I think so too. Russia is certainly no worse than a lot of countries we deal with. And Russia has made overtures of peace and cooperation for decades now including overtures by Putin himself.

I would think Russia has done us less dirty work than either China or Mexico. And I cannot see our interest in Ukraine.

Why do so many on this board consider Russia a menace to all that is good and holy while the country immediately to our south is facilitating an actual invasion? I mean i get why the lefties do, but why do the people on this board?
Because too many people have their opinions established by the govt in grade school, and are incapable of updating their paradigms independently.
