But again, much of the US is too stupid to understand that. They probably don't even realize that Russia is allies with Iran, China, and North Korea.

The cozy connection that Pendejo45 has with the leader of the cold war instigator, insults those of us that worked to defeat the Soviet Bloc and now Pendejo45 is about to let them recreate the USSR that Put-In wants.
I was in Berlin for 2.5 years, just after the wall went down.
I helped install equipment for the British and I was part of the handover to the Germans 2 years later.
This really p1$$e$ me off.

I read about the years leading up to Berlin Wall coming down (I wasn't born yet at the time), and reading the words, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down his wall! Now as an aside, his last name was actually Gorbachyov. In Russian, ё and e are two different letters. The former is put as yo while the latter is e, or ye if is at the beginning of the word, after a soft sign, or after a vowel. However, in practice, the distinction is often not shown. But I digress. In any case, you know, Reagan would be considered left to the MAGA bastards. Think about this: what did Putin and Heydar Aliyev (the father of Ilham Aliyev) of Azerbaijan have in common? They were KGB officers. Ironically, when Russia says that they are a bastion of traditional values, while they may be the case now in the Orthodox Church, at the time during the Soviet Union, they weren't, or at least not openly. So they are hypocritical and don't know their own history.

But again, to these MAGA voters, when it comes to Trump and Putin, they see no evil, hear no evil, or speak no evil, and even that expression has irony in itself. The original story of the three wise monkeys, which was based in Confucianism in Japan, says to avoid evil and be prudent about it. But yeah, they are hypocrites.

"How can this happen in the U.S.?"
Yeah, just like in 2016, you all turned a blind eye to an idiot, so you could make more bucks.

A cult of idiots.
As I always say "Idiocracy is a documentary".
