I think you are right. My point is that we have real issues to worry about instead of making good nations into evil straw men. As a Republican, I am extremely upset with my party using Russia as a punching bag.
Russia is not a good nation. Russia is an evil tyranny and is America’s worst enemy in the world. KGB Putin is a terrorist mass murderer and a war criminal.
Somebody probably already brought this up, but at the time, the German’s invading the Sudetenland was probably not an issue either, and others may have pointed out that the Tories had bigger fish to fry that carping about the Germans and their adventurism.
History rhymes, you see.
