      It’s not meant to be. It’s an inference that the Cold War anti-commie imperialist way of thinking never stopped. As much as we’d like to think that there is dynamic change with each new president, there really isn’t that much other than the surface diplomacy. The US has been conducting geopolitical business very much the same as it has been for multiple decades. That should be pretty obvious when you view our involvement in world events.

        So both sides do it.

        And therefore Clinton being friends with him is NBD.

        If this isn’t using “both sides” as a defense, it sure looks like it.
