Russia hatred is now being promoted by globalists. Since communism collapsed, Russia over the last twenty five years has been seeking the soul of its traditional culture, its religion and nationalist identity. Globalists abhor nationalism and especially do not want to have an American nationalist state and a Russian nationalist state. Actually capitalist, nationalistic, core Christian American and Russian nations would have far more in common than differences. Totally unacceptable to globalists who are doing all they can to rekindle American-Russian animosity.
You have nailed it.
Russia and US were on good terms before 1917.
VDH is a great historian and social commentator.
But he sucks as a political analyst.
This is little more than regurgitated Neocon spittle from NRO.
Russia has ALWAYS tried to influence US elections. Going back to the founding of the Soviet Union. They have even infiltrated high government office (Alger Hiss) in an effort to alter US action, and to spy.
There is nothing new to what Russia is doing. Nothing.
Yet what IS new is an administration using this known activity to justify spying on its political opponents, violating innumerable laws in the process.
And that spying is the only new thing here. Not a “resurgent, hostile” Russia.
Self serving Neo-liberal pap.
I thought he was smarter than that, I guess they told him they'd respect him in the morning.
I’m pretty confident that the Russians will look out for the Russians.
Nations that compete with the United States will try to influence our elections and policies.
The American President needs to work for the citizens of the United States.
The Clintons and Obama work for Soros.
There is actually a decent chance that the reason we have Smith and Wesson today is because of the Czar ordering 41,000 break top revolvers.
Agreed. Basically VDH story is that one day for reasons we never fully understood, Russia seized Crimea and moved into Syria. Not a word about us flipping them the finger in Libya and unleashing a Sunni insurgency in Syria to remove an ally of several decades. Next the McCain Neuland Soros nazi coup in Kiev designed to put NATO directly against their border and turn Sevastopol into a NATO navy base. Then the 2011 elections, Hillary HERSELF tried to get a color revolution going inside Russia.
Then we get the incessant whining of the EU about Russian oil and gas. The EU wants to own and run the Russian oil and Gas industry from wellhead to pipeline to end user. Ive never seen a customer so hell bent on dictating to a monopoly they buy from. (*and created by their own green policies)
Last, I think it is often underestimated how Obama’s homosexual past came into play here. The very first rumbling of discord between us and Russia came when president stompy foot bitterly opposed the ST Petersburg and Moscow anti-homo recruiting and parading laws. Obama and Hillary took that very personally.
thuggish Putin ... autocratic Russia.
VDH has yet to atone for his attacks on Trump, unless I missed something. Until he does, I’ll envision his opinions as if they were being read out loud by a clown.
The American President needs to work for the citizens of the United States.
Ever notice how they hate Russia and Trump’s vision of America equally? That is because those are the only two manifestations of the nation state out there.
The Globalists try to cast it as “America vs Russia”. Actually it’s occupied globalist occupied neocon version of America the Russians oppose. Globalists only love America when it serves globalism and leftism. It despises Trump and America looking after herself.
I agree with all of this, except that it omits the Seth Rich leak of emails as source of Hillary deception. Additionally, what are we doing about Hillary and Co.’s deception of America?

Bingo! It's also more likely the dossier was created to cover for spying on political opponents - Republican candidates - - than the other way around.
To have an Alinskyite counter to the traitorous acts involved in Uranium One,
To create an atmosphere conducive toward an astroturfed impeachment proceeding,
To bind the new administration's hands in fighting off claimed scandal,
To make Democrats seem a better alternative to Trump (even suggesting a "viable way" that H-> could "yet become" president), as they look toward mid-terms and 2020,
To hinder--if not financially destroy--administration underlings through expensive legal responses,
To create a heightened, successor-to-MK-Ultra-like environment for a Nikolas Cruz or Jared Loughner-type to go on one or more lethal, anti-Trump rampages.
“Next the McCain Neuland Soros nazi coup in Kiev designed to put NATO directly against their border and turn Sevastopol into a NATO navy base. Then the 2011 elections, Hillary HERSELF tried to get a color revolution going inside Russia.”
Our meddling in the Ukraine and in the 2011 Russian election is never mentioned in the MSM as an important precursor to Russia’s (clumsy) efforts to interfere in our elections.
It's not new. The only reason it "got this big" is that the public rejected the uniparty offerings for the presidency.
The outcome was by no means inevitable. Last winter Yeltsin's approval ratings were in the single digits. There are many reasons for his change in fortune, but a crucial one has remained a secret. For four months, a group of American political consultants clandestinely participated in guiding Yeltsin's campaign. Here is the inside story of how these advisers helped Yeltsin achieve the victory that will keep reform in Russia alive.
I understand that you were pointing to 2011 and later events. I'm just pointing out that the left is proud that the US meddles in the affairs of other countries, then is outraged over the 1st amendment.
. . . as witness the sale of Alaska to the US by Russia.Also the purchase by Americans of the bonds Russia sold to finance the Siberia Railroad.
