Trump adviser accuses U.S. of disregarding Russia's interests

A foreign policy adviser to U.S. Republican candidate Donald Trump has accused Washington of contributing to an atmosphere of mutual contempt with Moscow by disregarding Russia's interests.

Carter Page, a former investment banker whose views on Russia have caused controversy in the past, made the comments in an opinion piece for Russia's state-controlled Sputnik news agency that was published on Thursday.

"From Syria to Ukraine to world energy policy, Russia remains an essential piece in the puzzle for solving many of Washington's most pressing geostrategic challenges," Page wrote in the article.

The U.S. government had shown a "complete disregard for Russia's interests", Page said, saying this had fueled a sharp deterioration in bilateral relations.

2. For fuck's sake already....If a Democrat said ANYTHING like this...

the shitstorm would look like Hurricane matthew from space...

ENOUGH!

The GOP and the Trump supporters need to crawl back into the hole they were freed from like an evil Genie in 2008...
The shelf-life of this hatred based party has expired and the milk is rancid....put it down the drain with some bleach to staunch the stench...

6. You know, any election but this one, and the fact that Russia is trying to influence

the election for POTUS would be the biggest story of the decade. Andrea Mitchell reported that the new Wiki Leaks this AM was reported on Russian media even before they were released to the public. Really? Russia is on a daily basis releasing documents to get Trump elected. This is a huge story regardless of what is in the documents.
