From the perspective of handling Putin Hillary seems to me to have the most correct assessment-- and she has the "balls"to handle Russia's ridiculous behaviour.
Already--she has stated her position.
I might add-- I also think she is most likely to win the Presidency.
Hillary Clinton’s hawkish position on Russia troubles both sides of aisleDemocratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton has pivoted left on domestic issues but stands out on foreign policy as more hawkish than some of her GOP rivals, even stoking fears that she’s ready to put the U.S. on a warpath with Russia.
Mrs. Clinton is poised to make her foreign policy experience as senator and secretary of state a central argument for her White House run. It’s a record that includes supporting military intervention in Iraq and Libya, positions that put her at odds with her party’s liberal base.
And since leaving the State Department in 2013, her harsh rhetoric about Russia raised eyebrows among hawks and doves alike.
At a California fundraiser last year, she reportedly compared Russian President Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler. At a meeting earlier this year with London Mayor Boris Johnson, he said she faulted European leaders for being “too wimpy” about challenging Mr. Putin.
Conservative commentator Paul Craig Roberts, an economist who served as assistant secretary of treasury under President Reagan, warned that Mrs. Clinton will have a difficulty backing down from a confrontation with Mr. Putin after calling him Hitler.
“When you go that far out on a limb, you really kind of have to go the rest of the way,” he said in an interview at Infowars.com. “I don’t’ think there is any candidate that we can end up with as president that would be more likely to go to war with Russia than Hillary.”
