As the media fulminates, they fail to see how Trump has kept the usual machinery running.... President Donald Trump has strengthened, not weakened, American military and economic opposition to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Irrespective of what Trump harrumphs about NATO or Vladimir Putin, the multi-trillion-dollar military-industrial-counterterrorism complex rules American-Russian relations as it has for seven decades.
Trump has authorized the transfer of defensive military weapons.
Obama limited the U.S. military mission in Syria to defeating ISIS. Trump has expanded the mission to remain in Syria indefinitely and influence the outcome of that country's protracted civil war.
Trump has affirmed that he will treat an attack on any NATO member as an attack on the United States and will respond with military force without a constitutionally required declaration of war.
Trump has maintained economic sanctions against Russia for its annexation of Crimea and further military encroachments into eastern Ukraine.
They cannot point to a single thing the Trump administration has done that has diminished our overwhelming military and economic superiority over Russia or deterrence of Russian aggression.
