As much responsibility for Trump's election that Putin has, there are 33 people who have more. That group is Roger Goodell and the 32 NFL owners. Had they allowed Trump to buy the Bills, it's very, very unlikely he would have run for POTUS.
mean, let me make the point you made before. One reason this situation is so dangerous, Aaron, so dangerous, is that in the ’70s and ’80s, and I participated at a junior or younger level, the debate over Cold War or detente in the United States, that the pro-detente people, the anti-Cold War people had lots of very senior allies many in Congress. Even in the State Department. Even among presidential aides. It was always a fair fight.
There is no one today. Only the Schumers and the Pelosis. And they have become with this Russia gate stuff, claiming that Putin attacked America and it was like Pearl Harbor or 9/11. I mean I never call people names, but this is warmongering. That’s exactly what it is. If you claim Russia attacked America, the assumption is we have to attack Russia. And we’re talking about nuclear war potentially. So what kind of political leadership is, we have descended into a morass of degraded commentary on Russia that has never even when the Soviet Union existed, even during the worst days of the Cold War, we didn’t have this kind of discourse.
Sobering piece on where this Russian hysteria is leading

More opinion pieces from the right please
This passage you quoted is so dumb. So so dumb.
back then, the left and the liberals, there were liberals back then, wanted accommodation with the Soviet Union, which had threatened to bury us, wanted to destroy western freedom and the free market economy, and take over the world, but so what? the left and the libs said, let's accommodate
now, the lubes hear Russia mentioned and they go all apoplectic and hysterical, go figure, the lube fools haven't a clue
Stephen Cohen - Professor of Russian Studies at Princeton and NYU's takes on Russian relations = Dumb
Newenglanddeac's take = ????
I know you are trolling but any hysteria is only coming from you, Cohen and other rubes who believe that investigating and pushing back on a foreign adversary (who fucked with our right to vote) will inevitably lead to nuclear holocaust.
