“We expect a massive toughening of the stance towards Russia,” a high-ranking western diplomat in Washington told the FT. “There is a hatred for Russia amongst [Biden’s team] that is really amazing. It’s not just rational; it’s also very emotional.”

Russia is too anti-communist, too Christian - and too supportive of heterosexual parenting - for the dark forces surrounding Biden.

I think you're right.

What appears to be irrational hated makes sense within the Biden circle... but doesn't make sense to the rest of us.

I’m not sure if the Armenia-Azeris deal has any future benefit for Putin. So if he is leaving office, he may be looking at what matters in his last days alive.

“I doubt it. Dems hate war.”

Remember WWI? Wilson got us into that after promising the people that he would not.

Remember WWII? FDR got us into that after promising the people that he would not.

Remember Korea? Truman

Remember Vietnam? JFK

Those were all Democrats. Ball’s back in your court.

WWI was a matter of deciding whether we wanted to become a German state. Ditto for WWII. Korea and Vietnam were a matter of holding back Soviet advances, and of deferring to public angst at the spread of communism across the globe. No particular Democratic love for any of these wars, which got in the way of Democratic initiatives. And the latter set they underfunded and micromanaged, to their own political detriment.

Da comrade Puntist Rintintin, pushing the Communist Russian Putin FSB/KBG propaganda line of Russia is da savior of the west.

Communist Russia of the Czarist Neo Soviet Union still pushes every evil immoral perversion known to humanity they have their hooks in on the far left from the Eco terrorist, to the LGBTQ, human abortion/planned parenthood you name it.
They also fully arm and back Communist Red China, Iran, North Korea, Islamic fascist jihadists both Sunni and Shi’ite alike; Venezuela, Cuba along with other South American socialist regimes they own the entire whole Democrat party and the Biden administration but da comrade Rintintin would have you believe and think otherwise.

Schiff, possibly Nadler, and other Democrat leaders of House committees are quietly pro-Russia as a counterweight to Biden’s pro-Red Chinese clique of politicians.

Schiff is the most perfect Soviet/Russian dupe I’ve seen in decades. More than the deliberate sell-out Ted Kennedy (but not as smart), Kerry, Hillary and Susan Rice/Ben Rhodes, etc.

So is Schiff’s buttboy Rep. Swallowsell (D-CA). The man oozes stupidity and treason.

The House pro-Red Chinese Democrats include Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA), a former leader of the maoist Communist Workers Party (CWP), Rep. Grace Meng (D-CA?), Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), and Maxine Waters ( D-CA, the psycho from Oakland).

Sane people in Congress know that both Red Chinese and then Russia are our most dangerous enemies until Iran gets a nuclear bomb under “Bomber Biden and Commie Harris”.

Yeah, right. From the people who told Putin, “I’ll have more flexibility after the election.” It’s like telling a car salesman, “I’ll be able to pay more after payday”.

Russia is a failed state. They have a single aircraft carrier, and it's diesel, and it caught fire last year.

China is our #1 threat. They are also our #2 and #3 threats. And Biden is in their pocket. Pray.

I don’t believe this either, if he does the truth about the 3.5 million payout, by the wife of a mayor, will be exposed for sure.

Biden and his ‘squad’, have absolutely no clue when it comes
to international relations.

Think clueless Obama x 5.

Some of you guys are obviously old and unable to shake the Cold War mindset.

And you simply don’t understand the emotional hatred that Democrats of my generation (millennial) and younger have for Russia. It’s very real.

Russia is helping the Islamic Republic of Iran in getting advanced nuclear weaponry.
All of Iran’s nuclear facilities, are Russian they’re missiles, are all Russian with the help of the DPRK North Korea who are the middlemen in helping Islamist Iran
Red China also helps the Russians, want an nuclear armed Iran as a proxy surrogate for regional power that leads to global.
Same reason they want North Korea too
along with Venezuela,Cuba, Islamic fascist terrorists,and are also in a formal/informal alliance together with Communist Red China for power and dominance world wide global governance.

FR has come to the realization that this whole Democrat VS VS Republican on this issue is kaubki subversion in making sure that Russian expansionism moves forward.

Same with China too and Iran North Korea Cuba Venezuela Islamic fascist terrorists

They’re all in it together as one

Do they hate Russia enough to want to continue Trump’s arms buildup? To accelerate spending on ballistic missile defense? To not continue abiding by the arms control treaties that Trump tore up because the Russians were flouting them left and right? Because if they overturn Trump’s policies in these areas, it’s a limp-wristed kind of hate - the kind of emotion one cheerleader has for another who’s more popular. They don’t hate Russia enough to actually hold back Russian territorial advances.

Folks should know that Biden is gung ho to bring Ukraine and Georgia into NATO.

I can’t imagine getting any further away from US interests.

It’s like they want to destroy the US...hell, the world itself.

I'd bet more than half your generation couldn't find Russia on a map. Not joking.

And the irony is, the previous generations of Dems (before the wall came down) had an inexplicable emotional love for Russia.
