It seems again that you really are against anything that can be seen as holding back Russian empire-building, even Reagan’s major blow against its empire he delivered in Afghanistan doesn’t please you.
Russia is a country of 142 million people with an aging, declining population. The EU dwarfs it economically and demographically. Russia presents no conventional military threat to Europe. It is having a difficult time militarily in Ukraine.
The Soviet “Empire” collapsed in 1991. The Warsaw Pact countries are now part of NATO. The Soviets overextended themselves militarily. We are headed down the same path. Our interventionist foreign policy has weakened us. Endless wars have accomplished nothing.
You haven’t provided me with the requested specifics of your assertion that we provided extensive support to Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war.
