I agree. We have really gone off the deep end when it comes to the Left and Deep State. We are and should be opposed ot them.

The only difference that I do not understand is why you hold the Russians up as some paragon of virtue?

Putin is in fact a dictator, who rules over the Russians in an oppressive way.

He’s just as evil a tyrant as any the Russians have had.

The same Freedom we deserve from the Deep State is the same freedom the Russians deserve. Not Biden. Not Putin.

They’re not one OR the other—they’re the same.

Like I said, holding a mirror up to another mirror.

As far as your chart goes—now do Cuba or Venezuela or Iran...

Nonsense. I have never portrayed Putin as a paragon of virtue. He is a dictator, but we have dealt with dictators all over the world. Our strategic national interests should govern those relations, not emotions.

Why did Hillary and the Dems perpetrate the Russia hoax, which only worsened our bilateral relations? It became an obsession. Trump was called a Russian agent by the former head of the CIA.

We had a modus vivendi with Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. We worked cooperatively with them in many areas, including space. Russia was not a conventional military threat to Europe.

We are now back to the Cold War days and even worse. We declared economic war on Russia and implemented the harshest sanctions on them in our history excluding North Korea. We did it without thinking through the global consequences. Americans are bearing the pain of sanctions along with Europe. Over the sovereignty of Ukraine?
