He’s a conservative judging from the books he’s published, and most normal conservatives are anti-communist and patriotic, making them naturally suspicious of the Kremlin which is still supporting communist movements and governments across the world.

They only fault Obama for one thing, not doing more for the Kiev putsch, sometimes even advocating US forces directly engaging the Russians.
