I have an indifferent/neutral opinion on them. But they aren't actively waging economic and psychological warfare on America the way the ChiComs have.

Why am I supposed to hate Russia? And why should I give a shite about what they do with Ukraine?

I don't know. I've always supposed that the same money that bought America and most of Europe's political elite find Russia to be too nationalistic for their taste, which is ironically funny.

You need to think this through. I guess it is OK for a country like Russia to get an itch and then scratch it by invading a few countries. They just need a larger safety buffer I guess, right? Estonia and Poland and Slovokia next. That's all. It was their's after WW2 anyway.

Hatred and fear of Russia is a great way to justify increased governmental spending and power

Because Putin has named and opposed the cabal behind international Bolshevism/Globalism. They should know better than anyone

1.The left and neocons are in bed with China.

2. I don't think Putin plays ball like Medvedev did. Much like Trump, I don't think Putin was supposed to win.



I found info in Wikileaks about Obama feeling insecure around Putin and Biden "offering" the Presidency to Medvedev. I posted it last year before the election, but it got lost when they closed down that board. I'll have to go back and find it again and post it.

Because Russia wants the Ukraine back and this is the country that the Deep State has all its dark secrets in!

Russia takes over and exposes them for who they really are...

Russia is a convenient bogeyman the deep state (Republican and Democrat) uses as a tool of fear on the American people. It is a useful fearmongering tool. Russians have essentially replaced Muslims as a justification for the government to spy on American citizens and wield powerfully invasive mechanisms to maintain control of the populace. It’s unacceptable to criticize Islamists but perfectly acceptable to go after Russians.

Also, American business interests (and the political bribery and kickbacks that go along with it) are much more focused on making money (for themselves, not you) in China than Russia. Both the left (Clinton) and the right (Bush) worked diligently to get WTO membership in China because of corporate influence within both the Democrat and Republican parties.

I've never liked or trusted the Russians, but it's because I'm a cold war kid.

Be careful buddying up with those people. They're as slippery as the Chinese. Don't forget how close they were to wiping us off the map, kids.

Russia competes in the international weapons market.

One theory says that the neoconservatives are so beholden to the MIC that they hate Russia because of that competition without knowing that’s what’s driving the hate.

Probably because the Russians know most of the corrupt American politicians and have evidence of their crimes

The same reason a lot of nonleftists hate China. Propaganda, propaganda, propaganda.

As long as we focus our hate towards those foreign countries.. we don't focus on what's happening in America.

They even convoluted the hate they incite... by having one political side hate one country, and another political side hate a different country. Motherfrickers didn't even merge the propaganda to unify the populace against just one make believe enemy. They have both political sides fighting amongst themselves about which country should be hated.

Was Obama correct? "The 1980s Are Calling, They Want Their Foreign Policy Back."

You're not. Hating s whole country seems silly

Me personally I'm suspicious anytime those Europeans start invsding each other.

Reality is that Russia and china are both players. They aren't controlled or beholden to American interests. We as Americans don't like anyone not beholden to our interest

The left hates Russia because it is the prime example of how Communism/socialism has failed.
