In Donald Trump’s Washington these days, how to deal with Russia is
not a diplomatic topic, but boils down to one question: who in the Trump
camp spoke to which Russian at which time and then denied it happened?
It’s a constantly changing story that already produced some collateral damage.
Trump’s first National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was forced to

recused himself from any investigation related to Russia’s covert
activity to undermine the 2016 US presidential election.
But there is another, less publicized story and that is the shock
and horror within Washington’s foreign policy establishment that Trump
is shattering the longtime consensus for treating Russia as a bitter
enemy.
Trump repeatedly praised Vladimir Putin
and even mocked the US intelligence community’s assessment that Russia
hacked into the computer system of his opponents at the Democratic
Party.
