I admit I really did not go thru the 2nd article. And they opposed Reagan who understood the Soviet danger, and Putin longs for a return to its power.
Absolutely true that the commie Dems embraced Russia during the Soviet Union era. My point is that, despite their smoke & mirrors tough talk on Russia today, they STILL are working with Russia to help them in their mission to basically restore that evil empire. Don't pay attention to their words, but rather to their *actions* during the Obama-Biden-Hillary years. As the old saying goes, "Action speaks louder than words". And in this case, MUCH louder. This was nothing more than an elaborate, highly sophisticated hoax, almost certainly concocted by the KGB/FSB Putin admin. His regime is loaded with former KGB and FSB people. They were/are masters of deception and disinformation.
