He ran to China. Then he ran to Russia.
I'm not quite getting why everyone has their panties in a wad over Russia. I see the CCP as the threat, and accusations against Russia as a smoke screen pushed out by the "Progressives" to hide the nefarious dealing of the CCP. Personally, I expect resupply in the upcoming war to come from Russia. It sure as hell won't be coming from the CCP for our side, and you can bet it won't be coming from the US government, either. Too many deeply embedded "Progressives" there.
Basically, I'm just not quite getting why no one realizes that Russia is no longer the Soviet Union, or why they don't understand the difference in the two. It all started with Hillary getting her knickers in a twist over Russia, which I DO understand, since Russia no longer aligns with the communist ideals of the Progressives - but how in the hell did it spread to infect the rest of America?
For context, understand this comes from a guy who actually fought actual Soviets. I have the trophies to prove it. If I can learn to live with Russians, why can't America? Why are they still stuck in a Cold War that is no more? We won - folks need to get over it, or else the Marxists still hiding in the weeds will take us easily.
I never thought that the day would come when America resented a win... but then again, America's Mouthpieces seem to be all manner of put out over defeating the world's foremost communist nation in the Cold War. Now we still have the CCP to go, and Marxists in the bushes right here, and all I hear is "Russia, Russia, RUSSIA"!
It's almost as if someone wants us to take our eyes off the ball...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
