Lets Get Real:

So the Democrats will be tough on Russia, in what way, are they going to defend the Eastern part of the Ukraine from Russia action, thus far NOTHING.   Are they going to bring Moscow to a standstill with its own cyber attack, not a good idea, the Russian systems are OLD, one would think, one does not want to start WW3 by accident, you hack something innocent, and it turns out to be the Russian nuclear codes, one never knows with the Russian bear. The readout states that Biden wants to extend the New Start Treaty, that benefits Russia and China, In other words Biden wants to return the Obama Era, when next is the appeasing of Iran, just a matter of time, tough words on the campaign trail are one thing, when in OFFICE, reality hits in.  Trump bent over backwards to PLEASE Putin, thus no difference from Biden.
