    The Russian view of Russia-gate*

    The Russian view of Russia-gate

    The Russians are amused at the hard left's meltdown. Read what some key Russians have to say about it at the link.

    When Russian officials and analysts here talk about the U.S. investigation of their alleged hacking of the 2016 campaign, two themes predominate: They’re flattered that their country is seen as such a powerful threat, and they’re amazed that the United States is so preoccupied with the scandal.
    For the Kremlin version, here’s how Sergey Karaganov, the head of Russia’s Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, describes his reaction to the investigation: “It’s a mixture of disgust and sympathy. Disgust because 99 percent of that is lies or a concoction, maybe 100 percent. As for sympathy, it’s a desperate picture when a great democracy is killing itself, committing collective suicide.”
    And a deadly serious point had Hillary won:

    Trump’s chief virtue for the Kremlin is that he turned back Clinton, who embodied the aggressive, pro-democracy, interventionist policies that Russia viewed as a mortal threat. “We saw them as absolutely 100 percent dangerous,” Karaganov said. “My advice to the government if she wins was: Put your nuclear forces on alert, so they would know.”

    They've got a point. BTW, hasn't almost evrry super rich society in history fallen? Maybe things get too good to stay on top? I was suprised I didn't see the Russians saying " America does this to other countries, how is it that they feel immune?"

    Nations rise and fall. It is a natural cycle.

    Well of course they say things like that. 1st, Putin pays their salaries. 2nd he kills people who don't say the things he wants to hear.

    Undisbuted, but what role does too soft and easy a life play in the process?

    Putin didn't say that. A Russian with a think tank did.

    The far right this week:
    "Russia would never do that."
