I Find It Disturbing Nobody Ever Asks About Russia In These Debates
Russia, of course, being the rather large country near Asia and Europe that has a few thousand nukes and seems to like to play cyber-war on neighboring countries and kill off political opponents in not-too-subtle ways.

Nobody ever talks about it.

I wonder why that is?

I'd like to know their feelings on Putin and the type of leader he's become. I'd also like to know their feelings on Hugo Chavez and Venezuela.

I hope at some point a question on one of those countries gets asked.

1. So, you'd like to know if a potential "leader of the free world" has more indepth knowledge?

I agree. I think a question on Russia would be from so far out of the expected question realm, we might see some very real reactions.

Everybody knows they have to study the middle east. They probably know something about Chavez, but can they speak to the actions in Russia, Belarus, etc?

2. In Soviet Russia, debates find it disturbing that nobody ever asks about you!
