It looked like the DNC crowd likes Bernie more than Hitlery !!
DNC chair won't speak at Dem convention following Wikileaks fallout

Which has absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump's admiration for the former head of the barbaric KGB and his and staff members ties to Russia.
Russia is an ally -
...Of Donald Trump.
Finished that for ya.
This is the simplest explanation of why Putin is so opposed to NATO
Putin's suspicion of NATO can be boiled down to one simple explanation: geography.
At the height of the Cold War and the Soviet Union's power, the USSR and its allied Warsaw Pact countries encompassed half of Europe and almost the entirety of Central Asia. But after the demise of the USSR in 1989, lands once within Moscow's orbit quickly peeled away to join NATO.
Today, only Belarus remains firmly within Moscow's influence, and even that partnership has teetered recently.
For Putin, the peeling away of countries from Russia towards NATO comes as both an existential threat and a personal insult. As a former agent in the KGB and an avowed nationalist, Putin has dreams of resurrecting the glories of Imperial Russia — a goal that is seriously hampered by the inclusion of what Putin would deem rightful Russian lands, such as the Baltics, into the NATO alliance.

You might recall (actually, you're just a Donald Trump cheerleader, so you probably don't recall) Donald Trump saying that he would "certainly look at" the US pulling out of NATO.

Tyrants of a feather flock together.
Yes, I recall. It's because NATO is outdated and other countries must pay their fair share - that's what Donald wants
Wait, should the US get out of NATO because it's supposedly "outdated", or should the US stay in and other countries pay their fair share? Your boy Donald, as seen in the article that I linked, changes his mind a lot on this subject too.
Too bad Donald Trump doesn't talk about getting out of the United Nations.
That's not an alliance. It's a protection racket. It won't work, and it would facilitate Russian aggression in Europe.
Actually no I am not wrong, Comey admitted as much, the only thing that is wrong here is she is not being held into account for her crimes. Hopefully ole Julian over at wikileaks may sink her ship yet. :thumb:

It turned out they found more unity than the GOP did at theirs. And Trump's press conference to steal the limelight (can't have the news not be all about him, you know) didn't do him any favors, with him encouraging Russian hackers. Just another example of what a loose cannon this guy is. His handlers must be pulling their hair out.

You know who I am? Interesting...
I've read a few of your posts. Was I wrong?

I don't hear myself called "open-minded" very often. But, ultimately, I didn't know what the point of your post was.
I stand corrected: Like Nick M., CatfishCrusader and rocketman, you appear to be yet another non-thinking Donald Trump lemming.
On that note: Are you at all concerned about Putin-Trump connections?

"Correct" is something I am starting to think you don't experience often.
I am #NeverTrump.
Shhhhh, the diehard Trump lemmings might hear you and come and rough you and your family up.
BTW: I missed your comments on the Putin-Trump connection. Does that concern you?

In the grand scheme of concerns I have about both candidates, it is pretty far down the list.
Don Trump's possible close ties with the former head of the KGB isn't important to you?

In the grand scheme of concerns I have about the two candidates, it is a low priority.
