CentCom has reported that it is very likely that Russia has recently supplied weapons and supported the Taliban in Afghanistan. If this proves to be true, it changes everything that Trump, the alt-right and Evangelicals have been trying to sell us .... that Russia should be and can be our friend. NOT TRUE! Russia and the USA are locked in as permanent adversaries. We are zero sum players in a world where only one of us can ultimately win. Putin knows this. Trump apparently does not. Again, if the Russian-Taliban alliance is confirmed, the U.S. must pull out all the stops and along with the rest of the free world, declare Russia to be a Terrorist State. They must be sanctioned, fully cut off from trade, banking and international governmental interactions until they cease support of terrorist groups and shut down their cyber warfare against the West. Trump needs to move on this as soon as the Intelligence confirms Putin's actions. The only thing Putin responds to is strength. I pray we still have it.

For decades, mutually assured destruction kept the world free from major wars between the major parties. A professor of mine in management school, who was a specialist in US-Soviet relations, proposed that was the intent of the countries.
