Human rights abuses have NEVER been a red line for US cooperation with a foreign government.
Ask yourself who benefits from perpetuating this unique goal post for Russia to maintain McCarthy era paranoia?
- killjoywashere 9y ago> Human rights abuses have NEVER been a red line Yes they have been and are. See the Magnitsky Act (2012) and Jackson–Vanik amendment (1974) specifically.
