I agree.
I have considered Nixon a RINO [before the acronym existed] since he functionally betrayed our ally Taiwan to the Red Chinese. I oppose the One China Policy as treacherous appeasement to a dangerous opponent (who is taking over our economy and destroying our trade).
On the other hand, I think a reasonable commonality can be reached with Russia.
I feel that the only true communists left are in Europe and in America. The Chinese and the Russians are no longer communist anymore. What they are now is a throwback to the 19 century of strongman and oligarchy rule. Countries like that can be dealt with at a national level level and their ideology isn’t too be feared nearly as much.
Maybe that’s why the far-left in United States hates Russia so much, they’re no longer true believers and are turning towards traditional Christian values.
