True. But that is an excuse for the Republicans to use now that they need it. The old Soviet Union changed back in the late 80s, but have the new Russians changed enough that the Republicans can use the excuse now?

I think it is pretty clear Putin is doing very Soviet like things under the name of Russia. In fact, until Trump came along, actually even before he was elected, there were many current Republicans that were still fine with thinking Russia was still our enemy.

Now they are too power hungry to get what they want for them to remember.

And that’s why “Russia is the enemy” no longer holds. Also, a lot of the current crop of Repug Congresscritters are Tea Partiers — know-nothings with ideology where they should keep their brains. What do they care about ancient history?
