    So many of these Trump fans were alive during the cold War yet actually do somehow think Russia is doing things right currently despite their current practices being the antithesis of traditional American values that the GOP claims to hold so dear. It’s mezmorizing.

      The cold war was against communism; modern Russia is super capitalist and corrupt, which is what the right wing wants

        Modern russia and old russia isnt much different… only real difference is they are more open to global trade… (that and their empire fell apart)

        Communism was just the boogeyman for the miltary complex to have an excuse to an overbloated miltary spending and for capitlists to wittle away worker rights.

      It’s Russia’s psy-ops being extremely fucking good at their job. I’m just glad they’re nowhere near as good at real war.
