32. This talk about Russia "helping in the fight against terrorism" . . .

. . . is a bullshit pipe dream.

In Russian terms, "terrorists" and "terrorism" is anyone the Russians perceive as a threat. In Syria, for example, the "terrorists" are those who oppose Assad and his murderous regime.

Trump and his advisors are too damn stupid to understand this. Yes, there are areas in which our goals parallel those of Russia. This is not one of them.
