As a devout peacenik, I’ve always cringed at the “Russia is a hostile enemy” talk, despite the election tampering. T. Barrack nearly sounds reasonable here, until you consider the likelihood that he’s not interested in peace-making, but rather optimizing profits. https://t.co/cJOuolZtWq

The whole neo-cold-war take on this feels wholy ridiculous to me. Neither Trump nor Putin care at all about governing. Their "patriotism" is smoke and mirrors. The nation states they control are only tools used to accumulate wealth and power, not institutions that they serve.
