      The geographical/historical ignorance contained in that tweet is also quite somethinghttps://twitter.com/CoreyRobin/status/888450325052628997 …

      I've agreed w/libs who don't see the Trump/Russia thing as Cold War redux. But why then do libs insist on seeing it...as Cold War redux? pic.twitter.com/wW5kCFtRAF

      It would bother me less if I didn't see the motivated reasoning behind it, that gives rise to it, that requires it.

      Root error is in not seeing Putin's Russia is a capitalist plutocracy, not ideological heir to USSR. But some on left make that mistake too

          Ironically, Russia became exactly the sort of capitalist, racist, gangster state the USSR always claimed the USA to be.

          The Soviets took more the monopoly capital view or finance capital intertwined w/ big industrial monopolies. Maoists took gangster line?

          Putin may have been swayed to cultivate Trump by old Soviet intelligence that US is a racist country pacified by bourgeois entertainment.

          I don't meet to sound stupid but... what if the Cold War was never about ideology?

          Uh, no, the root error is thinking it's suspect that someone would marry outside his country. A lot of xenophobes make that mistake, too.

          I meant root error in how Cold War frame is applied to Russia story, not just in this particular tweet.

          I agree with you here. Now imagine a Dem President married to person from a Muslim dominant country; every move would be accused of bias.

          Especially if every move actually reflected bias to home country of the spouse.
