I'm not american, but I do business with them. If the state says they have an embargo with Iran and Venezuela, I cut ties with those countries and not import stuff or work with people from those countries.
If the govmt says Russia is not a threat, then Russia is not a threat as far as I'm concerned. I will always hold the official line (barring extreme circumstances).
But I will not compromise trade relations with the US by taking any line different than the incumbent state. Not even if an eminence like krebs does. In the end he is a guy not in the military hierarchy, without official information, posting about national defense matters on social media for foreigners to see. And even if it is backed by similarly biased commenters on a forum ran by a dem aligned state. Who should I trust ad an outsider? It's an easy choice for me. I do try to stay away from your politics, but sometimes you gotta make a call.
Do with that as you will. I get that as a citizen you have more freedom to question your govmt, and I have to tread a fine line between not getting into the politics of a foreign country in public and doing it out of nature. But in my defense, you guys sure like getting into the politics of other states.
But man, let's hope I'm right, no? like it or not, neither of us have control over the line taken by your militaries.
Going on a limb here, but are republicans concerned about Russia atm? If this is a bipartisan matter I'd be more inclined to be weary. Otherwise it might be dems conflating internal political enemies for external nation enemies. Happens around elections, hopefully it stabilizes.
I personally would be much more concerned about the 5m visa things if I were you guys. I thought reps were anti inmigration! I guess it's ok when it's extracting the elite and wealthy from other countries.
P.s: will probably delet this later. Robots.txt deny
