Current political stage is more left vs right, progressive vs conservative, woke vs antiwoke. Russia is ally of conservatives, because their politics are far right conservative.

That's not quite right. Russia is not conservative in the American sense of the term, although they are far right in terms of authoritarian rule. They're an oligarchy. But their 10-year psy-op against American conservatives has been incredibly successful. They are up to their eyeballs in Russian conditioning and behavioral modification.
It's actually incredibly impressive. Turns out that Russia won the Cold War, and their greatest former adversaries (American conservatives) ended up being the United States' weakest link at the end of the game. Endlessly fascinating stuff.
They are ultra conservative in internal politics and in public opinion, which is of course controlled by their state controlled media.
Russia's internal policies are wet dreams of American conservatives.
Much of this situation is because of the Russian long running psyop campaign against American public opinion. Dividing nations is default Russian psyop playbook. They have been done that all over the world, and they are proud of it.

I think you're missing proletariat vs. bourgeoisie. The tarrifs are a direct attack from each capitalist nation on its working class. They do not net negatively hurt capital. On the contrary they allow a manufacturing of concent for further suffering the working class of each nation will endure while the capitalist class of each nation will further strengthen the nationalism of each country. And further concentrate wealth in fewer hands.
"America first", "Buy European", etc. These are all excuses to further worsen the material conditions of its people, build it's nationalism and xenophobia, and build concent for more war.
“But what about this money I’m getting?”
Becca is 100% correct.
Why won't Republicans do something?
… remind me why they’ve waited so long to say this? Ah yes, deep down they support this too.
She’s talking about Biden? That fucker was complacent long before his brain rotted away and he because the president.
Biden is not the current president. And despite his many other faults, Biden did definitely not support Russia.

Meanwhile USA dollar is top currency of the world due to business they did with Saudi Arabia 40-50 years ago. And Europe have not said anything bad for Saudi Arabia either.
