After the USSR broke up we should have reached out our hands in friendship - - like we did with Germany and Japan after World War II. Big mistake on our part - Russia's one of the few countries in the world our technological equal...
We couldn’t just allow the evil empire to fall, as gentlemen should, we had to rush in and rub their noses in the filth and humiliate them. We were ungracious winners, an ugly trait :-/
December 1991 - Grabby Poppy [Daddy Bush] and Rapin Bill.
Wasn't happening with those two pieces of Deep State Mitt.
Plenty of looting going on, though.
I have to differ with you on this, GOPJ. The Soviet Union was not the least bit interested in friendship after WWII. And Stalin SURELY wasn’t interested.
They were interested in advancing Communism world wide, including to the USA, and were actively working on all fronts to do it both before WWII and after.
The only thing that put a dent in that was McCarthy, and that respite lasted only a decade or two at the most.
