Washington (CNN)Donald Trump's Russia problem isn't going away.
http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/02/politics/donald-trump-russia-problem-putin-hayden/index.html
In the past week, the Republican presidential nominee has been pilloried for
his comments expressing openness to Russia's annexation of Crimea, has
called on the Russian government to share emails it possibly hacked from
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and drawn rebukes from critics who say he
's soft on a traditional US adversary.
Trump says Putin is 'not going to go into Ukraine,' despite Crimea
Former CIA Director Michael Hayden became the latest heavyweight in the
George W. Bush administration to lash out at Trump when he criticized the
candidate Monday night for making conflicting statements about his
relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Russians like Donald Trump, but do they believe him?

"I recognize that flexibility and creativity might actually be good selling
used cars and selling real estate, but when you want to be the head of an
international superpower, precision and consistency are really important,"
Hayden told CNN's Erin Burnett.
Hayden's comments come after Trump told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday that he
has no relationship with Putin -- a remark that conflicted with Trump's long
history of saying the opposite and embracing Putin's praise for his
candidacy.
And a new CNN/ORC poll finds that most Americans see the Russian leader
differently, with nearly 6-in-10 viewing the country as unfriendly, and
about half saying they think the Russian government is attempting to
influence the outcome of the US presidential election.
The debate over Trump's sympathy for Putin or take on world affairs is more
than an esoteric squabble over foreign policy, experts said. By calling into
question established structures and alliances that have held since World
War II, Trump is unsettling allies and encouraging potential instability
that inevitably draws the US to intervene.

In his "This Week" appearance, Trump also echoed Moscow's claim that
Crimeans welcomed Russia's annexation and seemed to suggest that Russia hadn
't entered Ukraine at all, telling host George Stephanopolous, "The people
of Crimea, from what I've heard, would rather be with Russia than where they
were."
As for Putin's foray into Ukraine, Trump said, "He's not going into Ukraine,
Okay, just so you understand. He's not going to go into Ukraine, all right?"
"Well, he's already there, isn't he?" Stephanopolous replied.
Sunday's exchange came in the wake of an alleged Russian computer hack of
the Democratic National Committee -- seen as an unprecedented foreign effort
to interfere in a modern US election -- and Trump's own call to Russia,
which he later described as "sarcastic," to help find deleted emails sent by
Clinton.
And the associations that his staffers have with Russian businesses and pro-
Moscow interests complicates the campaign's efforts to push back against
criticism on the subject and fend off questions about the Trump team's
motivations.
Trump adviser Carter Page has extensive dealings with Gazprom, the Russian
state-run energy company with strong ties to Putin and his inner circle.
Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort consulted for former Ukrainian
President Victor Yanukovich, a key Putin ally, until his ouster in February
2014. In the chaotic aftermath, Russian-backed separatists seized the Crimea
, a Ukrainian territory that Moscow later annexed.

In this context, Trump's comments expressing admiration for Putin are
unsettling, said Evelyn Farkas, a former deputy assistant secretary of
defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia.
Trump's comments seemingly excusing Russia's invasion of Crimea throw into
question his commitment to a system that has built a relatively peaceful and
prosperous post-war order, said Farkas, now a senior fellow at the Atlantic
Council. At a time when Russia as abrogated arms control treaties and its
planes are buzzing US ships in the Baltic Sea, Trump has praised Putin as a
canny leader who he respects.

Since the end of WWII, there has been an existing consensus among nations
that borders should not be altered by force. Russia has deviated from that
twice, in Georgia in 2008 and again in Ukraine.
"The international system is set up the way it is, and has provided relative
peace and prosperity for decades," Farkas said. "To violate that is
shocking and the bipartisan response has been 'this can't stand.' "

"If we accept the position that big states can ride roughshod over little
states, that treaties are irrelevant and that we don't care whether we have
solemn commitments to allies we are encouraging further attacks against our
allies in Europe, Asia and the Middle East," said Stephen Blank, a senior
fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council.
Whether the Crimean people welcomed Russia's invasion is irrelevant, said
Blank, as "it was still a clear aggression of a country." And he noted that
Trump's remarks have a potential ripple effect, providing an invitation for
the estimated 25 million Russian minorities in post-Soviet states "to
agitate for the dismemberment of their countries" and a return to the
Russian fold.
"The international system is set up the way it is, and has provided relative
peace and prosperity for decades," Farkas said. "To violate that is
shocking and the bipartisan response has been 'this can't stand.' "
"The whole reason we have alliances like these is to deter countries like
Russia from laying a finger on our allies. It's a way to prevent war, plain
and simple," Farkas said.
Ukrainian Ambassador to the US Valeriy Chaly echoed Farkas' point Monday,
telling CNN that while he didn't want to get involved in US election
politics, Trump's comments concerned him.
"We count United States will be predictable, will have predictable
leadership and predictable foreign policy," Chaly said.
