#1 Trump has praised the Russian leader and one of his top foreign policy advisers, retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, had dinner with Putin last December.

Smart move, getting to know your adversary. Flynn is my pick for incoming Director, CIA.

#4 Russia will never be a friend. Our spheres of interest butt up against one another too much.

But, they can be a useful associate on some issues. I just don't see how we can agree on ISIS as Russia wants Assad propped up and they are using Iran to push the US influence out of the Middle East. Not much common ground there.

#7 BYOB? As long as you bring a food taster dining with Putin can be profitable for both parties.
