My Comment: As one whose nationality is Russian .... and who pays a lot of attention to what is happening in Russia .... especially when it comes to U.S. - Russian relations .... statements like this one from a senior national security adviser tells me that this White House is clued out with what is happening in Russia. Bottom line .... the Russia line from the media/pundit class/social media is that relations with the U.S. are the worst since the height of the Yugoslav civil war in the 90s .... and the prediction is that it is going to get even more strained.
