Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.

Most of us don't even hate Russia, just the authoritarian criminalistic regimes, and communism I guess, but I'm sure we would get over that like we did with China. Also a solid percentage of American Right wingers suddenly love Russia, for all of the wrong reasons.

Hate is just such a strong word when it comes to geopolitics, because one day your enemy could wind up your friend.

Although not that Tankies/Nazis are known for their thinking abilities.
