Reagan and Gorby , Nixon & Chou En Lai two successful US Negotiators Both well respected by their counterparts.
Reagan defeated Russia economically but made them a friend. Nixon divided the two big Communists country’s and opened up China (the China Card)
Contrast that with Carter Iranian Hostage negotiations , that Reagan had to fix… Obama, Putin failures .Obama managed to make an enemy from a friend Russia tried to help by warning of Boston Bombing O,simply brushed him aside….Russia was our ally in WW2 ,now Obama makes him an enemy along with Germany our friend that we SPY on !….everything is upside down….this failure pushed Germany and Russia together against USA colossal Foreign policy failure ! He should be making Russia a friend and bring them into the European group.or better yet Russia US England. We need someone to export to, Russia would be ideal for consumer goods…Food,Frozen Chickens,Pigs,Farm Equipment,auto,oil services,Fracking,Gas LNG facilities.WE should trade with Russia ans stop this Political nonsense.
