USA and Russia

 * 'Putin Would Eat President Trump for Lunch', by Leonid Bershidsky, bloombergview.com, Jul. 31, 2015
 * In June, Trump told Fox News host Bill O'Reilly why he'd likely have a "great relationship" with the Russian leader. "He’s got a tremendous popularity in Russia, they love what he’s doing, they love what he represents," Trump said. "I was over in Moscow two years ago and I will tell you — you can get along with those people and get along with them well. You can make deals with those people. Obama can’t."
 * Can Donald Trump Build A Campaign To Last? by Jessica Taylor, npr.org, July 29, 2015.

 * "We are moving to a big war" (i.e. bigger conflict in Syria)- Says the former head of the intelligence department of the Ministry of Defense Michael Flynn, Kommersant (Rus), 21.12.2015. (google translate).
 * But if there is cooperation between Russia and USA, we don't really have to. ---Not a proxy war, but not a cooperation either at this point; no common vision of goals and means/ rules. If something is too arcane or plain idiotic, that does not work well for Russia. For the US, seems hard to see things as they are, not as they were set, or meant, to be. )
 * On government-to-government level, Russia would say (as in World Order-Putin interview to V Soloviev) that not only the US, but they too, have interests, and everybody should follow equally understood and applied transparent rules. (Any objections to that needs to be sent to Kremlin). --Resup (talk) 13:22, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

The 23rd Wing at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia announced it will send 12 A-10 Warthog attack planes and crews to Central and Eastern European to bolster NATO’s “Operation Atlantic Resolve,” an ongoing show of military might meant to deter Russian aggression in the region. Earlier there were plans to eliminate A-10s due to budget cuts --Resup (talk) 13:17, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Money and Men
"Some people just do not fit well into a highly skilled market-based economy. They are perfectly decent people,- we will send them off to Afghanistan. But they are not going to command a big price. You still want to get them most out of their abilities. But if their abilities leave them unable to earn much more than the poverty level ... we ought to do something additional for them..."-Warren Buffett.
 * (Among familiar characters, those who 'do not fit well' may include Strelkov, Mozgovoi for Novorossia, perhaps some American counterparts like Stanley McChrystal; perhaps Putin and Trump in their roles as politicians; and quite many, though not all, artists and scientists. Those who 'fit well' had diverse contributions-including the current pre-WW3 looking crisis ...--Resup (talk) 22:48, 10 September 2015 (UTC))

Arrests

 * MOSCOW, December 25. /TASS/. Russian national A. Burkov (no name is given) was on December 13 detained in Tel Aviv airport and placed under arrest on US authorities’ warrant, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s commissioner for human rights, democracy and rule of law, Konstantin Dolgov, said in a comment posted on the ministry’s website Friday. "We hope the Israeli authorities will prevent extradition of A.Y.Burkov to the United States, where he, like many other Russian nationals, would surely be in for politicized and biased justice," Dolgov said. --Resup (talk) 15:20, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
