I am personally interested in this topic because it will be of great help to my career since I will be able to bring many people together and settle the dispute because I will be interacting with many people. The topic will also help me to understand the failures that can result when two or more people are trying to form an alliance. The problem affects me not directly but indirectly since one of my co values is integrity, harmony, and innovations that will not be achieved when there is no agreement. If I was to answer this research question, then I will say that forming an alliance will do more good to U.S. this is because they will be able to interact and work together. At the same time, they will be able to attack and defeat the common enemy they have. I was excited to find out that every time an agreement between two parties is to be established then all parties involved blame each other for the failure in reaching consensus.

The article is about what the American president thinks regarding the Russian president. It expounds that the issues regarding the Russian government featured during the campaign whereby when Clinton claimed that the Russian president was an aggressive, aristocrat, who were in a position to threaten the national security of the United States. On the other hand, Trump described him as a strong and decisive leader whom Washington can do business with. Because of this reason, Trump is not going to challenge the Russia's claim to Crimea or going to argue over the issues concerning Ukraine. From this reason, it is clear that, once Trump has been sworn in as the president, there will be an improvement in the relationship between the United States and Russia. These might even lead to the ease in the business between the two nations.
This article has helped me to realize that, the alliance between U.S and Russia is good because, with such alliance, it will help in improving the business between the two states. So, it is important to ensure that the two nations form an alliance for the sake of the development.
Dimitri k.Simes was a Russian who was born in Moscow by the parents who were secular Jewish in the year nineteen forty-seven in the month of October. He was able to serve as the president of the party which was formally known as Nixon Center and was later on changed to center which was based on the interest of the nation, in addition to this he was also an author and an analyst who was doing analysis on the policies that were foreign. Additionally, Simes was able to publish a journal which he gave the title foreign policies. He was also concerned about the national interest. He was lucky to be elected as a leader to the center by Richard Nixon by the year nineteen night four. As a result of this, he becomes the adviser to Richard. He was advising him concerning the policies although it was not formal. Simes was also privileged to chair a program on the center for Russia as well as Eurasian.
This article helps us to understand according to (Doidge 33)that the Americas are highly faced by the problem of inflexibility and having a weakness when it comes to things which are concerning the facts. The policies that they are subjected to does not in any way abandon assumptions which are flawed as well as the conclusions which are to be determined earlier. To resolve this, leaders are expected to give a response which is based on combining the strength as well as pragmatism.
I see a relationship between this article and other sources whereby it is evident that the article is in agreement that, leaders are seen to play a significant role when it comes to the circumstances where the citizens are to be subjected. There is also a contradiction since; human beings are by nature supposed to make their decision and criticize what is wrong. Thus are not to be subjected to any harsh conditions. This source surprises me when it suggests that it is the role of U.S to find ways whereby they can establish a better relation with Russia, yet it should be a responsibility of both parties. The article more so raises some questions to me whereby am not able to understand about those who are to be responsible in shaping the U.S.

In his commentary, on the issues regarding Trump and what he thinks about Russia is that sanction should be done because the president of Ukraine is not doing what he is supposed to be doing. Before, Trump had said that what happened; the Russia’s annexation of Crimea is something which was not supposed to happen and because of that reason the United States will do the sanctions to the Moscow. He went ahead and said that Russian had decided to steal the heart and the soul of Ukraine. At this time, Trump used to be criticizing the president of Russia. But he changed during the campaigns and started praising the Russian president, while he argued that he was someone who understood and therefore he can work with him. This shows that the United States can form an alliance with Russia which something good since once they are united, there will be no conflict between the two nations.

During the trump's campaigns, the chairman for trump's campaigns said that Trump does not have any financial relationship with Russia was a claim which he termed to be absurd since Clinton wanted to get off the real issue. When Manafort, the chairman of the trump's campaigns, said that Trump would not be releasing the taxes because auditing was being done then it indicated that trump was not fully committed to forming an alliance with the Russia.. He went ahead to say that there was no relation between Russia and Trump. From what Manafort said regarding the Russian government hackers who had broken into the national Democratic committee's computer network. These lead to the opposition research on Trump and as well as the email correspondence and chat information. This article helps me to get to know the relation which is existing between the United States and Russia. From what has been exposed, it indicates that Trump is willing to form the alliance, but we have the opposition which against that idea.

According to ( Kristof 56), it is very questionable, and there are many things that can result if Americans become soft on their interaction with Russia. This is because many things can lead whereby the Russians are likely to take advantage of the kindness extended to them by the U.S. This article is related to the topic of discussion because it is the leaders who are supposed to protect the interest of the nation. I find this interesting because for an agreement and alliance to be found then one or all parties are to be soft.

In his article, he expounds on what Trump has promised to reset the relationship with Russia. He further explains what Trump is thinking of doing, Obama tried the same, and also, Hillary Clinton had tried also. From Stephen's view, he is trying to consider whether such improved relation between the two states will have any positive significance which might outweigh the unintended costs which are likely to be incurred. It is clear that with the improvement in the relation between the two nations will yield gains to the United States in the sense that it will revive the non-proliferation projects and closer anti-terrorism cooperation.
There are questions which arise from his relation, and that is whether Trump will be any more successful than his predecessors. These questions are as a result of the behavior of President Vladimir which made the presidents who came before Trump to be less successful in resisting the relation between the two nations. Trump does not keep his admiration for the Russian strongman as a secret. In fact, at some point, he says that he is a better leader than Obama. But during the campaigns, he did not show any concern to the Russian president by nominating someone who is controversial.
Generally, it is important t have the two nations coming together and to improve on their relation because by so doing, they will be in a position to work together and hence leading to the improved economy and the security amongst these nations.

The article expounds on the details of the agreement which Russia made with China regarding the trade between these nations. It also explains whether that is something to think about in the United States. And from this article, it is clear that this deal I something to be concerned since the biggest goal of the China is to ensure that they deflate the American dominance. And with such situation, it will lead to the greatest risk in the U.S dollar. From the fact that this deal is for 30 years, and it was transacted in a currency swap denominated in Yuan, which makes it the first time for an energy deal circumvented the dollar indicates that this deal is not good for the United States, and hence it will raise concerns in the states. This is so because it will affect America's economy overnight. the article also points out that as the china is trying to increase the resources which are meant to fuel the large economy, it has also engineered other Yuan currency swaps which include the $ 30 billion swap with brazil to the bolster BRICs and also the $ 11 billion swap with the Argentina which it announced that the main aim of this swap is to help the Latin nation to bolster its foreign reserves.

The article explains what Trump thinks regarding the relation between the two nations; that is Russia and the United States. He says that it is not a bad idea for the two nations to be in good terms. From the way Trump was talking is clear that one of the factors which were put into consideration before deciding to be in good terms with Russia is the possession of the nuclear weapons. So, the importance of this good relation is that it is meant to protect the interests of the United States but not to boost the relations between these states. So, it is important for the two states to come together since it will lead to the improvement of the economy of these nations and also they will join hands to fight terrorism hence leading to the increased chances of defeating them. From this point of view, it is, therefore, necessary for these nations to come together since by so doing, there are more chances that they will achieve what cannot be achieved easily by q single state like fighting terrorism.

From the article, it is clear that Russia is once again at the top of Washington's policy agenda. This is as a result of what has been happening in the neighboring nations which are Ukraine and Syria. This is brought about by the fact that Russia is trying to reclaim the position that it lost at the end of the cold war. So, because of this, the article further explains on the way the United States should handle Russia bearing in mind that it has the nuclear weapons. The article further explains that dealing with Russia is a challenge and therefore, Russia is perceived as the threat to the United States. Though Russia seems to be a threat to the United States, in reality, it is not as strong as it used to be in the past, but the United States having tried to improve the way in which it deals with Russia, and this trial has made the relationship between them to be worse. The pressure which the United States have put on Russia has led to it to look for the international friendship whereby with such friendship, the United States will not continue to mount pressure on this nation since it will be having support from these other nations. These nations should come together so as to work together to improve their economy and also so that they can join hands to fight the terrorists.

The article gives details on the development regarding the relation between the United States and Russia, whereby it explains that though during the campaigning time, there were a lot of issues which were discussed concerning the way the United States will relate with Russia. And after the campaigns, the two nations have had a talk on making a deal on the way they will deal with the terrorist and the Islamic states. So, this is an indication that the two nations should come together and join hands so as to ensure that they overpower the terrorists and the Islamic states. The article further explains that, after the two nations have come to an agreement on what should be done, they started blaming each other for failure to honor the agreement. So, the agreement which was made led to these nations to drift because each country is blaming the other for failure to honor the agreement.
