Part of me thinks of Russia as a better long-term ally than Germany, France, etc. There are troubling things about Russia, but there are also troubling things about the Western European countries.
Staring into my not-so-crystal ball, I think if Russia is taken out of the equation, Turkey will be the next one we’ll have to deal with.
Erdogan will have the support of the Muslims across Europe as he rebuilds The Ottoman Empire, Putin is in his way, but he’s positioning himself, with the help of NATO, to eventually reap the benefit, should Russia ultimately fail here.
Communism shackles the soul.
The people need FREEDOM.
You forgot the satire tag. Or you have lost your mind. Or some Russian hacker took over your account.
