My guess is that he wouldn't sign off on the Putin deal to give up 1 nuclear weapon in return for

1) The US subrogating all foreign policy to Putin
2) The US lifting sanctions
3) The US greenlighting all Putin military moves.

DJT needs cover for his lifting of sanctions. They'll attempt to present it as a nuclear arms deal. Not that Putin ever keeps any promise he's ever made.

My guess is that Countryman wouldn't play ball.

I guess his new boss found him wanting. Too bad for him his new boss is a businessman who has brought business practices to government and not a politician

Considering how aggressively the Russians are modernizing their nuclear arsenal when compared to what we are doing... Give me a break with this. Obama watched the world become a more dangerous place and he either did nothing or he did the reverse of what a sane person would do.

Obama was basically like this guy when it came to foreign policy

He didn't kiss the ring.

1980s foreign policy I can live with...I'm concerned with DJT's 1930's UK style foreign policy.
