Once you understand that Trump, Bannon, Flynn, and Putin see the world through racial lens their embrace of Russia and their rejection of China makes sense.

(2,297 posts)I would love to visit Russia, it seems to have a lot of unspoiled wilderness, China appears to have pollution. I would go for the food, but nothing else. China feels like they are leveraging everything that they have, while Russia is taking its sweet time. For 2 superpowers, they could not be more different.
