Observationally it's clear Russia is the boogeyman for the left while China is the boogeyman for the right. One leftie I know confidently proclaimed to me recently that the polarizing division in America right now can be primarily attributed to Russia. Were the Russian bot farms real? Probably. Has Russia hacked critical US infrastructure? Probably. I have no desire to be an apologist for Russia, but my sense is they are not nearly as much of a threat to the US as China is.

Russian people are great... but the Russian govt is not our friend. How much of an enemy they are, I'm not exactly sure.
Then of course they have been the dems favorite boogeyman scapegoat.
In the end, I think we would be better off if we could come to an understanding with them and get along.
