"Remain" is the key word. Stalin, whom Putin reverences, and whose Warsaw pact glory he can only wish for, obtained substantial assistance during WW2 from the world's factory, America (with the UK helping), which later helped him obtain German scientists, and together with his own spies developed the atomic bomb, and has had nukes pointed as the US for 70+ years, and against which the US has been fighting proxy wars during that time.
America and the West may be said to have squandered its chance to reconcile Russia after the fall of communism, but besides being rife with corruption, it seems that the West treated Russia more as a defeated foe than as a potential ally against China, which is by far the greatest threat to the West. The latter is committing slow but certain suicide by overall embracing Wokeism, as part of the world's war against the living and true God of the Bible, which enables men to make choices. In this case, the wrong one. With its eternal consequences. See tag.
This is a must read. It takes the loneliness out of just trusting Trump.
People I hear from want Trump to fail much more than they want peace in the Middle East. That’s what I tell myself as how I manage to keep a relationship - friend, cousin, sibling, neighbor.
I expect them to either continue their derangement for the rest of their lives or to come around to logic
I think I am the only one I know without the derangement. The most staunch Trump supporters rave about the “war either Iran” he just started
They don’t see the black knight in the woods screeching at King Arthur to ‘come beck here, I’ll bite you to death”
“... Mr. Trump ...”
As usual, he covers a number of issues, and very well.
I read about Navalny and he had a pre-existing heart condition and died of it while in prison. I don’t have reason to doubt that. Putin didn’t need to turn him into some kind of martyr; and he was also not merely a critic, but a spy. Can’t remember details of his spydom.
