Are you suggesting the difference between Russia of today&USSR is nuanced?


Since the fall of the Evil Empire, we have had reasonably good relations with Russia. W Bush looked into Putin's eyes and saw a leader he could trust. Obama told the Russian ambassador to tell "Vlad" to wait until after the elections when he could be " more flexible" Obama , under the auspices of Hillary Clintons State Dept later okayed a deal essentially giving Russia control of US uranium. He also cow towed to Russia in Syria after drawing a red line.

All this, in addition to the Crimea and allowing Russian internet mischief happened under his watch. Relations with Russia are a lot worse now ...maybe the worst they've been since the fall of the USSR.
