which is aided by diminishing American power and influence.
Russia wants fossil fuels to remain king
Russia doesn't want effective climate change regulations which impair its ability to market fossil fuels
Russia doesn't want a strong western alliance.

if Russia and the GOP want Bernie to win, then Bernie winning is bad for America and good for Russia, period, end of story.

If I were to vote in a presidential
