These actions were followed by
                             President Obama’s infamous statements     PRIVATE PERSONAL TRAINING
                             during his 2012 re-election campaign,
                             where he was caught on a hot mic        IN PERSONAL TRAINING SUITES
                             saying that he would have “more
                             flexibility” to negotiate with Russia
                             after he won re-election. President      GET MOTIVATED...GET BALANCED
                             Medvedev responded that he would pass                  Let’s get together!
                             the message along to Vladimir Putin,
                             who at the time was the prime minister
                             of Russia, waiting to re-ascend to the
                             presidency.
           President Obama’s statements and actions have made any
        United States, NATO or Western European threats appear
        empty. This emboldened Putin to test the U.S. and Europe
        in 2014 by invading Ukraine and occupying the Crimean
        Peninsula. The Obama Administration reacted with feeble
        and unconvincing statements of condemnation, and imposed     PERSONAL TRAINING GETS RESULTS
        sanctions. Interestingly, after Russia has appeared to have hacked
                                                                       • Lose Weight

        can articulate a strategy based on protecting these strategic
        interests. First, the U.S. needs to make clear that we stand behind
        NATO and in unison with our allies in Europe. This could be        Health... Wellness... Success
        accomplished by following through on recent proposals to hold
        NATO exercises in the Baltic states and Poland, as well as by     At FT you will get experienced trainers and a Dr. of

        where there is alignment with Russian actions. While we do not
        agree with Russia’s support for the Bashar al-Assad regime in
        Syria, we are allied in seeking the extermination of ISIS.
           I am hopeful President Trump will be able to refocus our
        policy toward Russia to protect our vital interests and assure
        peace and stability in the region.
