Gorbachev could not do. >> they feared something remotely, vaguely approaching this would happen. theyre saying things like theyre speechless, gutted. they hold the u.s. and have long held the u.s. to be this shining example of democracy and strength. like one country strong enough to stand up to russia. so to see this happen, it is stunning. i mean, i know were saying this over and over. but there was one time that trump called out vladimir putin by name. and that was for supporting as he put i...

Youve seen of course a dramatic change in opinion polling. and even in the behavior of republicans on capitol hill who one year ago were willing to raise more concerns. remember that the senate voted 98-2 to oppose and to codify into law the sanctions against russia when there were initial worries right after president trumps inauguration that he might lift the sanctions on russia. basically congress did step in. flash forward a year later, and i think weve heard remarkably little from republica...

Read a long briefing book about vladimir putin. he is not going to read a biography. he feels a couple of hours in a room with him, which he has just had, will tell him a lot more about vladimir putin than any other way of learning about him. and from putins side, of course, putin has been something of an international pariah since the ukraine and crimea situations and now he is meeting one-on-one equal to equal with the president of the united states. thats a big benefit for him. >> sandra: it ...

This. putin showed his hand when he said that russia wanted him to win. that means russia single-handedly screwed with perceptions of candidates in this race. >> he knows what trouble he started with. >> absolutely. the chaos is dirty gas. >> i biggest take away of what i have said several times on the show is that vladimir putin denied interference and the election process. the president believed to vladimir putin over his own intelligence community. >> he heard when he was vice president from ...

Where are republican colleagues. where are the republicans who roared approval when reagan told gorbachev to tear down the wall. where are the republicans that demanded a strong response when putin annexed crimea? where are the republicans that know in their heart that the president is giving away the store to vladimir putin? now is the time for our republican colleagues to join us bipartisan and stand up. if we wait much longer, our global alliances will fracture, the institutions that america ...

Conference. >> im so sorry, i was close to crying. i so would like for this president to be successful, but what happened today, what happened to the man who likes to fire everybody? what happened to mr. gorbachev, turn down that wall? even if you think hes playing this, this doesnt work on any of the national scene, it was sad. >> martha: bill, what did you think? >> i dont think the summit should have happened in the first place. vladimir putin has been a global menace. if hes been out there i...

Foreign policy we have a break from anything we have seen in this modern relationship, donald trump standing next to vladamir putin slashing out at the special counsel probe, and thats not all. forget the trump hyperbole error and consider the history like this moment, from 1987. >> mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall! >> that was how american presidents used to confront things they objected to the soviets were doing or remember clinton and boris yeltsin tangling over bosnia in 1995. >> the more ...

Russia. im not saying they are equivalent. im saying though that the p provocation after baker promised gorbachev that the west would not go one inch beyond germany and under the clinton administration we kept pushing, pushing, pushing. for every action we put out there there is a reaction. we need to think this through. its not a moral equivalency or justifys russias behavior, from russias perspective, they see nato xangs as a threat and nationalism may be inherent to the tides of the current c...
