Trump has no experience in foreign policy at all. He has no qualms at all about disintegrating NATO. I'm not sure what makes y'all think that Trump would have any success against Putin.
Hillary is trash... but, I don't get how y'all are so excited about Trump...

Who needs success against Putin?
Seriously, WTF are you complaining about?
Obama is trying to screw with Russia and Russia is kicking Obama's arse...and deservedly so.
We have no business on Russia's borders, yet we continue to operate as though they are a threat to us, so we keep pushing Russia into a corner. For what? My bet is for more markets for the Western wealthy.
To say that Trump would do worse than Obama is to believe that we should be fvcking with Russia...and that is just plain stupid.
It amazes me that people do not study their history, but they are willing to give opinions on global matters. Russia is not going to be a direct threat to the US. They can't occupy our land...they can't outperform us in the markets...they can't do shit to the US of gawdamned America...PERIOD.
Yet some folks want to paint them as the big bad wolf that we have to battle.
Frankly, that is a waste of time. Russia isn't going to roll into Germany...they just aren't. What would Putin gain by such a move?

Russia isn't going to threaten any of our traditional allies or markets.
What Russia will do is try to steady their borders and reestablish what they see is their role in their neighboring states. Duh...that is what EVERY country tries to do.
Big deal. Let them.
Russia will simply do what we do...they will just do it in a less sophisticated and less sneaky way. Oh, the horror.
Again, we will need Russia more as an ally than an enemy. I am not concerned about Latvia, Georgia, Persnikita, or any other tiny country's interests. They have dealt with powers at their doorstep for millennia...they'll deal with it now. And let's not try to pretend that we are their saviors...all we are doing is putting different people in the driver's seats...the direction of travel isn't much different except for more useless distractions.
