North Korea did it first by threatening war and firing missiles.
BIG DIFFERENCE!!! Haha S.M.H. Nice try though Haha!
Reagan was dealing with the Soviet Union that was talking about world domination. Last time I checked Russia was not doing that.
Oh yea.. ....***NEWS FLASH*** The Soviet Union has been dead for over a quarter century.
You treating Russia like the communist Soviet Union is like treating Germany today as if it’s Nazi, Germany or Japan during World War II. It’s an irrelevant point and terrible analogy. Not even remotely close.
I disagree with you. Russia is a dictatorship right now unlike Germany or Japan.
Enlightened1, I lived in Russia between 2015-17. A new Cold War is precisely what the regime wants and the average population is conflicted.
On one hand, they want a go at avenging the collapse of the Soviet Union, but on the other hand they want a better economy, some variety in their elections, and for corruption to be gone. (Every sphere of life from getting a parking ticket to getting a passport stamped is wrought with bribery and corruption.)
They also want more territory back.
Nice to see you’re at least capable of making some moral distinctions. I was concerned that you were going to start spewing that one man’ s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter type of BS. You’re not a total lost cause. The problem with your analogy is that Germany and Japan have proven in the years since WWII that they are not what they were and that they have no intention of ever returning to what they were. Putin and Russia? Not so much...
