Not a bad answer at all.Eh...because communism?
I honestly don't know why we have to have such poor relations with Russia. We have better relations with plenty of other countries that have worse human rights records and such. The only thing I can really think of is to fight over resources, but then we'd have to include China in that. But, once you factor in the resources spent fighting for resources, I'm not sure what you're netting.
Oh! I know...we have to have a boggie man so we can keep our defense industry going. It's one of the few things we actually still make and export on a large scale in our country. Would be hell on our economy for that to take a hit.
I would love an explanation as to why I should support any politician that instigates hostilities toward Russia.
If you don't see it, your eyes are closed.I see no one instigating hostilities toward Russia, now as for Russia instigating hostilities towards others that is a proven act on their part.

Err....wha....?
Are you by chance unaware that the U.S. has cobbled together a coalition to enforce sanctions on Russia? I consider sanctions an act of war. This is not the only example but just the most obvious and undeniable one.
So show us who is doing what you claim, ..................If you don't see it, your eyes are closed.

You mean in retaliation for invading and undermining other nations, oh my, we are just terrible I feel so bad, NOT!

Because the other nations have totally not done that in Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, Syria...
Putin has said the US Sanctions isn't affecting them at all.
Bwahahahaha! Russian Imperialism? Are you aware of how many US military bases there are across the world? The answer is over 650 bases in nearly 40 countries. Imperialism? Look in the mirror.That and the whole Russian Imperialism that we fought for decades and is now rearing it ugly head again... How many nations do we allow Russia to take over using military force before something needs to be done about it??? We sat on our hands the last time Russia (USSR) did this and watched while they drove the whole of E. Europe into a hole that it's still digging out of.
But we are talking about Russia and their actions. Nice try though.

Ummm...just how is Russian Imperialism rearing it's ugly head again? I don't see it happening.
You could make a strong case that the Ukrainain insurgency and the Syrian Expedition are Putin flexing.
Because Putin's ex KGB and in his mind the Cold War is still going strong?
Well, Ukraine is on the border of Russia and there was western involvement in an illegal overthrow of their government. We continue to try and back anti-Russian governments and try to grow NATO, which is an anti-Russia coalition. Additionally, Crimea was never really Ukrainian and, that aside, is Russia's only warm water navy port. There are many reasons why Russia has a legitimate vested interest in being involved there.
Syria is, and has been for a long time, a Russian ally and the U.S. is going after them. If anything, Russia has been very moderate in their response.
The U.S. never stopped the Cold War and the current admin is merely trying to get it going at levels like the old days.
