Political irony?

This movie begins with a democratic senator calling Russia out while a republican senator says not to worry about Russia. At the same time of the movie's, release a democratic president was publicly ridiculing a republican nominee for saying that Russia was a geopolitical foe. Kinda funny how that worked out.

Me, too! I kept thinking, "They must've gotten the (D) and the (R) backwards."
