Well, we wanted good relations with Russia before the right wing, like about 70 years before]-lol. Do we get any credit for that, or are we just always wrong-lol? <<Is the right wing defending Putin and Russia now? Amazing, isn't it? Last election cycle, they were all pushing Russia as our greatest geopolitical rival. Now Russia wasn't then and still isn't, but that doesn't mean it can't be dangerous. And now they are Putin's biggest supporters. Because, you know, Putin and Obama don't get along. Under the simplistic reasoning that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Putin is number 1. It doesn't hurt that he wrestles bears and rides without a shirt. The jism explosion over Putin is sort of embarrassing, actually. Sort of like they went nuts over that photo of Cheney sitting down with shorts on and what looked to be his junk hanging out. Their screams of pleasure over the size was, well, disconcerting. But they aren't gay. Or so they claim. Just ignore that secret subscription to "Blue Boy"...

>> And now they are Putin's biggest supporters. That's an absurd claim. No one has made that suggestion. One of the problems of the Left is that you collectively lack the ability to discern nuance. Saying Putin is a strong leader is not the same as cozying up to Russia. Trump understands negotiation (unlike this fool you elected twice). You don't start out by bashing the other side. We do not know what kinds of terms we could develop with Putin if we had competent leadership in the United States.
