Surfer Republican Rohrabacher backs dialogue with Moscow in Congress
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, the long-time pro Russia voice on Capitol Hill, urges a calmer stance toward Russia and a focus on defeating Islamic extremism. He cites past encounters with Putin, including a pub arm wrestle, to argue policymakers misunderstand Moscow and should pursue engagement over confrontation. Critics say his stance benefits the Kremlin amid Magnitsky Act tensions and Russia's actions in Georgia, Crimea, and eastern Ukraine.
