Sources for “Trump’s NATO hostility and Russia relations trace back to 1987”
--
This morning The Hill published my piece titled “Trump’s NATO hostility and Russia relations trace back to 1987.” (I submitted it with the title “A Gentleman for Moscow: To Understand Donald Trump, Look to 1987,” but I agree with the editors that the alternate title is better.)
Here are a core set of references for that piece.
