It has come to this: we have a young spook who betrayed his oath of secrecy and the former head of the KGB and current leader of our former Cold War foe, and it turns out they're acting more in the interest of the American people than the disgusting ruling-class tools in both Republican and Democrat parties and the lickspittle media, all of whom are circling the wagons to protect their own interests. What the hell, Johnny?

All favorable trends for Russia.
