Can you find someone to let Trump know that Russia is NOT the USSR? The GDP of the United States is $32.64 trillion. The GDP of Russia is just $2.86 trillion. He seems to think that Russia is some kind of powerhouse of a nation. It is a large land mass although, again, not as large as he thinks it is due to the distortion created by flat maps. He is living in the past, the ‘50’s, the time of the Cold War. That is not at all the Russia of today. The GDP of the European Union massively outweighs the GDP of Russia yet he disrespects our staunch allies. I don’t think he would be so enamored of Putin if he had an accurate picture of the current situation in Russia. We have far more to gain by continuing our relationship with Europe and defending Ukraine than we could possibly gain in an alliance with Russia. Can someone wake him up?
