I can assure you that I am first and foremost an American in everyway. As my name implies, my Ancestors fought for the Confederate States, and my Paternal Grandfather fought in the US Army in WWII, and I have had ancestors in every war since the Revolution. I do sympathise that the Russians killed Ukrainians, but that doesn’t mean all Russians are evil. The Orthodox Church I grew up in, commemorated the Czar and his family, and prayed for a return of the Imperial Government, (because the church was 75% immigres), but I never, EVER heard an Anti-American statement. All were grateful to be Americans, but many lost everything when the Bolsheviks came to power. (Including my Maternal Great-Grandfather)......
What I am getting at, is that your family and MINE lost much, but that bitterness shouldn’t rule our judgement. I disagree with Putin’s actions, but as long as he doesn’t start re-establishing Communism, or threatening us, I feel that it is up to the Russian people to decide what they want.
“but as long as Putin doesn’t start re-establishing Communism, or threatening us”
There you go again! Sorry Tex, I aint biting. Russia needs to be stopped or havent you heard he is pointing his missiles at us again.
Oh yeah, if you really like Russians, you might want to stop him if only because of this.
