re: #125 Nyet

One of the reasons I’m suspicious of Bernie is the way he framed Putin’s regime as legitimate, “grownup” potential partner in Syria etc.

This misses the reality of this wholly corrupt, increasingly unstable, medieval and fascist right-wing gang whose capo should be given no quarter.

USSR has always been the Achilles’ heel of the Western ultra-left progressives, and I really hope Bernie is not about to fall into this old trap.

One example of Sanders’ poor understanding of foreign affairs. He’s one of those pols who has a laser-like focus on one aspect of public policy, and virtually no focus on anything else.
