 Western neoliberal Russophobic racism is super creepy. They hate Russians so much they want to force your kids to go kill them.
They’re violent psychopaths who shouldn’t be allowed to run a minimart much less a whole country.
The last war they talked us into took 20 years, and the people they were supposedly fighting are still in charge, and they gave them 80 billion in weapons when they left. Talk about losers. I wouldn’t trust them to drive me in a cab to the airport. 
 part of a playbook imo 
 Just like their attacks on Trump have made Trump more popular than he would be otherwise, the constant, unprovoked attacks on Russia/Putin have made Putin (who I don't think is  a nice guy) seem like the only adult in the room.  Their attacks are propping up their opponents instead of tearing them down and instead of adjusting tactics, they keep doubling down.  Insanity!
