Democrat Senator Feinstein coddles Putin and prioritizes buying votes over defending America

Putin loves Democrats because they don't give a darn about what he does unless it stands between them and power.

Obama let Putin run wild in return for Putin helping Obama get elected in 2012.

Now Senator Feinstein is working hard to ensure that the US military is weak compared to Putin's.

For years Russia and China have been developing hypersonic weapons.  They're very destabilizing since existing defense systems can't intercept them and they allow power projection at huge distances and lightening fast speeds.

With Russia and China deploying these long range super fast missiles the US military wants to make sure that it has equally capable systems.  If Russia or China think they have the advantage over the US that dramatically increases the chance of a war.

But that doesn't bother Feinstein who said, according to Aviation Week 2/24/2020 this about spending money developing hypersonic weapons:

"This unnecessary spending is likely to spark a new arms race with Russia and China. Simply put, these are not priorities on which we should spend taxpayer dollars--particularly at the expense of critical domestic programs--and I will do everything I can to block them."

The first thing to note is that apparently Feinstein is ok with China and Russia have more capable weapons systems than the US does.

The second thing is that how can the US start an arms race when the US doesn't have hypersonic weapons and the Russians and Chinese do?  Isn't it Russia and China who started any arms race?

The third thing is that Democrats keep telling us what a danger Putin is so why would any Democrat oppose the US achieving parity with newly developed Russian weapons?  Perhaps because Democrats know that Russia isn't a threat to their getting power, despite their lies about Russia influencing our elections, which is all that Democrats care about.

The fourth thing is that what Feinstein is saying is that she'd rather use taxpayer dollars to buy votes with Medicare for All or free college than use them to defend the United States.

Once again that makes sense since buying votes gives Democrats more power and they don't really think Russia or China are a threat; the only threat they care about is Trump.

This is one more example of why Putin loves Democrats and hates Trump.
