"I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job."

Said Donald Trump to Russian officials — "according to a document summarizing the meeting," according to the NYT. He's also said to have said: "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off."
The White House document that contained Mr. Trump’s comments was based on notes taken from inside the Oval Office and has been circulated as the official account of the meeting. One official read quotations to The Times, and a second official confirmed the broad outlines of the discussion.
ADDED: An awful lot of people are quick to call Trump crazy, and here he is calling Comey crazy. Everybody's crazy now. Maybe the idea of insanity doesn't mean much anymore — doesn't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.

Extremely important, according to people who seem to know, is what we can expect from the Russians in 2018 and beyond, and how do we defend ourselves. Sen. Sasse has been sounding this alarm and it does seem very important.

The Russians aren't America's friends.

How can we anticipate what Russia will do, when no one can point to anything they did? You are a self proclaimed expert, refuse to identify a single action item Russia has taken.
