It's also not an overstatement in the slightest to say that whenever you make the points that Chomsky did here, you get accused of being a stealth Trump apologist, secret alt-right supporter, Kremlin stooge, or just an all-around lunatic. That's the climate that's been stoked.

The notion that leaders must have pure motives in order to forge better relations with nation states is not something borne out by history.

That actually doesn't address the point just raised. The question was why would any American trust Trump to forge better relations on terms favorable to a majority of Americans? The notion Trump can be trusted on anything is not borne out by history.

It gave up domination of buffer states and reconciled itself to the reunification of Germany. In return NATO expanded right up to its borders. Russia has some reasonable historic concerns about that.

Nice strawman argument but no. Obama also tried to ease tensions with Russia with no blowback. Easing tensions with Russia is not the issue. Helping Russia wage cyberwar on the US is the issue. And Clinton-Yeltsin is not going to make Americans shrug at that sorry boo
