    So excited to be watching The Americans, throwback to a simpler time when everyone considered Russia the enemy. Even the president.

        Russia wasn't the enemy. Communists, including traitors in our own country, were and are the problem.

        Anyone remember 6 months ago when most of these Russia-baiters were obsessed with identity politics instead? A simpler time!

        I was a child during that era & I remember very distinctly hating grown-ups for my having to live in fear every day of nukes.
