national security issue and is providing even more drastic wealth to Wall Street. Russia will enjoy the reconstitution of the USSR and it will set USA foreign policy back 27 years.

President-elect Donald Trump (click here) says he will keep the latest sanctions on Russia in place "for a period of time" but is open to lifting them if Moscow cooperates on issues of mutual interest. Trump also says he is not committed to a longstanding agreement with China over Taiwan.
His remarks came in an hour-long interview with The Wall Street Journal on Friday.
While several sanctions on Russia were imposed in 2014 over its annexation of Crimea, the latest measures, as well as the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats, were imposed by the Obama administration last month in response to evidence Russia hacked Democratic Party officials during the presidential election....
I am not surprised Russia is begging for a change election in 2016. When Russia invaded Ukraine taking Crimea and eastern Ukraine it fell under international sanctions. Those sanctions caused Putin to pull in it's borders and institute nationalism and isolationism. It would not surprise me if the states within Russia were preparing for the final blow to Russian sovereignty and not just the fall of the USSR.
There are 14 major republics within the Russian borders. Those republics could absorb the 46 smaller oblasts. Oblasts are administrative districts. Russia is communist, it has assets it distributes throughout the country, so it can conduct itself without concern for economic viability of smaller oblasts.
The removal of sanctions on Russia is a direct threat to the USA and it's sovereignty and safety. With Russia increasing it's wealth it will no doubt seek a stronger and more aggressive military and spread it's presence far beyond that exists today. That means in it's "...Friendship Pact" of 2001 (click here) with China should China launch aggression into the Pacific, Russia would be a full partner. That brings three of the major powers of the world into a conflict that will ultimately cause enormous numbers of deaths and potentially destroy any and all capacity of allies to survive afterward.
Russia has offered nothing in the way of reassurances and without sanctions the war against Ukraine will escalate and NATO will be drawn into a larger conflict.
Once Europe is engaged in conflict, it will weaken the military of the USA to defend itself as the military will be engaged elsewhere. The USA is still involved in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria (the undeclared war). Once the USA military is involved in Europe that will leave a far weaker resolve in the Pacific and China along with Russia will open still yet another war front. It will be World War Three and the result will be incredibly devastating for all peoples and all governments.
The White Supremacists of Europe are currently measuring their might should Europe fall into war.
World War Three will be the do all and end all war. There is no reason to engage peace. Russia and China will have their communist governments at stake. As far as Communists being some of the most hungry capitalists in the world, that is false. Motherland comes first and if that means swallowing the profits of Wall Street than all the better.
World War Three will be the end of either democracy or communism and many, many innocent lives on all continents.
