Why would Republicans be against Russia
Why - well for Starters - they attacked the basis of US democracy - the right to Free & Fair Elections
Yes, cyber warfare for years and something has to be done. But that is the world we live in. In commerce, we are "against" Russia and scads of other countries and they are "against" us.
Part of the cyber warfare is and has been an effort to divide us as a nation so as to weaken us. It seems strange that those actively and willingly participating in their efforts would be critical of others.
Russia has Russian Spies like Maria Butina in the USA recruiting GOP Members to be Russian Operatives
She arranged meetings. She is not Robert Hanssen nor his "handler". This is like the Russian lawyer/lobbyist the Obama State Department gave special entry permission all of a sudden became an operative of the KGB/GRU when she spoken to Trump associates.
Russia shot down a passenger jet killing hundreds of innocent people
As did we in '88.
Russia also invaded and took over part of a Sovereign Nation
And so we can never negotiate anything with then again?
Russia is currently invading other parts of that same nation along with other neighbors
Was anything done over the original invasion? At least Trump sent some military weapons.
Russia poisoned and killed a British Citizen - a Citizen of one of our Staunchest Allies
So we can never negotiate anything with them?
Russia has embarked on a mission to make the USA & it's allies - the Evil Empire
Really??? They stole our words - for shame.
The President of Russia was a KGB Commander in the Soviet Union
And????
Putin Solidifeid his power with a Genocidial War in Chechnya
And??
Putin murders his Politcal Opposition
And??
Putin eliminated the Russian Free Press with more murders
And??
Putin is a illigitimate President gained though a sham rigged election
And??
Putin has committed multiple War Crimes in Syria
Simply changing Names from the Soviet Union to Russia
Simply changing the name from KGB Commander to Russian President
None of those things - support a claim of that was then & this is now because nothing has changed
Enough!!! What do you want to do, consider them as non-existent or launch the missiles?

Only in the deeply disturbed, Fox-induced dreams of the Republicans has any of what you wrote happened. In the real world, its just a sack of lies.
The GOPerLords have LOVED Commies ever since they got their Congress to allow them to send American jobs to Commie slaves in Asia, and even provide subsidies for Corporations to make the move. The Commies provide the Americans with docile slaves who work for a pitence and are legally banned from even proposing Union Representation in the workplace. GOPerHeaven.
Democrats opposed the Commies because THEY ENSLAVED THE WORKERS, and that's why we STILL oppose the Commies and want to end the Republican subsidies to corporations who ship our good jobs AND out latest technology to the Commie Chinese because the Corporate Oligarchs will afirm that's how the profits go up.
All of which is TRUE and needs to be restated as often as possible to overcome the Fox-induced coma the Republicans want us to join their loyal base in.
None of which has anything to do with the FACT the GOP and NRA (aka NRAGOP) have BOTH served as willing dupes for a RUSSIAN SPY who helped both the NRA and the GOP spread hate and division among Americans and was instrumental in Der Trumper slithering into the White House on those heatwaves of hate.
The woman arranged meetings. Period. If you want to see slithering on heatwaves of heat - read you own post.
The Woman - Maria Butina - is a Russian Spy sent to the USA to Recruit Republicans to become wittingly or unwittingly Russian Agents - She was Groomed in Russia to understand what are the Two Most Universal Languages Republicans Understand - Guns & Money - she used this Language to successfully infiltrate the NRA and the GOP
Point of Order - She did not approach a Single Democrat
She is and was not a Meeting Planner......................she was here to recruit Republicans to be Russian Agents............................Period! - Full Stop
She successfully completed her mission having corrupted Multiple Americans and was arrested the day she was packing to return to Russia

Re: Why Look Russian Spy Maria's Friends all GOP
Anonymous Wikipedia users engaged in a lengthy campaign this year to alter and whitewash the online biographies of two people at the center of an alleged Russian plot to infiltrate prominent conservative groups in America.
Starting in early spring 2018, the users, one of which maintained an account on Wikipedia’s Russian-language site, made a series of edits to bios for Maria Butina, a Russian national accused of conspiracy and illegal foreign influence, and Paul Erickson, a Republican political activist whom Butina allegedly roped into her espionage campaign and with whom she allegedly traded sex for political access as a “necessary aspect of her activities.”
The edits sought to discredit reporting on the FBI investigation into one of Butina’s alleged co-conspirators, and to scrub details of Erickson’s and Butina’s business history. It also downplayed attempts by Erickson to arrange a meeting between Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, allegations of fraud against Erickson, and Butina’s ties to a Russian political figure instrumental in her efforts to ingratiate herself with prominent political groups including the National Rifle Association (NRA).
The identities of the people behind the Wikipedia editing campaign are not known. But other users on the site—including a veteran editor who says his mission is to “combat promotional editing”—publicly speculated that the accounts were part of a coordinated “sockpuppet” editing campaign. Sockpuppets are online identities created by a single person to covertly manipulate information.
Details gleaned through a review of Wikipedia’s edit logs link two of the accounts to the Washington D.C. university where Butina studied before she was arrested last week. The edits suggest that months before her life blew up, someone close to, or allied with, Butina knew what investigations into her and her associates might uncover and launched a clandestine campaign to expunge the record or at least downplay it.
The edit campaign began in March when an anonymous Wikipedia user made a series of five edits to Butina’s page. The edits included adding details of her biography and noting the Russian spelling of Right to Bear Arms (Право на оружие), the non-profit gun rights group she founded in 2011 to “improve weapons culture” and provide gun owners with access to free legal advice.
The account’s only identifying information was an IP address traced to web servers at American University, the school where Butina studied from mid-2016 through the spring of 2018, and which federal prosecutors say she used to obtain a U.S. student visa. In April, another Wikipedia account sprouted up and made four edits to Butina’s page. That account also used an IP address associated with AU.

Exactly. Russians got Trump into the White House and are writing policy for him from Moscow. Why would Republicans want to end that?
