Why Russia? On this issue, McCain and Rubio are insane in their deep-seated hatred. An anti-Russia mission makes it almost impossible for Trump to accomplish anything in the US Senate. Besides that, the Godfather of the Global Elites Klingon-type Empire is George Soros, Russia's Enemy #1.
Pure speculation.
Russia is also a white country that is not an ally, which is unusual. Russia is often used as the villain in Hollywood movies too. Meanwhile, China continues it’s march towards confrontation with the world, unabated.
