Gorbachev said that exact same thing the other day. Is that you Goby?
Well in this case he happened to be right. Especially that nonsense in the Balkans.
Reagan supported a Marshall Plan to basically build up Russia post-Soviet, I think it would have been a good idea.
WRONG!!! China will use Russia to gauge how far the West can be pushed; safely. It started with Russia taking Crimea... and nothing happened. So China took Hong Kong... and nothing has happened; well other than passing the security laws amd removing Tianaman statue. Russia is currently saber-rattling all along the Ukraine border; and the Biden admin has agreed to “talks” on 1/10/22. Where Paw-Paw will give away the store and commit to start operation for NordStreamII. Oh, and Lukantschenko remains in Belarus. Russia is settlijg in just fine as the lil evil brother while China prepares to take Taiwan.
