So you don’t even remember the Cold War then?
As I just told Mears, my family is European and direct beneficaries of the Marshall Plan to this day.
And I have lived in Russia, and stayed in other former Soviet countries.
Its very clear who won. The Berlin Wall reality, the dividing line of the Marshall Plan still holds true. More people in the East wish they were in the West than vice versa.
And all the sensationalism about Muslim hordes touted by the Putin propaganda machine acts to cover up their own inner, post-Soviet existential insecurities. Russia has faced the most Islamic terrorism of anyone and has the largest Muslim population in Europe and growing.
