I’m not sure why we would object. As long as Russia is not spreading communism, and as long as they oppose terrorism, I’m okay with them in Syria, Afghanistan, and anywhere else.

At best, the neoconservatives and the newly anti-Russian liberals confuse me. The left has loved Russia for a century, and in the past few months they suddenly decided that Russia is bad? Real conservatives opposed Russia for as long as it was trying to spread communism, but what reason do we have for opposing the Russians now? Really though, I’m not confused. This is about power for those who stir up “Russia” news, not about the best interests of the United States.

So you put putin power and empire above US freedom, that of our allies and all other nations wanting to be free of his influence and the Russian empire he aspires to build? It’s odd how much goodwill he got from losing his career as a KGB Colonel with the collapse of communism and his embrace of Russian chauvinism.

The left has loved Russia for a century,...

The Left hasn't loved "Russia" for a century; the Left has loved Communism for a century.

I’m with you. I was a college student during the 80’s Nuclear Freeze movement. Liberals were practically giving Russia a daily Lewinsky at that time.

“As long as Russia is not spreading communism,...”

What do you think our ‘elected’ officials have been spreading across the lower 48 the past 15+ years - liberty?
