Many bright, informed, liberals, some very prominent individuals, have praised Donald Trump for doubting "US intelligence". Their argument is: 'look at where our faulty intelligence took us with regards to Iraq'.
This would be a sound and justified argument if Trump had rejected the intelligence on Syria's alleged chemical weapons - he did not. He bombed Syria without evidence.
He did not argue against intelligence on any other instance OTHER than Russia.
So this line of thinking does not merit consideration.
Is it good to talk to your 'adversary'? Always, but why only Russia and nowhere else?
We cannot cherry pick and more than Trump can cherry pick.
