“It’s because the filthy democrats have used them as a whipping boy and political weapon against Trump. Russia should be a natural ally but dem scum poisoned that well.”
And it seems almost dystopian having a little army of Zeepers running around here vociferously DEFENDING the Democrat policy towards Russia. It feels like being on DU. And just wait until these Democrat-defenders find out what happened at the Republican Convention. While I doubt they’ve been fed the results yet, the two BIG RESULTS is that Trump and Vance were nominated for the November Ticket, and that Trump is now in FULL CONTROL of the Republican Party (that one has to sting the most).
You have permanent US interests, and strategies, that were set in stone since 1945.
Until Vietnam these were common to both parties. The Democrats took advantage of the Vietnam debacle (which they caused) to oppose Republican administrations. That’s where all the pacifist-communist rhetoric came from.
It was a bipartisan consensus (Bush I and Clinton) that did the vast Defense drawdown of the 1990’s.
