Russia stands against the Zionist agenda in the Middle East that is to divide up and weaken nations that are seen as a threat against Israel. That is why Hillary Clinton was backed by a long list of neo-conservative Jews like Paul Wolfowicz, Richard Perle, Robert Kagan, etc who are the people along with their media establishment that push for wars that have their tribal interests.
Trump is very pro-Israel, so why did they back Clinton over him? Trump at least he claims to oppose regime change and the disastrous foreign policy. He wants to get along with Russia, when the others beat the drums of war. Hillary Clinton was pushed as the progressive peoples candidate, but really she was the pro-war candidate.
This relationship with Russia will prove difficult of course because while Trump may want to get along with Russia, Russia is also allied with Iran.
