Commenters say America 'loses the Cold War' as Republicans warm to Russia

Original: Dear Atlantic: this is almost the headline but not quite. The real headline here is: America loses the Cold War. Republi

Political commentary is arguing that the real story behind a recent Atlantic piece is that the Republican Party has shifted toward Russia, abandoning the anti-Soviet stance associated with Ronald Reagan. The writer argues Reagan, whom Republicans claim to idolise, would be turning in his grave at his party's current posture toward Moscow.

Why now: Ongoing debate over the Republican Party's stance on Russia and its break from Reagan-era foreign policy.
