Being against Russia and its global plans used to be the philosophy of the average American. Now we don't have a problem with Donald's lovefest with Vladimir. Russia is a third rate power that only has oil to give to the global economy. Putin is kissing up to Donald and Manafort because Russia doesn't have the capital to bring its resources to market. The US is the major source of investment $$$$
I'm missing how patriotism and fear of communism is a sign of being a "liberal".
