How was the slop? Pick up that laughable take from one of your media masters while rooting around in the NYTs scraps in the trough?
Oh yeah, ever heard of a dictionary? Look up the word “period”. Which media boob told you Reagan retired and Bush destroyed the Warsaw Pact? Keep struttin’ it, baby.

Stop with the hyperventilating about “...the threat of imminent nuclear war.” No one is going to launch nukes over Ukraine. It’s called MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) for a reason: Only a madman would ever consider starting a nuclear war against another nuclear power. If Putin ordered such a strike, he’d be ignored and removed; ditto with Biden.
Hush, little one.
Proof we have had bad leadership from way back. The western leaders for the last 40 years have consistently lied to the Russians and acted in bad faith.
If we had a government not in the pocket of the Deep State and the Military Industrial Complex we could have had the Russians as allies and friends.
If you bothered to read history you would know

A man is only as good as his word.
“Proof we have had bad leadership from way back. The western leaders for the last 40 years have consistently lied to the Russians and acted in bad faith.”
Oh, and the Russians have been honorable and trustworthy?
Do you know what Otto von Bismarck said about the Russians? He said, “I don’t trust the Russians because the Russians don’t trust themselves.”
Your link is to Bush administration activities.
Heck, I would have told them anything to rid world of the Soviet threat. The Soviets would have never gone quietly onto the ash heap of history if they had any inkling that the US would completely destroy the balance power though. The Russians lived peacefully in the period when non aligned neutral states formed a buffer and maintained somewhat of the old balance of power. The position they have been put in now is untenable to them, right or wrong. They will fight WWIII before allowing one more inch eastward. The terrifying thing is the idiots in DC and many FReepers refuse to look at this from the Russian perspective. If you read the Russian press this situation has been presented their people as a much more dangerous Cuban Missile Crisis that could very well go nuclear. Our “leaders” in government and all powerful media casually talk about fighting and winning WWIII. 40/60 we survive the situation.
From Hillsdale’s Imprimis, September 2022, an article by Christopher Caldwell:
Complications of the Ukraine War
EXCERPT:
George Kennan, who was one of the architects of the NATO alliance when the Cold War began in the late 1940s. Kennan was still alert and active, at about 90 years of age, when NATO won the Cold War at the turn of the 1990s. And in 1997, during the Clinton administration, he warned that American plans to push NATO borders “smack up to those of Russia” was the “greatest mistake of the entire post–Cold War era.”
(Thank you, C210N, for the link.)
Once again, Look up the word “period”. Which media boob told you Reagan retired and Bush destroyed the Warsaw Pact? By strutting it, I did not mean say the same stupid thing over and over. Think up some other stupid thing to say.
I saw that. Kennan has been one of my heroes since 1970. I remember following his take on that period as it unfolded in real time.
“Are we the baddies?”
Evidently.
Wake up, Rip Van Winkle, the USSR expired 30 years ago.
What are the names of the breakaway republics at issue in this.
