> Russia hysteria

Even beyond the domestic political implications of Russian involvement in our election, Russia is actively supporting groups that are likely shooting at Americans and our allies today (http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/05/17/evidence-russian-mil... or https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2017/04/24...).

Is it hysterical to care about these issues?

Yes, the media is only reporting through the lens that promotes only a single view point of our relationship with Russia.

Context is important, because the US and co. did the exact same thing when Soviet troops were in Afghanistan.

Context is indeed important, one could argue that the Soviets did the same in Korea, Vietnam, or any of the other major Cold War conflicts.

Indeed -- and all of these examples were driven by hysteria on both sides.

So you agree the US is in another Cold War with Russia then? Otherwise how is that relevant?
