“We have to remind ourselves we’re on the same team. Vladimir Putin’s not on our team,” Obama added. “If we get to a point where people in this country feel more affinity with a leader who is an adversary and view the United States and our way of life as a threat to him, then we’re gonna have bigger problems than just cyber hacking.”

Russia and the USA have a common worry - China.
Much can be gained if the two work together to bring her back in line.

I see many of you wondering and asking questions why your government is lying to you and so on.
I have a theory to offer to you - long story short, the people of US are more divided then ever before ever since these last elections. So much so that it is reaching a dangerous level (Ukraine is an example of a divided country).
What your powers that be are unsuccessfully trying to do is find a common enemy to unify the nation, and Russia in their view fits the bill perfectly. Truth has nothing to do with this, everything reguarding Russia has been lies driven by desperation. Desperation which is obviously not working and leading to one stupid move after another.
Don't buy that crap.
Find a different way to unify. For example unity in the name of a just, peaceful and prosperous world. Not more hate and war which you are being force fed.

Parts of Ukraine are occupied, annexed by Russia. Is that a lie? What about Russian occupation (or attempted) of Chechnya or Georgia to name but two? Is that a lie? No bs, none of your opinionated view, facts only please if you want to respond.

I say we unite under the flag of rebirthing our own government, and solving our own problems rather than starting another war and sending anyone who questions it off to die on the front lines...
But that's just me

Now, i maybe wrong here, but did the west back an illegal forced regime change in Ukraine? So russia went in there after the collapse of Ukraines sovereignty after western backed coup?

I've read through your post a couple of times while thinking how best to respond. I think however whatever I write you will just spin round to show how Russia but much more specifically Putin has not acted as an aggressor in any way and it's all someone else's fault. That's ignorance in the extreme, but I know when it's not really worth pursuing the debate.
