“I’m sure you’re old enough to remember the Kremlin and Democrats accusing Reagan of same. Was he a “neocon”, too?”
I don’t remember Reagan starting a hot war in on Russia’s border, and then sending Ukraine front-line weapons there.
But that was a long time ago, so maybe I’m forgetting things about Reagan.
“I don’t remember Reagan starting a hot war in on Russia’s border, and then sending Ukraine front-line weapons there.”
Neither do I. But I do remember the USSR (really, Russia, because Moscow called all the shots) starting a hot war on its border in 1979 (Afghanistan); Russia starting a hot war on its border in 1993 (Chechnya) and again in 1996 (Chechnya); Russia starting a hot war on its border in 2008 (Georgia); Russia starting a hot war on its border in 2014 (Ukraine); Russia starting a hot war on its border in 2022 (Ukraine).
What I find interesting is that the Barbara Streisand’s of the world were scared that Reagan would start a war. They were scared again when GW invaded Iraq. So why with all their anti-war creds are they wanting a war with Russia now?
