My brother in law went to Moscow while Bush and Obama were President. Spent quite a lot of time there, as a point in fact. Nuclear engineer type. Had to do with cleanup and safety of nuclear plants and weapons material. As it turns out, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia is not our enemy. In fact, they've adapted a lot of our laws and market practices in an attempt to pull their very depleted population out of poverty and join the 21st century. They've implemented workers rights programs, legal codes that makes life valuable simply for being alive, rather than the monetary value of that life, and honestly are about as much of an enemy to the US as Canada. They want business contracts, not war. Meanwhile, China has been testing missiles by launching them at Russia, and simply blowing them up before they enter Russian air space.
Tell me, where did Russia touch you? Every single senator, representative, governor, sheriff, etc. in the US could go vacation in Moscow and there'd not be a single issue with it. We are not at war with Russia. And unless you provide solid evidence to Congress that they deem worthy of enacting wartime powers, all this "OMG RUSSIA!" bullshit is exactly that. The Soviet Union fell over 29 years ago. Get over it.
We're in a war with Russia at the moment(and china, i don't understand why under your logic the two are mutually exclusive). Except we're fighting it on all the wrong fronts. The fronts are being fought on Facebook, Reddit, 4chan, and forums like this and the United States is losing because idots like you think they understand the nature of warfare and economics yet are completely stuck in 20th century paradigms.
Google: Republicans who went to Moscow on July 4th 2019.
