Russia transformed from a Communism to a Kleptocracy. It's essentially the ideal example of what white supremacists say they want in a country. The rich and powerful take all the treasure and are free to do whatever they want. Anyone who criticizes them can be thrown into a Siberian prison. The police are nakedly corrupt. There is no rule of law, no equal protection, just the pure distillation of might makes right.
When Republicans dream about the sort of country they want, that is what they dream of.
So weird to watch the GOP cheer on Russian expansionism . . . 
Weren't the Republicans the ones who pledged to "keep us safe from the Dirty Russkies?"
If by "keep us safe from the Dirty Russkies" the GOP meant "we shall perform endless fellatio for Putin's fascists,"
well, the GOP has certainly kept up their end of the deal.
