Cold War is over Boomer.
It is. I had a front row seat.
However, Hillary needed a diversion for her private server scandal and crimes so she selected a country that opposed globalism and picked an easy villian. She targeted and triangulated “Putin”.
The left, in typical fashion, went into hysterics and the media elbowed each other to get at the front of the line. They continued the lies pretty effectively to weaken the Trump administration and impact the midterm elections giving us Pelosi.
Despite the fact that there was “no there there” to use their words, a sizeable portion of our nation still believes Trump is a Russian stooge. They effectively crippled the ability of the last administration to work with Russia and we will never know if that would have prevented what we now witness. I am pretty confident that this would not have occurred with Trump in office because “energy” certainly played a role in this as well.
Now we have a new “Cold War” with a corrupt nation that possesses the most nukes on Earth attacking one of the most corrupt nations on Earth that had become a playground for Western intel and “diplomatic” missions AND a proxy war by the globalist left against Russia.
If you “unwind” all of this, it is difficult to ignore the importance of the Russian collusion delusion in the conflict. It’s not a conspiracy. Go back and read the idiocy we saw every day in the media throughout the West about “Russia”. It gave the “deep state” in the West the new foe they wanted and justification for budgets.
Your use of “boomer” is spot on. The same people shaped by the “Cold War” transitioned seamlessly to the “War on Terror” and after that never fully materialized and the money pit in the sandbox dried up they needed another “purpose” and here we are..... Cold War II with a decaying Russian Federation that is but a mere shadow of the USSR.
Putin is just as flawed and corrupt on “the other side” (as is Zelensky), but never forget the role that many people in the West played (in our name) in this disaster, especially Hillary Rodham Clinton.
