Donald Trump manages to be more sensible on Syria than Hilary

Sure, but then we come to the question of having the power to enforce penalties. I don't think we should let Russia act willy-nilly without a response, either in the case of their atrocities in Syria or in the widening hacking story. I'd love to see more sanctions. It's too bad the EU can't shoulder up as well, but understanding that they get much of their gas from Russia, they don't have much leverage.

And the ugly truth is, neither do we.
