A warm Russia gives him/them enormous benefits

It may have started with mutual interests, but I suspect he's been playing the long game on this for at least 10 years, probably more. He fed their egos as bait, while pulling in the line slowly but surely. This is KGB shit - Russia always tends to think longer term, especially compared to the US (not as much as China though). I'm sure you are correct with the creating ways to blackmail them, but they were always pretty easy to corrupt, moreso than most Democrats.

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