On Oct. 3, 2017, the McCain Institute hosted the next installment of its Debate and Decision Series, "Russia: Time to Contain?"
Under President Vladimir Putin, Russia has become an increasingly authoritarian regime that also flexes its muscles aggressively abroad, most notably in Ukraine and Syria. Indeed, Putin’s Russia has invaded neighboring states; imprisoned, poisoned or killed government opponents and critics; increasingly violated its own population’s human rights; and launched unprecedented interference into other countries’ elections and internal affairs. The challenges facing the Trump administration when it comes to dealing with Putin’s Russia are mounting. The debate centered around the question – what should the U.S. strategy be toward Russia?

MODERATING THE DEBATE
Elise Labott, CNN Correspondent
Среди множества обсуждавшихся (но, естественно, не решенных) вопросов наиболее фундаментальным, как мне кажется, является вопрос:
«Проблема заключается в путинском режиме? Или же проблема в самой России?»
Т.Грэм и М.Рожанский полагают, что проблема заключается в России, и потому с Путиным нужно взаимодействовать.
А Д.Крэмер и Э.Фаркас уверены, что проблема - в путинском режиме, и потому его нужно сдерживать.
