The thaw in US relations with Russia offers a chance to fight terror together
The time has come to end this vicious spin cycle of mutual suspicion. Rebuilding trust won’t be easy. Accommodations would have to be made and sealed at a suitably trumpeted summit or conference. Yalta II, even: Putin agreeing to respect Ukraine’s borders, the West conceding Russia’s right to Crimea.
A dime-bag panacea for all that challenges global security it would not be. But whereas Hillary Clinton so eagerly engaged in retro-Cold War brinkmanship, Trump presents the chance for a new start, to bury the paranoid perception of Putin as a rapacious imperial crusader and to work with him against a shared threat.
