[And curiously, Herr Hillary would have had us at war with Russia right now.]

Hillary was virtue-signaling over LGBTQ!@#$%. Democrats spent the entire Cold War and the aftermath sucking up to Russia. Note that we don’t hear about Democrats wanting to do a defense build-up. *Any* hawkishness coming from the Dems is complete BS. The thought of fighting Russians has Dems breaking out into cold sweat. Meanwhile, the Russians had no issues shooting down USN and USAF aircraft in Korea *and* Vietnam. Putin loves to talk tough, but he’s not going to nuke us even if we kick the bejesus* out of the Russian expeditionary force in Syria. Because unlike Muslim zealots, he’s a pagan unbeliever who believes that this life is all we get, and he doesn’t want his family and friends cremated where they stand.

* No real reason to do so unless the Russians come after our men. I’d guess Eastern Syria is about to become a nascent West Kurdistan, if the Syrian Kurds show they can eventually run a somewhat functional state.

you are so wrong. Democrats have adopted a very tough stance against Russians since 2017, they have successfully forced Trump government to provide lethal aid to Ukraine.

Since Russia dumped full communism, the American left has been upset with them.
Almost wholly antagonistic at times, others pining for the old glory days of “Uncle Joe”.
Brak and Hillary sold US uranium to Russia in exchange for a plethora of goodies in return, most of which are still unknown.
I think the plan was a basic “eat and run” where Hillary got immediate goodies and then hoped she could start a war and avoid any blowback.
Democrats love war, all while accusing others of being bellicose.
They also love making deals and stabbing people in the back over them.
Just pondering the possibility there.
