How interesting.

Most of the GOP leadership is probably dirty with Russian money, either directly or indirectly (looking away while others did it).

Chaffez is leaving less than a year after being re-elected only a few weeks after stating he would not run again...someone is in a hurry to get the hell out.

FIFY
Both sides are filthy with Russian money. I don't think there's anything uniquely Russian about it either. If someone, somewhere is willing to spread cash around, there's politicians that will line up to sell favors. Sad, but true.

I think both left and right agrees that Hillary and Putin were not good friends. I doubt she was getting any of those payouts, directly or indirectly.

So, will Trump be sticking to prepared speeches or are we going to get Foreign Policy on the Fly from his world tour.
No hot spots here, just Saudi Arabia, Israel, Italy, the Vatican, Belgium.
What could possibly go wrong?

I don't get the widespread drama about this. You can expect fluff, the man is on the oil payroll.

Israel is always a hot spot. And SA is the key player in the region and arguably a generator of hot spots.
