I believe too many folks here are way too naive about Russia. Its a very mixed bag, it still has many characteristic authoritarian elements like much of its history. Just because they are making nationalist-protectionist maneuvers in their own best interest, doesn't make it an analogue to the America we want to reclaim.

For sure, but it's very fun to point out to leftists that Putin understands American freedoms better than they do.
Oh, those freedoms may not be entirely intact in Russia but he is demonstrably acquainted with us.
