Parola Perspective : My dear lefty friends, clearly Russia is a threat to this country.

My dear lefty friends, because many of us grew up in the era of Cold War hysteria, (McCarthyism and a frightening arms race) we became apologists for Soviet actions as we urged our countrymen to see the world through their (the Soviet) point of view.

Because hindsight is 20/20, I think we can look back and see where we were right, in those beliefs, and where we were dead wrong.

As more information comes out about the Russian hacking of the election, and the more we face the REAL possibility that, essentially with GOP consent, (they have done nothing and are doing nothing about Russia and Trump) Putin put Trump in the White House, we lefties MUST come to terms with the REAL threat Russia poses.

Clearly, Russia is a threat to this country folks, and what's also clear is that no one on the right will think so, as long as Russia helps to keep them in power.
