Going back to the Revolution of 1917, through the Red Scare of the 20s, Ted Kennedy (D-Hell) asking them for help, etc.
Russia was idolized, adored, even beloved by the Left.
Now they're the devil.
So that tells me Putin is doing something right. We'll never be BFF with Russia and we don't need to be.
We have a sibling rivarly-type relationship with them.
Work together in our shared interests, but leave each other the Hell alone.
Projection at its worst. They are angry their commie cousins left them and went semi-capitalist and they are like a teenage girl scorned by a bad boyfriend. So they lash out on them and blame them on their on foibles, failures, and insecurities. Pathetic actually...
Great points, 3E.
Some things are topsy-turvy now:
1. Press, a constitutionally protected institution, is exposed as completely corrupt and is marginalized.
2. Political groups in the USA are making their own foreign alliances.
>>Dims: Iran, Cuba, China, EU, Saudi, Qatar, HAMAS, ISIS, Mex.
>>Trump R’s: Israel, Russia, BREXIT England, Japan (I think), India (Hindus hate Muslims too), possibly Turkey (O’Hillary behind coup attempt)
TBD: Germany, France, Spain, Italy
They’re the devil now because they’re a bunch of white Christian crackers — homophobic, etc.
Modern Russia might as well be Alabama as far as the left is concerned.
