Feb 2020

And GOP is increasingly becoming more cozy with Russia, welcoming their interference. Could be "the enemy of my enemy..." kind of thing but...

Kleptocratic Russia - ruled by a handful of people looting their resources - wants democracy to fail. The interest of Russia and US seldom if ever align. Russia wants to break up Western alliances. Russia means us harm. Russia is still interfering with our elections. Russia wants America to fail.

A candidate advocating for the removal of Magnitsky Act or tariffs, or warming relations with Russia is working against the US. The cold war continues.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
