I know I bicker a lot here too. But honestly, I shouldn't.

We shouldn't.

Look at how we view our own countrymen as enemies. Don't you think it's disturbing that we can't look past our own neighbor and see a possible outside force that's fueling our resentment for one another?

If it ever goes down with a foreign country like Russia, would you be willing to drop your differences with someone despite if they sport red or blue?

I concur... it's not good - but I am guilty.

If that's the standard then we should shut up because there is always somebody out there.

The same amount of people who approve Benefits to Russia...including our current POTUS and much of his admin and many of his billionaire buddies (Russian or otherwise...tied in with Russia)...

Trump wants them to benefit - since they are both his financiers and helped get him into office.

Only some slight balls from our Congress is keeping a tiny bit of the lid on (sanctions)....but, meanwhile, Russian money (stolen from their people, laundered, etc.) is buying large chunks of the USA and UK, etc.

Capitalism is grand. You can buy anything with it, even a country.

Pretty much any country that doesn't like the states or Europe.

Evidently the OPs post went so far over your head, you did EXACTLY what they were stating should not be done.....

Having a country with a diverse set of opinions does NOT help Russia in any way.

Then, let's get back to the text of the US Constitution and be done with it.
