"Geopolitics are back and they are back with a vengeance," McMaster told the audience.
McMaster said Trump's policy is driven by four key priorities: protecting the homeland, advancing and protecting U.S. prosperity, maintaining peace through strength, and advancing U.S. influence.

Anyone recall the last time--if ever--Trump called Russia a problem, or bad for doing something? Name an instance.
Fred, Russia is not stealing trillions over trillions in IP from the US. Nor is Russia arming North Korea. Nor is Russia threatening war if US ships dock in Taiwan. Nor is Russia threatening war to any other APAC nation. You know who does? China.
I'm on your side when you make sense and point out failings of Trump - there are many - but not when he prioritizes China over Russia. Because Russia interference is quite honestly a fabrication of CNN, unless we finally - after one year and counting - do actually get to see evidence not produced by FBI cronies. Thank you.
