Похоже, что Трампа начинают понемногу обкладывать флажками.

We must hold Russia accountable and demand that they honor the Minsk Agreements, beginning by de-escalating the violence in eastern Ukraine.

February 18, 2017 2. Генерал-лейтенант Макмастер, новый Советник по национальной безопасности, не похож на Флинна.
Из выступления Макмастера в Сенатской комиссии по вооруженным силам в апреле 2016:
In terms of state-based challenges, Russia’s purported annexation of Crimea and invasion of Ukraine demonstrated a sophisticated combination of diplomatic, informational, military, and economic means to achieve objectives below a threshold that the Russian leadership believe would elicit a concerted NATO response. In addition, through an intensive modernization effort, Moscow is developing a significant capability in several specific military areas. In Ukraine for example, the combination of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Offensive Cyber and advanced Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities depict a high degree of technological sophistication that is a direct result of their modernization efforts. Robust anti-access and area denial capabilities, which include advanced air defenses and mobile gun-missile systems that range out to 400 kilometers, allow Russia to challenge air superiority from the ground. In addition, Russia possesses a variety of rocket, missile, and cannon artillery systems that outrange and are more lethal than US Army artillery systems and munitions. Advanced close combat systems including new combat vehicles, active protective systems, and improved Anti-tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) highlight improvements in the mobility, protection, and lethality of Russian heavy forces. It is clear that while our Army was engaged in Afghanistan and Iraq Russia studied US capabilities and vulnerabilities and embarked on an ambitious and largely successful modernization effort.
