        Most people fail to understand why the Republicans today simp for Putin. Remember, that the Cold War is over. It’s no longer the godless Russian communists versus god-fearing American capitalists. Putin presents himself as this macho-man who promotes conservative family-values and pays lip service to the Russian Orthodox Church. Authoritarians and conservatives-- including Republicans- like Putinist Russia precisely because of this.
