I just hope HRC realizes she will not have so easy a time dealing with Putin, Xi, or the Iranians

(...as she did with Trump).

In an ideal situation, it would have been better if she had first spent some time as Secretary of State or something.

Oh, wait. She did.

Never mind.

Wait until you know what's really going on, and THEN decide your reaction. Obama became one of the coolest customers ever to sit behind that desk in the Oval Office precisely for that reason!

Is either stupid or under the age of four.

3 words: Комитет Государственной Безопасности

Whatever title he may go under now, that's who Putin was, and remains. Конец связи

...so outside the norms of civilized behavior, that Clinton deserves accolades simply for not over-reacting, for analyzing her opponent rationally and responding appropriately.

That takes a great deal of smarts.

It is a conservative approach to an unpredictable situation--which is almost always better than a rash approach. Republicans have such a hard time accepting that other than their hijacking the word for propaganda purposes, there is little about them that is "conservative."
