In a tragedy, you are the author of your own destruction by a choice you made at some point.
The true Greek tragedy for us, and especially for the Russians, is that the USSR actually DID support separatist movements in the USA back in the old days. From the 30s forward. They had very good success during the Vietnam and civil rights era. They carefully exploited the vicious race relations of Jim Crow. They went all through academia and media to support gutting American culture. They had a pope almost assassinated. They launched PLO terror. They launched the green movement. They launched Red Brigades and other movements around Germany and Italy. It was their game plan, and they executed it masterfully. But then one day the USSR ended and Russia started building churches, learning capitalism for the first time in their history, and trying to be friendly to the west.
They were immediately confronted by the monster they created and nurtured. They were arrayed against Hillary etc, they were arrayed against the pantheon of the American left. This week a German green leader announced Germany was sending tanks to attack Russians. Every hard leftist you can name in media, academia and Hollywood is supporting a nazi force on Russian’s doorstep. Atheist homosexuals screech at them and our government flies a homo flag from the embassy as Russians try to protect their children.
Russia now opposes the things the USSR seduced the west with, but now that Soviet created monster has created a depraved, atheist US government, riddled with homosexuality and revolutionary socialism, hell bent on baby killing and world domination. And much of it is headed by the evil people the USSR pushed to the front.
What Russia is experiencing now is right out of a classic Greek tragedy.
Please see my post #54, Thanks.
I can see that.
Exhibit 7: Shows why the Russophiles hate America. In his defense, he does say it is the government, although in these particular issues you can't really separate the government, the people, and the culture at large.
