Big difference between trying not to start WWIII and wanting at least some semblance of diplomatic relationship with the other superpower at the time and w/e "warmongering" dax is trying to purport "liberals" want today. No sane person between 1945-1991 would've thought it would've been acceptable to have said other superpower overtly and covertly help a particular candidate win an election as a good thing, same should be now. That's Eastern Block bullshit. Doesn't mean war needs to come down the rough ridin' pipeline, but it should mean we should be figuring out wtf they were helping out that one side in the first place.
Afterall, Obama and his sanctions as well as all the other sanctions post Crimea ripped Russia a new one, I can see why ol Puty would love to return the favor.
Also, funny how the most aggressive presidents to pursue more hostile direct takes to the ol Soviet Union JFK and Reagan realized pretty goddamn quick how stupid it was to be that adversarial. JFC dax
