    Our era of close ties with Russia has been over for a damn hot minute. Trump thinks he’s friends with Putin, but Putin just wants to cripple the US.

      He’s so fucking stupid. I always like when reporters glaze on him before asking a question, since they know he’s so manipulateable to this kind of shit. Ofc they don’t mean any of what they say but he’s way too dumb to realize it.

      Regardless of motivations, if the US government is friendly with Russia’s, it’s a close relationship.

        I guess if you’re just looking at one side. To me a close relationship requires mutual commitment, like we used to have with Canada. Our appeasement of Russia isn’t closeness, it’s obsequiousness.
