LOL . . . the previous administration was on the phone with Russia almost 24 hours a day.
The "hotline" to make sure that the U.S. and Russians didn't kill each other in Syria after the Saudi's saw the lunatics we were supporting in Syria and told the Russians to get involved.
To the point we actually told the Russians to bomb the guys we were arming.
Two days ago, there was nearly and armed clash in Syria between Russian and U.S. troops, but dipshits like Steve Dave don't want any communication between the two leaders.
