This was actually a point that Trump made in the last debate that I agreed with. "We can't be friends with Russia?" Or, something like that. I seem to recall he made some kind of statement like that, and I thought "Now, that's a good point. We SHOULD be able to be 'friends' with Russia." And, when politicians get to slandering each other for trying to be cordial with foreign diplomats, it always seems so juvenile. The media spends it's days trying to feed a fear of these places into our culture, when they're all just people like us. Then, whenever a person is trying to be elected, they have to pander, or cater, to that fear or they're perceived as a traitor.
