[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oooooh, those scary Russians.  Said angry white men circa 1980.  Says the angry pantsuit nation now.[/quote]

No, you're not so scary. But the problem is our President-elect and his crowd are Putin fan-boys/girls and they seem to be borrowing their ideas and rhetoric from him. That's disturbing because I want an American-style President, not a demagogic strongman. Garry Kasparov's column from July is worth reading again: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/donald-trump-reminds-me-of-vladimir-putin--and-that-is-terrifying/2016/07/23/36397692-50e5-11e6-a7d8-13d06b37f256_story.html?utm_term=.9aa88793d16b[/quote]

Yeah, that piece perfectly describes the moment and reasons my unease with Trump set in.

It is painful to admit, but Putin was elected in a relatively fair election in 2000. He steadily dismantled Russia’s fragile democracy and succeeded in turning Russians against each other and against the world. It turns out you can go quite far in a democracy by convincing a majority that they are threatened by a minority, and that only you can protect them.[/i]

What makes me nervous about the connection with Russia is not what Trump wants to with it, it's what Putin wants to do.[/quote]
