‘who additionally chose to declare Russia a “state sponsor of terrorism”’
Well, duh, Russia has been the largest state sponsor of terrorism for many, many decades. Just about every terror group on the planet can be connected back to Russia. Russia opened a university specifically to train terrorists from around the world, Russian embassies were basically terrorist safehouses and bombs and weapons were smuggled for them in Russian diplomatic pouches. And that didn’t all magically end when the Cold War ended either.
We just refrained from making a big stink about this openly, for diplomatic reasons, but it is certainly true.
Where did you learn this?
Our very own CIA has been sponsoring terrorists all over the world for at least 50 years.
Maybe it is a superpower thing.
No, they are all connected back to the Soviet Union... Russia hasn’t been sponsoring terrorists. They beat back our ISIS rebels, they warned us about the Boston Bombers, and they fought a very hard war against Chechyn separatists.
Soviet Union was bad, Russia has been a decent nation. Building churches and opposing terrorism.
