I mean off the top of my head, and I'm missing stuff. But in the last 7 years Russia directly has

Cut Georgia in half, twice
Invaded and occupied Ossetia
Invaded and annexed the Crimea and royally hosed up the rest of the Ukraine
Bullied former Eastern Bloc states into extremely favorable "trade" deals
Provided war material and russian soldiers to support Assad
Murdered a civilian in Washington D.C
Murdered a civilian in London
Shot down a passenger plane
Literally dozens of reporters have ended up "missing"
Reopened hard labor camps
Opposition leaders have a habit of getting in the way of drive bys with fully automatic weapons


This stuff is bad

As the worlds largest superpower. Its directly in our national interest that Russia does not prey on their neighbors. Neighbors we have favorable trade deals with and rely upon for stability. Stability in the world economy is how We, and a large part of the world, make money. Theres also the potential for Russia eventually becoming a world power again instead of a regional power. Something that is again, directly opposed to our national interest.

The Cold War was cooler and more interesting than everything afterwards. Having two superpowers vying for the wealth and resources of the world is way better than a massive globalist cabal siphoning the wealth and resources of the world with little to no resistance.

That's what will happen with any candidate. Trump won't "melt" his values 'cause he doesn't have any to melt. Sanders, I want to believe, knows that the office has become corrupt and will make do on his efforts to clear it of such. It's the only shot our process has. This election's basically proved it's an utter farce; it either changes now, or we fall apart.

Bernie Sanders is an establishment politician who supports endless war in the Middle East so that Vermont defense contractors make money.

Jesus loving Christ you god drat morons, do your research, Bernie is just as guilty of this poo poo as Hillary, he just happens to be small time. Trump is the only candidate that isn't literally already a war criminal (although I don't deny that he will probably become one if elected).

meanwhile bernie is still refusing to devote any of his massive campaign funds to downticket races to help swing purple states or contentious districts swing in his direction.

when he keeps saying "political revolution" i assumed that meant he was going to be the vanguard of the proletariat.

he will declare capitalism to be a state of emergency and use whatever powers the president has accumulated over WW1/2/cold war to end it. i bet its a lot of powers
