How should America deal with Russia? Should it be demonized and sanctioned, or embraced? Russia’s actions over the last 20 years have included interventions in the Baltics, Georgia, Ukraine, Syria and the South Caucasus. Additionally, it has been active in trying to sow dissent and undermine democracies in the U.S., Europe, and its near abroad. And, it is presently engaged with China selling the Chinese much needed oil and gas in return for desperately needed cash.
