Reset

Early in Obama’s first term he cancelled the plan to install missals in Poland and the Czech Republic. Russia vigorously opposed these weapons and were pleased when Obama reversed the Bush plan. Later he sent Secretary Clinton to Russia with the now famous reset. Many analysts feel that this was an attempt by Obama to get Russia to join with the US against Iran. While Obama didn’t talk nice about Russia he acted nice. Trump on the other hand is talking nice but putting sanctions on Russia. In either case they both were trying to develop a working relationship. Obama was criticized by the right and Trump is criticized by the left. Can either one of these groups be trusted to make decisions based on what is best for the country verses what is best for the party?
