As with Bill Clinton's ChinaGate scandal, this is about more than just money. These SOBs seriously hate the country and want to do it harm. My increasing suspicion is that Russia may not truly be done with communism. The "reforms" there may simply be part of a sophisticated ploy. They are, after all, masters of the art of deception. If they were really done with communism and now deplore it as they claim, why do they continue to prop up and/or ally with so many far left or outright communist regimes? North Korea, ChiComs, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua...
And the liberals are still in complete denial. At their own risk. Their stupid goes to 11.
