92. many republicans are ok with that

The issue is that increasing number of republicans, both politicians and voters, are getting on board with the idea that Russia may become our key ally.
As you remember, Trump famously said that USA is not so innocent. He is normalizig Russia's view as an acceptable alternative to the currently accepted neoliberal world order. He is correct that the US is not so innocent and I certainly understand how this argument can be used to forge a partnership with Russia against Islam and 'liberalism'. It's hard for us to claim that we are the norm to be followed after we carried out Vietnam war, Korean war, Iraq war, Libya, etc.

I think one of the issues here on DU is that many people were on board with Sanders' populist and somewhat isolationist views (trade). The whole situation has made me reconsider and reevaluate the importance of globalism and how it's been incredibly effective in preventing WWIII. Clinton always understood it. In Putin/Trump's world globalism=liberalism. It works for populists because it provides simple (deeply flawed) answers to very complex problems.
