Alan Watt Climate Denialist, Level 7 …

May I quote Henry John Temple Palmerston here?

We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow.

If working with Putin and Russia advances key US interests such as defeating ISIS, then we work with them. If Putin and Russia are working against key US interests, then we oppose them. An entrepreneur like Trump understands that your partner in one deal can end up being your competitor in the next.

IMHO, President Carter completely messed up US foreign policy by making “human rights” the dominant consideration. It would be wonderful if we could always be on the same side as angels, but sometimes you have to ally yourself with sons of bitches to forestall a greater evil. Churchill and Roosevelt understood this.
