Paul Manafort , the chairman of Trump 's campaign , also advised former Ukranian president Viktor Yanukovych , who was aligned with Putin .

At this point , however , there is no evidence that anyone in the Trump campaign has a direct connection with the Kremlin , as Clinton 's spot insinuated . The Clinton campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment .

You ca n’t win with two white guys anymore . If he would have picked a woman , she would have been forced to defend him . ” Steve had carefully planned his political retreat conflict.yield.na , which became evident as he laid out his strategy for defeating the Clinton administration ’s anti - gun agenda : Retain control of the Senate at all costs . “ With a big set of balls , they could stop any Supreme Court nominee — as many as she gives 'em , because the Constitution does n’t say there needs to be nine justices , ” Steve said . “ The best thing that can happen in Washington is nothing , gridlock . ”

Rivers that are fed by the Himalayas get most of their run - off from the spring snowmelt . They also have many dams that ensure that water will be available during dry months . Italian Alps -Since the end of the Little Ice Age ( about 1850 ) , the hangingGlaciers and firn fields have retreated continuously . Swiss Alps - Abstract .

Remarkably , ISIS fighters might become trapped in just hours as government forces continue to advance . Just a small escape route , largely made up of desert sand , links ISIS troops with the ar - Raqqah motherland which represents the capital of the self - proclaimed caliphate . Therefore , fighters of the Islamic State must either retreat conflict.yield.retreat while time is due or face persistent airstrikes of the Russian Airforce as well as seasoned government troops . Currently , Tiger Forces ( an elite specialized SAA offensive branch ) are leading the efforts to recapture the road ; however , their soldiers are also backed by hundreds of troops from the Syrian Arab Army ’s 47th Regiment of the 11th Tank Division , the Republican Guard , the Liwaa Al - Quds Brigade , National Defence Forces and Al - Ba’ath Battalion . Earlier this month , the very same Tiger Forces unit captured more than a dozen villages from ISIS in eastern Aleppo and thus secured a steady supply route to Kuweiris Airbase .

Yet there is no doubt that she would take a very hard line toward Moscow . Among other things , Clinton recommended that the United States impose a no - fly zone in Syria despite the risk that it could mean shooting down Russian military aircraft that were operating at the request of the Syrian government . Anyone who is that reckless is not likely to retreat conflict.yield.na from confrontations in eastern Europe or other arenas . Indeed , she has already called for not only more financial assistance but more military aid to Ukraine . Even though Russia is now a weakened conventional power exhibiting little more than regional ambitions , rather than a malignantly expansionist totalitarian state with global ambitions , the bulk of the U.S. foreign policy establishment treats Moscow as though little has changed since the days of Leonid Brezhnev , if not Joseph Stalin .
