Blame Bush. More particularly, blame Bush I. After the “Evil Empire” was brought to destruction by Reagan, the Pope and Walesa, Uncle Sam should have been right there, offering assistance, aid and political and economic treaties with the former soviet states AND Russia. We could have HAD them as allies against the degenerate western Europeans and Red CHinese.
But no, the Bushes demonstrated time again, that just like Clinton and Obama, there isn’t a dimes worth of difference between a RINO and Leftist Democrat.
The BUSHES betrayed the Reagan Revolution and Clinton and Obama just delivered the coup de grace.
We managed to wrest communism from them and bring it home...
